He is Peters son Ziggy.
We think it helps draw the audience into this version of Wellington life.
DEADLINE:What has Robyn told you about how she approached her performance?
I cant do any executive producing from now until the end of the shoot.
Shed been very involved in the script development, the casting and everything up to that point.
I am blown away with what she delivered.
Does that criticism ring true for the industry and how did you circumvent it withAfter the Party?
DEADLINE:Could the show live on?
What format would it take?
We dont want to outstay our welcome.
DEADLINE:Are you working with Dianne and Robyn on any other new projects?
Hopefully when they are, they will show us.
And Emily Anderton, the script editor, has come across to work on another Lingo show.
We love the talent we found in Aotearoa.
DEADLINE:What else is Lingo working on?
Then we have a couple of other shows in web link development and others in earlier development.
We get great support of all kinds from the central team in London.
It gives Jason Stephens and me so much more time to think about our shows.
We love it and our staff love it.
Two years in and it is feeling like the best move we could have made.
