MONDAY JANUARY 23
SHORTLAND STREET
Ferndale after the fire
Screening: TVNZ 2, 7.00pm
It was all going up in flames as exited 2022 – what has risen from the ashes? “Nobody was left untouched,” the show’s producer, Oliver Driver, declares in the new season’s publicity material, promising that 2023 “is going to be unmissable – we’ve got the lot! We will see some new arrivals and surprise faces as you knew it before … viewers will get to see a little more of what makes up Ferndale. We will go to places everyone has heard of but never seen before.” And hopefully those places will have better sprinkler systems than the smoking wreck of a hospital.
