Knock knock! Imagine opening your door to find a celebrity guest arriving for dinner. 🚪😯😀 Each week in the late ’90’s Suzanne Paul and Anthony Ray Parker surprised a family with a meal cooked by chef Varick Neilson and a celebrity to chat to.

SHEEP! 🐑 🐑 🐏 It's 1994, Chris Knox is on the radio, mullets are in (for the second time), and Kiwis are outnumbered by sheep. 49.5 million to be exact. So it seems only fitting that Greenstone's first production was an ode to our woolly heroes. Take a look and spot the stars in this thoughtful and funny tribute to the most iconic of NZ animals. We're just lucky they didn't end up on our flag... https://www.nzonscreen.com/title/godzone-sheep-1995 NZ On Screen
