Family Christmas messages tv one broadcast 1985

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

Does anyone remember the family Christmas messages that were broadcast during commercial breaks on (I think) tv one, during December 1985? They are usually about a minute long, during the early evening.

I’ve been trying to get a copy of one from TVNZ and the archives, but don’t have enough details.

My late brother was in one, filmed in Christchurch, and none other of my family ever saw it. It would make an awesome present for my dad. Mum died 15 years ago without seeing it.

So I’m hoping someone might remember some details about the clips. Or even was in one or had family in one. Maybe have a recording, with some details that could help with the search.

Any info would be appreciated.

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.

This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.

Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.

Books wanted

Does anyone have any Alexandre Dumas books they don’t want anymore?
I absolutely love the stories but have only experienced them on screen. Especially The Three Musketeers. I’ve just binge watched the latest series for the second time in 2 months.
