Our family lived in New Zealand during the last 6 months that the public service TV channel TVNZ 7 was broadcast, before its funding was terminated. During the final weeks, there were very few programmes remaining - but the channel continued to air trailers for them. Because we watched nothing else, phrases from these trailers have stuck fast as family catchphrases. This blog is for others who are suffering from TVNZ 7 withdrawal or nostalgia.

The Ars Tits
"The Artists" was a really nice 5-minute segment screened just before the evening news, featuring the work of a prominent New Zealand artist. As the days of TVNZ 7 drew to a close, these were repeated more and more often - we probably saw the profile of organist Gillian Weir, presented by Peter Averi, a dozen times (familiarity didn't make it any less enjoyable). The title sequence for The Artists featured the letters drifting around the screen, temporarily forming the quote of our catchphrase.
