The Book Show - Series Two
Television (Full Length Episodes) – 2007
Get your nose stuck into some great reads with the second season of The Book Show, presented by author Emily Perkins. Each episode offers a chatty dive into New Zealand's literary landscape. Perkins hosts a lively book club of readers and writers, sharing their takes on the book of the week from a wonderfully antiquated literary haven. Then journalist Finlay Macdonald hits the road to meet beloved authors like Anne Salmond, Vincent O’Sullivan and Brit Neil Cross, uncovering what makes their writing tick. Back in the studio, Perkins settles in to talk with an author about a particular book that ignited their creativity. Check out all of season two's guests and books in this episode guide.
I'm always happy because your definition of 'young" is elastic...– Roving reporter Finlay Macdonald on Bub Bridger's love of "young" men, in episode three
