RNZ Interview: The Early Years of Shortland Street - Michael Galvin, Chris Bailey & Carmen Leonard

Interview – 2022

New Zealand's longest running soap opera, Shortland Street, was met with much disappointment from audiences when it first aired in 1992. But the show has since managed to win people over to remain a television staple. Original executive producer Chris Bailey, first assistant director Carmen Leonard, and actor Michael Galvin join Jesse Mulligan to talk about the show's early years.

This audio interview was recorded for RNZ National's NZ Screen History series, which aired in 2021 as part of Afternoons with Jesse Mulligan. The content is copyright to RNZ, and may not be reproduced from NZ On Screen.
