David Pumphrey
Producer, Director
Television experience with the BBC helped David Pumphrey win a job in Kiwi television, soon after he returned to New Zealand in 1959. He went on to produce children's shows, live broadcasts, and Montage — forerunner to magazine show Town and Around. Pumphrey also worked on the first TV broadcasts by celebrity cook Graham Kerr, and directed for high profile current affairs shows Compass and Gallery.
Every day was exciting one way or another, by pushing the system a little bit further or doing something that hadn't been done before. David Pumphrey on working in New Zealand television during the 1960s
