After School - Māorimind (Episode)

As host of weekday kids' programme After School, Olly Ohlson, was the first Māori presenter to anchor his own children's show. His catchphrase (with accompanying sign language) "Keep cool till after school" is remembered by a generation of Kiwi kids. The show also broke ground in its use of te reo Māori on screen. This clip sees co-host Richard Evan and Amber Cunliffe compete in Māorimind (a te reo test based on Mastermind), and build a road sign for the longest place name in New Zealand —a 85-letter te reo gobstopper that Olly rolls out with aplomb: "Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateatu".  

If a pūkeko eats a wētā, how many legs have you got?
