Kākāpō - Night Parrot
Television (Full Length) – 1982
22 Mar 2022 - 03.26pm
I came here for the Kakapos. And I stayed (also) for the Incredible music!

What a little jewel of a programme! Entrancing! The music is a treat. Real music, not synthesized music, composed by Terry Gray. And Peter Hayden's delivery of the poetic text is entrancing too. A superb piece of work. And so totally New Zealand in nature.
