Maddigan's Quest - First Episode

When the great chaos changed the face of the world, out of the ashes came Solis, the Shining City: our home. Every year we leave Solis to earn some bread, to spread some joy, to entertain.

– Garland (Rose McIver) introduces the episode

We're Maddigan's Fantasia, best in the world. We don't just take anybody.

– Garland (Rose McIver)

Our home is powered by the sun through the solar converter. Everyone knows that. But what no one knows is that the solar converter is wearing out and when that dies so will Solis.

– Garland (Rose McIver)

It allows you to completely step outside of what you are... It's not something you can always relate to. You get to encounter all these amazing people and places and big props and all that kind of thing. It's really grand.

– Actor Rose McIver in an interview with NZ Herald, 9 February 2006

The story is about the truth of children's faith... All those things that we tend to lose when we become adults or get warped by politics or whatever. They're the best things to retain. Good will triumph over evil.

– Actor Michael Hurst in an interview with NZ Herald, 9 February 2006
