Real life journalist David Farrier (Tickled) is on a quest to find the everyday New Zealander, the stalwart of our community, in this mockumentary series. He meets seven of these so called “Short Poppies,” a diverse group of unique individuals all played by comedy tour de force, Rhys Darby (Flight of the Conchords, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Yes Man). Meet Rhod Gainer. New Zealandʼs no.1 Muscle Car enthusiast. Rhodʼs pride and joy is his Mazderatti, a converted Mazda that he hopes will be his ticket to gaining membership to the local car club. Rhod doesnʼt really know anything about cars, thatʼs all the work of his best mate Dwayne, but Rhod knows plenty about the law because heʼs the one and only local lawyer.
