EPISODE 1

Make Yourself at Home: Cape Reinga to Auckland

What does it mean to be a Kiwi today? Griff Rhys Jones is determined to find out what makes New Zealand tick as his epic travel documentary commences. He’s traveling north to south taking 'off-highway' routes. Starting at Cape Reinga and travelling via Russell and Kaipara Harbor to Auckland, he finds outdoor art, slippery sand dunes and curious renditions of God Save the Queen.
EPISODE 2

Don't Fall in a Volcano: Auckland to Wellington

If you’re given the advice ‘don’t fall into a volcano’, you should take it. Comedian Griff Rhys Jones is certainly heeding these words as he takes to the air in the latest leg of his epic travel documentary. Traveling from Auckland to the Coromandel and finally Wellington, he witnesses many dormant volcanoes, and then a quite lively one. White water rafting fails to soothe Griff’’s nerves.
EPISODE 4

Jump Off a Cliff: Lake Coleridge to Bluff

Griff Rhys Jones is determined to reach the southernmost tip of New Zealand’s South Island by any (and many) means necessary. This final leg of his epic travel documentary sees him journeying via camper van, helicopter, glider, powerboat and jet-ski. A bungee jump rattles his nerves, then the country’s incredible star-scape soothes him down, before he finds the very tip of the country: Bluff.
