Colours of Time 

In 1895, young Adele leaves Normandy for Paris, a city alive and buzzing with invention, photography and the rise of Impressionism. In the present day, her descendants inherit an unexpected legacy: a countryside house in Normandy, abandoned for decades and suspended in time. Four of Adele’s descendants arrive to survey the Estate, and together end up piecing together the story of Adele’s unexpected life. 

 

Case 137  

Stéphanie, a police officer working for Internal Affairs, is assigned to a case involving a young man severely wounded during a tense and chaotic demonstration in Paris. While she finds no evidence of illegitimate police violence, the case takes a personal turn when she discovers the victim is from her hometown.

Suzy Cato is a cornerstone of Kiwi children’s entertainment.  

Her TV shows and podcasts are beloved by children and adults alike – ‘You and Me’ in particular holding a special place in the hearts of the audience who grew up with it. 

It delivered over 2000 episodes since it began in 1993, and is credited as one of the first children’s programmes to weave te reo Māori into everyday conversation. 

And now, 33 years later, Cato has released a brand-new season of the beloved show on YouTube, saying it’s needed in an increasingly fast-paced world. 

“We’ve had so many parents say, oh I wish there was something like ‘You and Me’, that was slow and gentle and conversational, and would provide kids an oasis the way they had as children,” she told Newstalk ZB’s Jack Tame. 

They’ve released nine new episodes over the last month or so, and Cato says they’ve already been getting amazing feedback from parents. 

“So many of our kids are, you know, so used to, to a faster pace,” she said. 

“We are getting feedback that the programme is still engaging kids, so that they will be zooming around the room and then they'll come to sit down and actually enjoy some interaction with Auntie Suzy.” 

33 years is a bit of a gap, but it was easy enough for Cato to get back into the swing of things when making this new season. 

“We were very, very lucky – Rex Simpson was an amazing creator,” she told Tame  

Simpson was the executive producer and director behind programmes like ‘What Now’, ‘Play School’, and of course, ‘You and Me’. 

“[He] created such good templates,” Cato explained. 

“So it was easy to use that template, and we didn’t have to change a thing basically." 

Suzy received a little birthday surprise when she came in for the chat.

Kevin Milne was recently sent a parking infringement notice from Rotorua. 

Only thing is, Kevin lives in Wellington, and hadn’t been anywhere near Rotorua at the time of the supposed crime. 

So is it a scam? A mistake? Either way, he’s decided not to pay for it.
