Episode Details

Rose Matafeo came home from London to star in New Zealand Spy, a new local comedy set in the 70s about the country's intelligence agency recruiting the only three people who applied to protect the nation from the threat of Australia. Written by Paul Williams, the show also stars Bret McKenzie, Joe Thomas and Tim Key, and is streaming on TVNZ+ now. Matafeo, who won Best Show at the Edinburgh Fringe for Horndog and wrote and starred in three seasons of BBC series Starstruck, joins Culture 101 to talk about the show and what it means to be recognised at home.
