Hatakehi Māori Highlighted In One-Off
Billy T Special
Maori Television is paying tribute to
world famous Maori funny man Billy T James with a one-off
special highlighting some of his best sketches.
With
Billy T – Te Movie opening in cinemas on Thursday 18
August, we have selected some of Billy T James’ most
renowned sketches to showcase in a one-off Billy T Special
screening on Friday 2 September at 8pm.
In 1987, Billy
T set up his own company to produce his television series,
which contained some of his classic and best loved
sketches.
The Billy T Special is the pick of those
sketches, re-edited by Maori Television in collaboration
with Tom Parkinson, who also produced Billy T – Te Movie.
Join Maori Television for a hilarious 60 minutes that not
only shows some of the best of Billy T but is a fitting
tribute to the late great comedian.
Tune into Maori
Television on Friday 2 September at 8pm for a hatakehi night
with our Billy T
Special.
