A video of TVNZ's Breakfast show broadcasting live from Cathedral Square. Presenters Paul Henry and Pippa Wetzel have flown down to Christchurch to record a special show titled "Breakfast for Canterbury", which aims to celebrate the Canterbury region's resilience in the aftermath of the 4 September 2010 earthquake.
This edition of the long-running National Film Unit magazine series goes from south to north, then loops the loop. In Christchurch the cathedral and its history are toured and a service for Queen Elizabeth II is shown. Then there’s international get-togethers: a “Jaycees” congress in Rotorua; then Massey, for a Grasslands Conference. At Milson Aerodrome legless British war-hero Douglas Bader is amongst the attendees at the world’s first International Agricultural Aviation Show, and top-dressers demonstrate their “need for speed” skills above a hill country farm.
