    The Legend of William Tell

    The Legend of William Tell is a 16-part television fantasy/drama series produced in 1998 by Cloud 9 Productions in New Zealand. The basic premise of the series — a crossbow-wielding rebel defies a corrupt governor — and the name of the title character were adopted from the traditional story, but the series was set in a fantasy world and featured supernatural themes.

    Described by executive producer Raymond Thompson as “Star Wars on the planet Earth”, this is a fantasy saga of bravery, magic, myth and romance. William Tell is the youthful leader of a band of young, ‘brat pack’ outlaws, forever hunted by the forces of darkness, led by Xax and Kreel, who have usurped power in their homeland. The series of self-contained stories follows Will’s quest to restore young Princess Vara to her rightful place on the royal throne and defeat Xax and Kreel’s forces — and by doing so, bring back peace and order to the Kingdom of Kale.

    There is action and adventure along the way, magic, creatures, mystery, intrigue — but also much human drama and interplay among Will’s rebel band who must support each other in their quest. The group encounter a diverse range of people and situations on their journey — some help the resistance movement, others are cohorts of Xax and Kreel.

    The Tribe

    The Tribe is a New Zealand/British post-apocalyptic fictional TV series primarily aimed at teenagers. It is set in a near-future in which all adults have been wiped out by a deadly virus, leaving the children of the world to fend for themselves. The show’s focus is on an unnamed city inhabited by tribes of children and teenagers. It was primarily filmed in and around Wellington, New Zealand.

    The series was created by Raymond Thompson and Harry Duffin and was developed and produced by the Cloud 9 Screen Entertainment Group in conjunction with the UK’s Channel 5. It has aired on over 40 broadcast networks around the world.

    It debuted on Channel 5 on 24 April 1999 and quickly gained a large fan base. From 1999 to 2003, five series and 260 half-hour episodes were produced. Series 6 was scheduled to begin filming in 2003, but Nick Wilson, of Channel 5, and Raymond Thompson felt that “although the show was still performing well, the cast was getting too old and the series was beginning to stretch the core proposition.” They felt the characters were not kids fending for themselves without adults any more. As a result, the show was cancelled. Channel 5 aired the final two episodes on 6 September 2003.

    Atlantis High

    Atlantis High is a teen comedy TV show, shot in New Zealand in 2001.

    The plot revolves around 16-year-old Giles Gordon, who has just moved to Sunset Cove, “a beautiful coastal surfing town where the sun is always shining, the people are all beautiful and everything is perfect… or so it seems.” He enrolls in Atlantis High School, where he soon discovers that Sunset Cove is unlike any town he’s ever seen: populated by double-agents, aliens and high school students with blue hair and pointy ears, its inhabitants are eccentric lunatics who at times turn into superheroes or other whimsical figures.

    Atlantis High both parodies soap operas and pays homage to spoof television.
