Description A satirical look at New zealand's history focusing on Te Radar's New Zealand Heroes: the bumblers and the neer-do-wells, who personify the archetypal she'll be right' spirit that epitomises this country. From the men who sparked the great Uranium Rush of the 1950s, to New Zealand's first aeronautical death, several years before the Wright brothers even left the earth, and the MP who turned bulldozers into tanks to save the country; Te Radar celebrates those who tried and, more often than not, failed.
