The Remembered Past
A YOUNG nation may at times tend to over-value its brief history, investigating its roots with the enthusiasm of a young gardener displaying his prize parsnips. Yet there is comfort to be found no doubt in the spectacle of roots now over a hundred years old, and their ramifications as revealed to us in a former NZBS serial Today in New Zealand History ministered to our desire for a feeling of permanence. It was an excellent serial, concise, informative and well delivered; it could very well, I felt, have become a permanent feature of our programmes, for only the occasional mental giant would be capable ‘of remembering precisely’ from one year to the next the information contained in each five-minute episode. After a total disappearance, however, apparently a compromise has been reached, for Today in New Zealand History now makes a welcome reappearance from 4YA on Saturday nights at 6.20 p.m.
