Pukemanu

Pukemanu was a New Zealand television series that ran from 1971 to 1972.

The series, set in a fictional location, was considered to break ground in the way it approached the subject and examined the town that it was set in. It was produced by Tony Isaac.

The series was the first time that Ian Watkin appeared on screen. He played the town doctor. A core cast member was Ernie Leonard who played the part of Charlie Rata. Veteran actress Pat Evison played the part of Phylis Telford.
