Home Front is a lifestyle television series airing on TVNZ's channel Television One in New Zealand. It combines "home makeover" ideas, home maintenance and DIY tips, and guided tours around the homes of well-known New Zealanders. The series has been running since the early 2000s in several series of 13 episodes each.
Home Front is hosted by Jayne Kiely, Dave Cull, and Sally Ridge, each of whom covers a particular area of the show. Kiely is the primary presenter, and also presents the guided tours. Cull prsents hints and advice for do-it-yourselfers, and Ridge presents the home makeovers section of the show.
Originally hosted by Alison Mau, until she left TVNZ for greener pastures at Prime, this series was hugely successful for TVOne. A rushed reshoot using girl next door Jayne Kiely fronting many stories previously shot using Alison Mau, added to the demise of the series when it was finally axed in 2005.
Famous quotes containing the words home and/or front:
“Chinese were born ... with an accumulated wisdom, a natural sophistication, an intelligent naivete, and unless they were transplanted too young, these qualities ripened in them.... If ever I am homesick for China, now that I am home in my own country, it is when I discover here no philosophy. Our people have opinions and creeds and prejudices and ideas but as yet no philosophy.”
—Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)
“It is surely easier to confess a murder over a cup of coffee than in front of a jury.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
