Millen Baird, Great Southern Television and TV3 are proud to present The Millen Baird Show.

Set in a mythical New Zealand town called Paua Point the show follows the misadventures of the town's weird and wonderful inhabitants. The town provides the platform for a host of sketches featuring distinctive characters (we kind of already know) who strut their stuff in an intertwined story line that grows by the week.
