An excellent episode of Good Morning today, as we had Capt Ian Bradley (retired) of the Royal New Zealand Navy join Barry, Paul and me, as we broadcasted outside. He is a fan of our ‘You’ve Got Male’ segment and was so happy to be with us. We enjoyed his yarns hugely, too.
   For those wondering, Ian is Sarah Bradley’s father, and he has written an autobiography, which I will write about over the weekend. I saluted when I met him off-set.
   For those watching online, fast-forward to 1.07 in the show, as we were on after the news again.
   As it was a Father’s Day special, Ian played a huge part in the show, and even cooked in place of our chef. I managed to get in a pro-Robert Muldoon quip, which must have been the first one uttered on New Zealand television since decimal currency was introduced here in 1967, and remarked that the best way to run Wellington was to conduct a séance with a former mayor—a joke that didn’t seem to get much reaction. Watch it for Ian’s stories today: they make Barry’s, Paul’s and mine pale in comparison. Posted by Jack Yan, 15:10  permalink
