Seasons
Season 1
Jaquie Brown is a young journalist who has found her niche as the light relief on prime time current affairs show ‘ McHuntly at 7′. However when the producers hire a new Fijian reporter who also seems to specialise in ‘quirk’, Jaquie discovers she’s been scoring low with ethnic minorities and attempts to do something about it.
Season 2
Since losing her job on McHuntly at 7 for trying to get Serita fired, Jaquie has hit rook bottom. Her and Tom have left their Cox’s bay dream home for a crappy apartment above K road and Jaquie has been whoring her c-grade celebrity status to a carpet factory to pay the bills. Meanwhile Serita has gone on to become one of TV3’s most valued assets, has her own show coming out and a top ten single. Jaquie’s only chance to climb back up the media ladder is a co-hosting gig on a midday radio show with the equally bitter and even more disgruntled James Coleman. Working with James is a nightmare and Jaquie is desperate to get back into TV, but even with the help of friend and publicist Kim Sharee, the opportunities are few and far between.
