How freakin awesome is this show? Gotta be totally staged, you surely can't get away with that shit in NZ without a bit of pre-empting.

Orlando worked in Video Easy Ponsonby Road for years while he was a film and media student, his brother was my first tenant. Orlando is just the same in real life, a big boofy guy with a good word and time for everyone.

They made that singer from Manurewa TV series a few years back.

I caught the end of it. From what I saw it was really good. Finally a Kiwi show I might actually watch.

If it wasn't staged I don't think those two would have made it out if that Inn alive.

About the show

Rural Drift is a partially scripted comedy series that fortunes of a hapless Auckland resident, Orlando Stewart, as he heads blindly into the country in a desperate attempt to downsize, escape the stresses of the city and set up a small rural based business.

The problem is he doesn't have a clue.

Utilising the look and story telling techniques of the mockumentary comedy, Rural Drift is a sharply observed satire that mixes real life with set up scenarios.

Like Christopher Guest's groundbreaking movies This is Spinal Tap, Best in Show and Waiting for Guffman or television series like The Office and Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm, the series mixes the scripted and the unscripted, using set-up storylines but improvised dialogue and the incorporation of "real" characters and situations.

Rural-fuckin'-drift.
A bit like me - piss on the lawn, fire the .22 all over the section, skid the tyres everywhere...and don't give a fuck about the WOF, rego or 'sustained-loss-of-traction; shee-it.

And yeah, I've had a few....
