Is it weird filming the series in New Zealand when its not actually airing in New Zealand yet?
CH:  Totally, totally – it really is man.  It’s not even here, like no one really knows anything about it.  It comes out in like three weeks but we’ll be done and I’ll be in America.  It’s been kind of perfect, like you get to come to another country, like concentrate totally on the job.  Have no external kind of factors, no people going “can we get on the show blah blah”.  You’re just totally in your own little environment, it’s kinda cool man, it’s like you’re own little secret society.   We’re like chucking it in America for millions and yet we’re in our own little world here, it’s fun.

I once wrote that Bruce Spence’s Zeddicus is the best wizard since Ian McKellan’s Gandalf – who would win in a real fight, Bruce Spence or Ian McKellan?
CH: Yeah wicked!  I think ah, maybe Ian McKellan, because, ah, Zed might be just like “you know what, you can have this one, I’m just going to eat this bread roll instead.”
