Remember Spot On, one of our most popular children's TV shows, that played for 15 years from 1973? It was fun, engaging and educational and occasionally daring in its content.
Janine Morrell-Gunn worked on the show in its last years, and has dedicated herself to making television programmes for our tamariki ever since.
She's been a producer, Executive Producer of TVNZ's Children's Unit, and for the past 23 years she's been the co-director of production company Whitebait Media with her husband, Jason Gunn
They saved the another much-loved show, What Now, that's gone on to be the second longest running New Zealand TV show after Country Calendar.
Now Janine's been named as the 2022 Television Legend, as part of the New Zealand Television Awards, for her commitment to children's TV over almost four decades.
Lynn Freeman asked her why she cares so much about what kids watch?
