NZ SERIES PREMIERE
Set in the near future, this epic drama introduces a completely
transformed planet Earth, inhabited by the survivors of a universal war.
Forced to cohabit, the disparate group of human and alien races, known
collectively as Votans, struggles to build a new society among the
devastation. They eventually settle among the ruins of St Louis, rebuilding
a town where humans and aliens can live alongside each other.
At the centre of this world is roguish Nolan (played by Kiwi star Grant
Bowler) and his adopted alien daughter Irisa (Stephanie Leonidas), who
takes over as sheriff of Defiance and enlists the help of deputies, and
occasionally some civilians. They all work together to maintain law and
order in the town and region, with the help of inexperienced mayor
Amanda Rosewater (Julie Benz), powerful businessman Rafe McCawley
(Graham Greene) and aristocratic Castithan immigrant Datak Tarr (Tony
Curran). Meanwhile, a group of high-profile residents conspires against
factions seeking to make Defiance a safe and successful town.
To survive in this unforgiving landscape, it will take strength. It will take
will. It will take defiance.
Created by Rockne S O’Bannon (Farscape), and with music from Bear
McCreary (Battlestar Galactica), Defiance is a true science-fiction series
from some of the genre’s most talented writers. Make sure you tune in for
our feature-length premiere!

names stand up and show that they can match it
with the very best.
“I always want to see Brendon McCullum
performing because he can be such a genuine
match-winner.”
Martin Guptill and Jesse Ryder have been the
regular openers for the BLACKCAPS in the past few
ODI series but Ryder fell foul of the selectors after
the Indian series and may struggle to be selected.
“The opening partnership is an area that needs
to be addressed. I’m not sure it is a certainty
around who will actually open the batting,”
says Richardson.
Wicketkeeper Luke Ronchi has been used
to open innings in the shortened forms of the
game, while youngster Tom Latham is another
likely option after some good form in the test
tour of the West Indies in June.
Richardson says he likes what he sees in Latham.
“He is someone I have a big rap on. I think he
can be a classy opener in all forms of the game.
I’d like to see them give him a decent shot to
cement himself in the role.”
Also returning this summer will be the popular
Tui Catch-A-Million promotion where fans can
be in to win if they catch a six one-handed on the
full on TV while wearing an orange Tui shirt. “The
crowd really got into it last year and it adds an extra
dimension of entertainment,” says Richardson.

The test wicketkeeper has been

RECIPES
CHICKEN & HERB
SAUSAGE ROLLS
200g crème fraîche (or cream cheese)
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, crushed
Zest of 1 lemon
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
4-6 bagels, toasted or grilled
250g cold smoked salmon
1/2 red onion, very thinly sliced
(I use a mandoline)
1 tbsp capers
Handful watercress or fresh herbs to serve
Lemon wedges to serve
SERVES 4
You can’t go past a good sausage roll, and
making your own really takes them to the
next level. No more greasy after-taste! These
are amazing as a snack, or as lunch or dinner
with a salad or vegetables. You’ll never look
at bought sausage rolls again.
1. Mix the crème fraîche, chives, dill,
mustard, garlic and lemon zest until
well combined and smooth. Season
with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Spread the bagels with the herb
cream, top with smoked salmon and
red onion and scatter with capers.
Give each bagel a crack of pepper.
Garnish with watercress or herbs and
serve with lemon wedges.
Filling
500g chicken mince
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 tsp dried marjoram or tarragon
2 tsp Dijon mustard
Zest of 1 lemon
3/4 cup fresh breadcrumbs (or 1/2 cup dried,
mixed with 2 tbsp milk)
1/2 cup grated courgette
1/2 cup grated apple
1 free-range egg, lightly beaten
1/2 tsp salt (or 1 tsp flaky salt)
1 tsp white pepper
1 x 400g block frozen flaky puff pastry,
defrosted
1 free-range egg beaten with 1 tbsp milk
(egg wash)
Sesame or poppy seeds to serve
1. Preheat the oven to 170°C fan-bake. Line a
baking tray with baking paper.
2. Place all the filling ingredients in a large
mixing bowl. Mix together with clean hands
until thoroughly combined.
3. Cut the pastry block in half widthways.
Roll out each half on a clean floured
benchtop to a long rectangle 3mm thick.
Arrange half the filling in a neat log
lengthways down the middle. Snugly fold up
both sides of the pastry to meet on top, and
trim the overlap to about 2cm. Brush egg
wash on both parts of the join, and press
to seal.

SALMON BAGELS WITH
ZINGY HERB CREAM
Summer comes early for cricket fans this year.
With the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 looming
large in the new year, world cricket’s powerhouse
nations are frantically putting together their final
preparations before the sport’s ultimate prize
goes up for grabs.
With the tournament being co-hosted by
New Zealand and Australia, the BLACKCAPS will
have no shortage of opponents this season as
sides seek to sample the Kiwi pitches they will
encounter next February and March.
The first of no less than three international
ODI series to be hosted by Brendon McCullum’s
side features South Africa, who arrive for three
matches late this month.
“There is no doubt that these are warm-up
games to kick off the world cup campaign,” says
SKY Sport cricket commentator Mark Richardson.
“These are games to help prepare.
“But a lot can happen before the world cup,”
adds the former BLACKCAP.
Richardson sees the series as the first chance
to settle on the line-up and style that can carry the
side through the summer. “It is important to go in
with the players that they think will be there later
in the year. They need to start how they intend
to finish in the sense that they don’t want to be
searching for answers closer to the tournament.”
New Zealand closed last summer with an
impressive series win against India and want to
pick up where they left off. Batsmen McCullum,
Ross Taylor and Kane Williamson have developed
a real consistency in their scoring, while the
bowling unit has been well led by young seamers
Tim Southee and Trent Boult.
Richardson says it is vitally important the
leading players fire for the BLACKCAPS in home
conditions. “South Africa are a real favourite to
Developed by Ronald D Moore,
this sci-fi thriller follows a group
of scientists deployed to a
research facility in the Arctic
to investigate a potential virus
outbreak. The team is thrust into
a life-and-death situation with
the infected showing zombie-like
characteristics and the scientists
find themselves holding the key
to mankind’s salvation.
Expanding on the 1995 film from
director Robert Rodriguez and
writer Quentin Tarantino, this
supernatural crime series follows
the Gecko Brothers, a crime duo
on the run from the FBI. After
the brothers hijack an RV, an
unpredicted stop at a run-down
strip club exposes the legion of
vampires who dwell there.

Based on the best-selling novel trilogy from Academy Award®-winning
filmmaker Guillermo del Toro and author Chuck Hogan, The Strain is a
high-concept thriller. It tells the story of Dr Ephraim Goodweather, the
head of the Centre for Disease Control Canary Team in New York City,
whose team is called upon to investigate a mysterious viral outbreak
with hallmarks of an ancient and evil strain of vampirism.
“The world of The Strain is a particular mix of technical driven
sequences with an almost gothic approach to science,” says del Toro,
the director of celebrated science fiction and horror works like Hellboy
and Pan’s Labyrinth. “We’re trying to find the gothic in the now, the
creepy and the decaying, and find things that are festering there.”
