The Jaquie Brown Diaries - Season 1

The Jaquie Brown Diaries is a New Zealand comedy series in which real life TV journalist Jaquie Brown plays an insecure, overambitious, status obsessed reporter doing fluff pieces for a hard hitting current affairs show called ‘McHuntly at Seven’. With the help of her morally bankrupt publicist Kim Sharee, Jaquie tries to claw her way up the media ladder, but her efforts are sidelined by the arrival of a new reporter, Serita Singh, whose journalistic style is strikingly similar to Jaquie's and seems to be stealing her thunder at an alarming rate.

The series takes a satirical look at the life of a c-grade celebrity and brings the society supplements of the newspapers to frightening fruition as Jaquie encounters, romances and bitch-slaps many of New Zealand’s most well known celebrities.

Including over 45 minutes of bonus material.

Reviews:

"I watched two episodes of the show and nearly fell off my chair laughing. It’s a very sharp satire on fame and celebrity, and Brown plays herself brilliantly."
Grant Smithies - The Sunday Star Times

"Brown is a clever girl and a gifted comic, simply because she’s not trying to be one.  The Jaquie Brown Diaries could be our own version of genius Aussie Satire Frontline…"
Deborah Hill Cone - NZ Herald

"…now I’ve watched the Jaquie Brown Diaries I have to say this chick rocks.  Jaquie’s not afraid to stick it to herself which she does in the most glorious fashion. And you can’t help but like someone who’s willing to staunch a nosebleed with a tampon on national TV…she’s obviously in her element."
Fiona on the box - Sunday News

"Jaquie Brown has the skills to satirize herself…. and she does it quite superbly… It's great television."
Simon Wilson - National Radio
