10pm Mondays TV ONE. 9 July - 10 September 2007

Selected sketches from Facelift are available to view on our YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/gibsongroup) and you can watch cut-down versions of all 10 episodes on TVNZ On Demand (www.tvnzondemand.co.nz).

The topical weekly show Facelift returned for a fourth series in 2007. This popular show comprised ten episodes full of satirical sketches featuring Kiwi politicians, sportspeople and celebrities. The famous faces are rendered first as 2D caricatures by the talented Trace Hodgson, then given a third dimension via sculpting as foam prosthetics and finally brought to vibrant life by the Facelift cast, a talented bunch of comic impersonators.
 
Unlike most other TV shows where a small group of professional writers generate all the scripts, Facelift gets 200-300 pages every week from over 50 writers up and down the country. This ensures the show has a wide range of material available from writers of every political hue.

This mass of material is edited and re-edited until the script department has identified the 30 pages of script which are shot each Friday. Facelift  boasts a very experienced team of staff writers and editors including Dave Armstrong, Paul Yates and Jane Clifton.

Facelift's unique 'take' on Kiwi politics, popular culture, sports and celebrities ensures that the humour remains accessible and mainstream. The show's popularity has continued to build during the first  three series and there is every reason to expect Facelift 4 to be a favourite with the TV ONE audience.

During the 10 week run viewers could sign-up to receive weekly Facelift emails and access to sketches before the show aired. If you want to join the list for next time send an email to (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) to sign-up.
