My Take

Clarke Gayford is too often reduced to a footnote beside Jacinda Ardern, but I find him genuinely interesting on his own terms. The Gisborne-born broadcaster's fishing documentary Fish of the Day shows an unhurried, curious man who clearly loves the water more than the spotlight. While his wife led a country through extraordinary years, he held down his own work and their home life without grasping for attention. That quiet self-possession appeals to me far more than celebrity-by-association. I'd rather watch him talk fish than trade on a famous surname, and I suspect he'd prefer it that way too.
