For his work on The Hobbit, one of Britain's best loved actors has been living in New Zealand with his family for the best part of three years. In this gorgeous documentary, James explores his newfound passion for the country and its people, travelling from the top of the North Island to the toe of the South and revelling in the characters, culture and landscapes that make New Zealand one of the most fascinating countries on the planet.

On this unforgettable journey, James hooks up with his boss on The Hobbit, director Peter Jackson, gets a Maori tattoo, goes wine tasting on Sam Neill's vineyard, catches up with Rugby legend Jonah Lomu and indulges himself in the Kiwi obsession with extreme sports.
