Synopsis

In the series, Dean Waretini is a 65 year old taxi driver.[1] The seven part[2] comedy series, which is about Waretini, is a blurring of fact and fiction. Besides Waretini, it also features Orlando, the manager from Wayne Anderson - Singer of Songs, and a former Russian nuclear physicist. In a short review of the show, Paul Casserly of The New Zealand Herald said that sometimes it was hard to tell what was fact and what was fiction.[3] It has a "road trip" theme to it. Along for the ride is Raewyn-Anne who is the founder of his fan club of 16 strong.[4] The series follows Waretini as he moves around from Christchurch to where he started off in Rotorua with him hoping to re start his career with Orlando Stewart organizing his venues.[5] Frolov has a job to get Waretini info physical shape while Waretini tries to teach him his song.[6] One of the episodes features Deane and Andrei recording a song.[7]
