Chris Wright on Asia Downunder

When producer/presenter Melissa Lee took off to Wellington to join the National Party's ranks, Chris Wright stepped in to produce. Chris is an award winning and experienced television professional who spent 20 years with the BBC before making New Zealand his home.

His credits include the very successful and 11 year run of the 'Taste New Zealand' stable of programmes for TVNZ.

Having made food travel programmes in many Asian countries, from India through Thailand to Vietnam, Asian destinations and its people are one of the backdrops to Chris's experience.

Chris enjoys being outdoors, loves kayaking and walking and is a keen and creative gardener. He enjoys eating all manner of Asian food - his favourite is a hot creamy Laksa. He can sometimes be found creating a little mystery of his own in the kitchen.
