Anticipation was building - who was going to fill the 2nd seat on stage..... and what a perfect choice .. Mike Hosking.. no one else could have carried the show as well as he did......
William Shatner was very clever.. great, spontaneous... wonderfully playing with the NZ accent.
The show covered all that was expected.... his upbringing, his career, his family and how life has taught him to be who he is ... A Yes man...
He drew the audience in from the start, although it was obvious that we all loved him so the show could only go in one direction and he could do no wrong.
Well done to Mike for allowing the audience to show their appreciation when we wanted to........ to pause and let us tell the man that he was 'the man'.
I hope his final fronteer is a very long way away....
