Skill wise - yea, India is a top team but one has to say for a population of under 10 million New Zealand is the best team around given their...

It's very simple. There are multiple producers attached to a channel / media house. The guys at the top greenlight projects. They may not greenlight certain projects which would put them at odds with their own administration / Govt. But it's not as if the head of the BBC be like "Let's put the...
