Control Room George gets the ultimate Potato punishment

If you hate watching food go to waste, look away.

Control Room George is an old man in a young person's body, and we let him have a space to share his old-man hobby of gardening on our show with a segment titled 'George's Gardening Corner'.

Loyal fans (who mainly live in retirement villages) find such joy in young George's gardening advice - but his week's segment was filled with lies and fake news.

After misleading the New Zealand public with his fake Potato facts, we needed to restore our credibility the best way we know how - through mashed potatoes.
