3 Seasons

Topp Country is a television series starring New Zealand's beloved music and comedy duo, the Topp Twins, Jools Topp and Linda Topp. The show was first aired in 2014 and was produced by Janson Media. The show follows the twin sisters as they explore the incredibly beautiful and diverse regions of New Zealand.

Throughout the series, Jools and Lynda explore the country's great outdoors, meeting up with locals who are experts in their field, and try out activities unique to different regions. The twins' humor and friendly personalities make them instantly likable, and the show's upbeat and adventurous nature adds to the enjoyment of each episode.

The show opens with the brightly dressed, red-headed twins driving along the beautiful New Zealand scenery to a new location in their beloved campervan, which is lovingly referred to as "the Green Goddess." They introduce each episode with a short pitch on what activities they will try and where they are going, setting the tone for what promises to be a fun-filled adventure.

What sets Topp Country apart from other travel shows is that the sisters fully immerse themselves in the location they are visiting. They try their best to experience local life, whether it's attending the local rodeo or enjoying the country's famous cuisine. Their sense of humor shines through, and they are never afraid to make fun of themselves or those around them.

In each episode, Jools and Lynda explore a different facet of the New Zealand lifestyle, showcasing the country's unique cultural aspects. They visit local residents and try out various activities that are special to that area. For example, in one episode, the Topp Twins took to the skies in a glider in beautiful Omarama, which happens to be one of the best places in the world for this activity. In another, they visit the South Island's beautiful West Coast, where they experience the thrill of white-water rafting and take a unique hot tub ride.
