Christine Rankin and Suzanne Paul are among an eclectic mix of panellists who will dish out advice on a new television show.
How's Life? replaces Today Live at 5.30pm weekdays and starts next month. The host will be Charlotte Dawson, who has returned to New Zealand after working as an international
model and broadcaster for Australian TV.
Also on the panel are Women's Refuge director Merepeka Raukawa-Tait, actress Robyn Malcolm, presenter Jude Dobson, radio and television host Kerre Woodham, private detective Julia Hartley-Moore, fashion store owner Cindy Gibbons and food expert Peta Mathias.
Radio host Marcus Lush, comedian and actor Mark Wright and columnist Colin Hogg make up the panel's male quota.
Producer Wendyl Nissen said she had chosen panellists who were good entertainers and had led "big lives", which they could call upon to answer questions.
