Brisbane TV 1984 - Making of 'The New Price is Right' (Seven Network Australia)

[flokatirug]

Pity no episodes of the Australian Press Your Luck have turned up.

[Seattlecarnut]

Although it doesn't surprise me that there is an Australian version of The Price is Right, I do find this version more interesting than our American Price is Right.

[pugsley2005]

@Seattlecarnut I have to say the aussie versions were much better than the US PIR but I'm not bias - am I?

[Seattlecarnut]

@pugsley2005 Unless you're from Australia, or live in Australia.

The US Price is RIght left Australian screens momentarily but has returned on Foxtel's Arena channel - still showing season 38 though, wish they'd catch up more

What were the names of the songs in this video!

[djcchs2004]

Wow, that wheel look so colorful.

[oaklandfan2k8]

And Why did they cloned the Temptation, Range Game and the Dice Game did they replicated from the US Version?

[catholicpriest1]

Marconi Cameras....the set is smaller than Hollywood version....look at how the big wheel is right next to the turntable.

[johnnyafairbanks]

Those Marconi Mark VIII cameras were also used by KTVF Channel 11 here in Fairbanks, Alaska as their first color cameras in the early '70s. They thought they were cheaper than the RCA, Norelco, and GE cameras that dominated the US television field at the time.

Fiona McDonald (sister of Jacki) was the reporter there. Wombat I think went national from 1984, after seen only in Brisbane from the late 70's.

It seems like the end of this is cut off...is there any more? I'm trying to find my Mum somewhere in the footage!

[pugsley2005]

This is the lot of it...no more, your mum probably was in the crowd hoping to come on down!!!

[SkylandFilms]

Nope, Mum was the art director...she made all the signage!

[germanname1990]

Really? Lucky you!

[the06bug]

Do you know what song they played in the background here?

[RonicW]

Yeah really...I'd like to know what song this is too! :)

[michaelbeckham]

Was this from Agro?

[germanname1990]

It may have been, but it sounded like Joan Jett.

[the06bug]

What song is this in the background?

[germanname1990]

I wanna know too. That song sounded good!!

[jpvp2]

very interesting shots of the studio and cameras, i wonder if my 3 marconi mark 8 cameras were used on that production?
