10 TV Australia - Ian Turpie's The Price is Right (Australia) 1989

[MeFrom07]

I didn't realise that the music used in this version of TPiR was carried over to the Nine Network when Larry hosted the show in the 1990s. It also sounds like it came from the same composer and/or band that recorded the 1989-1999 variation of the Sale of the Century theme as well.

the game show only works in an hour format like in the States, 30 minute version like in Oz was crap

Video movies?

[shoredude2]

I know videos were more expensive in 1989 then they are today, but over $100 a piece ?????

[ukgladiatorsfan]

Crikey $654 for 6 videos LOL

I want to play TPIR if it returns by the next few years!

[boogiefever1985]

It was possible to buy VHS videos before they were released to the general public. They were sold to video rental shops of course. The usual price to the video shop was $119 per tape, but this is ok because they stand to make a profit from the tapes. That's why they are so expensive, they may have been at the cinema last week.

Those were the days, Ian Turpie.. John Burgess and Tony Barber were the best!

Hmm... was Lena raised by Samoans? ;-)

(If you don't understand, our US version of TPiR had many Samoan contestants chasing after Bob and picking him up and twirling him around, just like Lena did in the clip)

[pugsley2005]

Lena is a real champ - a great contestant who deserved the Ford Falcon. Interesting to see the dynamics, how Ian worked so well with her to produce yet another enjoyable pricing game.

[Brucetiki]

I was gonna say $24000+ for an EA Falcon - we sold ours for $400 a month ago!

[ryanthescooterguy]

My grandparents had a Falcon GL in 1991 and a GLI in 1994!

[frankmat]

Over $600 for 6 x VHS Videotapes????? Geeez....

[gshowguy]

Even in AUSTRALIAN dollars, that's still expensive!! (If I have my knowledge of exchange rates correct, US$1.00 = about AU$1.30 at the time of this episode)

I think the train was included LOL
