I remember there were 2 variations to this advert. The one you see here is the TVNZ version showing TVNZ shows the other was the TV3 version showing TV3 shows.
I am still glad I never had to pay a broadcasting fee.
Thanks for uploading this clip its got me in it when I was about 10.I'm the young guy wit the bright yellow hoodie on at the start youll miss me if I blink...my brother,sister and cousins are in there too crack up.thanks for the memorys
its a shame that the wizards house burnt down. He lost all his books. He doesnt seem to be much of a presence in chch anymore. He had a good run though. It's nice to think that the nz of a generation ago was liberal enough to let a wizard be a wizard. Do you think we still are, times are a changing ay. Globalisation has definitely had somewhat of an impact on the laid back feel of 1980's nz. oh well.
The New Zealand of today is more liberal than the 1980's. I've seen the wizard a couple of times in the 2000's, he hasn't toned down his act for the sake of PC.
What year was this?

I remember this ad. I also remember the days when you had to have a license to own a tv. If you had more tvs the more it cost.
