Sale of the Century (Australia; October 3, 1990)

[@alexjohnward]

I was in the Audience that week, great fun.

[@AchtungBaby77]

Hi Alex, that would've been an awesome memory! Do they record multiple episodes back-to-back, with brief breaks in-between for Tony and Alyce to change wardrobe?

[@alexjohnward]

@@AchtungBaby77 yes 5 episodes in about 2 hours I think, but it might have been less, it was a long time ago! Had to wait a few months for our episodes to come up, I was in an audience shot for atleast one of them! We didn't have a VHS so I only ever saw myself once!

It wasn't often Pete Smith appeared on camera.

This was a much better game show than the crap we get now.

[@Musicradio77Network]

This show was aired a year after the US version ended its run.

Was Tony a bit tipsy on this episode???

[@theguywiththegames1594]

One prize plug had to be muted because the music was apparently used in Beverly Hills Cop, of all things. Sorry, but that's just how it is.

bluebear1985 er what does that have to do with sale

[@Musicradio77Network]

@@ukgladiatorsfan That’s why “$ale of the Century” ended in the US in 1989. This show continued to run in Australia a year after “$ale” ended in the US.

[@MrShieldsy100]

Great upload, how many consecutive episodes do you have?

[@theguywiththegames1594]

I have this and the two episodes after. The two prior are also out there, but there were other shows I considered more worthwhile.

I deal with a lady who works in the Bendigo Office of the company I work for who reminds me of Alyce Platt when I talk to her on the phone
