The New Price Is Right - 1 (1989)

I created this video with the KZbin Video Editor ( / editor )

[@waynehough13]

I’ve grown up watching Bob on Central News, had no idea he briefly presented The Price Is Right

[@leemurphy5978]

Same here!

[@ChuckD79]

Thanks for sharing...interesting how the opening calldown used the fully-orchestrated version of "Walking" (not heard on the US series since late 1979), and didn't segue into the main theme until after Bob was introduced.

[@michaelmayfair3581]

This episode is actually from July 1990, based on the Sky One promos for the live cricket game & The Secret Video Show.

[@jamesfish18]

This needs to come on regularly again I miss it so much, I loved watching it on Friday Evenings in my childhood

[@gladfan1989]

Nice that they included the same music package from the US version.

[@Musicradio77Network]

Yep! They recycled the theme song and the “Come On Down”, “Losing Horns”, etc. from the US version.

[@barrybear2012]

Almost 1990, and this version of TPIR was using the US TPIR's original 1976-79 version of the "Walking" come-on-down cue.

[@Dim4323]

Didnt know bob was a host, i remember him reporting the news

[@millenniumman75]

Ironically, a lot of the early music used on the Price is Right was actually recorded in London!

[@KrakenMan5853]

The early music was recorded at Abbey Road Studios. Where the Beatles' Abbey Road album was recorded.

[@Classictv90s]

The New Price is Right was recorded on the same set as the Leslie Crowther ITV era of the show.

[@antster1983]

The Leslie Crowther version moved partway through its run from Birmingham to Nottingham. Talbot Telegame moved the show back to Brum for the Sky incarnation.

[@tmas1993]

Now this is a British adaption of a US gameshow done completely right! Jeopardy and wheel of fortune are prime examples of how the UK likes to butcher US gameshows, changing music, rules etc. This PiR is just perfect.

[@ChuckD79]

And like its American counterpart, this version was also hosted by a guy named Bob! 😅

[@wecantfightgravity]

Sometimes the U.S. butchered several U.K. game shows, like The Million Pound Drop (Million Dollar Money Drop in the U.S.), Who Wants To Be A Millionaire (syndicated 2010-2019), The Chase (GSN and ABC),...The Weakest Link (U.S. NBC revival) could count (the final double-money banked round being removed, the chatting before revealing the votes, the target being increased every round, and the votes not being handwritten,...) but at least the remixed 2021 sountrack was still identical and faithful to the classic one.

[@gregoryschaiberger3701]

I love how they use the late 70s walking theme.

[@riley1049]

5:30 A US Price is Right classic: the freeze frame of a contestant after winning/losing their pricing game.

[@MrRemark21]

This "Come-On-Down" opening was on CBS daytime from Monday, February 23, 1976 through Friday, October 5, 1979 as well as syndicated weekly from 1976 through late 1979.

[@creynolds094]

VO: Bobby Bragg AKA the voice of Supermarket Sweep.

[@riley1049]

I hope Bob Barker allowed the UK Price is Right to use the "come on down" music, the 1972-2007 theme, and some of the prize cues to use on their show.

[@davidpar2]

I notice that by this point the Brits had adopted a theme music very much like our American TPIR

[@ajk]

This WAS the American Price theme lol, the earlier one anyway, at least I think the main theme was the lower pitched version that was replaced in 83 or so. And the COD theme definitely was older.

[@Musicradio77Network]

This was compared to “The Muppet Show” when the show was taped in the UK back in the 1970’s, it uses the American actors as well as voice actors that are American. “The Muppet Show” was shown in both the UK and US in the late 70’s and early 80’s when it was first on ITV through ATV, and in US syndication through ITC.

[@stixnatedogg]

Wow…the opening fanfare used was the 1976-1979 variation of “Walking”!

[@christinaharris5087]

The come on down theme is for the opening of the show

[@christinaharris5087]

1 person in the Australia showcase in America it's 2 people to compete in the showcase there was a nighttime version of the price is right it was hosted by young and the restless soap star Doug Davidson from 1994 to 1995

[@Tubewings]

This version of UK "Price" always seemed...weird to me, mainly because it used the American version's music and it looked more American than the previous Crowther version. If there is something positive I can say about this version of the show, it's that it influenced future European versions of the show, including "Bruce's Price is Right".

20 May 1989

[@brianmarshall4753]

That Bob warman from ATV today and central news

[@Gallowaywind]

This is this the Second Version of UK price is right from 1989,

[@HarlemHyena]

3-digit Lucky Seven?! As for the Pick a Pair board, it's definitely busier than what we've got in the States, but it certainly beats the Ferris Wheel setup we started with!

[@TheEggplantThatAteChicago]

I love how it uses the classic American music, but it's bizarre hearing boat music for small appliances.

[@1ATV]

Bob Warman was also contracted to Central TV has presenter on Central news

[@antster1983]

Is he still there?

[@muhammadalieesaa3379]

Anthony Hobson Yes he's still doing ITV Central News, I watched ITV Central News 2 days ago & Bob Warman was news reporting. He's in his 70s now.

[@flowerofthesouth]

@@antster1983 He actually going to retire next month after 49 years on the job, He will present his last edition on 4th July.

[@TopMongkol]

I like it very much......I want you to post more clips of this program....if you can help me to post a clip....then I'll watch it....thank you very much.

[@ClapHurts]

Wow i am glad someone posted a full episode of Bob Version, Bob wasn't bad as a host its strange when Europeans use the American Version of the music they always mess it up

[@christinaharris5087]

I didn't know there was a star search in Australia we had that show on the us where I'm from it was aired from 1983 i don't know when it went off maybe 1991 or 1992 it was hosted by the great late ed McMahon

[@emilphoryew9436]

9 Karat Gold? WTF? Sounds like that show in UK is going through hard times!

[@bluebear1985]

Back then, I guess a lot of British game shows had pretty tight limits for how much they could give away. Those limits have since been lifted.

[@christinaharris5087]

4 models on the price is right Australia as for the us version it's 3 models on the us price is right but now today it's 2 models like it was when the price is right started on September 4 1972

[@boisegameshowguy]

Is it just me or does Sky not really bother with quiz shows anymore?

[@christinaharris5087]

Lucky seven is usually played for a car on the us version of the price is right

[@christinaharris5087]

They don't use the same beeping sound of the big wheel like the us version

[@billybishop1997]

I saw another person bid 2500 pounds on her showcase and she won. Just look in the other episode.

[@riley1049]

1:22 1972-2007 The Price is Right (US) theme

[@roysanders2080]

Wonderful at its best!!!

[@TheZotmeister]

This makes me realize how much of the U.S. TPiR is really focused on how excited the contestants get. This is actually hard to watch-they seem so… disinterested. That second contestant looked like she stuck her tongue out! Also, MAN, VCRs were expensive back in the day.

[@pem1974]

£219 for a VCR.? I don't think they cost that much on American Dollars back then! 🤣

[@phillipchav]

I seen bob twice

[@LogoMan7777]

Tony Blackburn would have made a good host of a UK Love Connection.

[@sophiee.h]

Bob Wallman's First episode

[@jamesbonnen]

Race game with no music is not the same.

[@cutemimi25]

You could always place the US Race Game music like I do :P

[@Musicradio77Network]

cutemimi25 Or the “Mission: Impossible” theme to go with it.

[@nextbarker2702]

Is this the only international version o TPIR to use the USA theme?

[@danbarker4857]

The SS amounts on the wheel are identical to the US except the 50 and 65 are reversed.

[@astridamongtheskies]

Err...did you mean 85 and 65? Those were the two amounts that were swapped.

[@nextbarker2702]

@@astridamongtheskies , Right 85 and 65, thanks

[@zacheryalderton6741]

Bob Warman where did you meet Diane bob tell Diane hello

[@christinaharris5087]

When did pick and pair debut on the price is right Australia on the us price is right i think it was 1982 or 1983 it was remodel in late 1989 or 1990 the first version was carnival fair theme the second version was up and down theme

[@christinaharris5087]

What are the models names on the Australia version on the us version the models names were from 1972 to 1976 anitra ford Janice pennington 1972 to 2000 dian parkinson 1975 to 1993 holly hallstrom 1977 to 1995 Kathleen bradley 1990 to 2000

[@kylebulger4240]

Wait I thought they gave away cars when playing Lucky Seven

[@gbhxu]

Don't suppose you've got The Young Doctors episode too?

[@billybishop1997]

Is this from the UK?

[@antster1983]

Yes it is. It was made for the fledgling satellite channel Sky One.

Geez - the third contestant is not likeable at all. Telling some people they know nothing, then prattling on about how useless she is in the supermarket.

[@plushbatfan]

"NO" Race Game Music?!

[@Musicradio77Network]

Why not add the “Mission: Impossible” theme to go with the “Race Game”.

[@zacheryalderton7721]

is BOB MARRIED

This is like a nightmare

[@ajk]

? really, I remember it from before not even being from UK

[@catholicpriest1]

This is amateur compared to the American version. The prizes are much cheaper too. The Lucky Seven prize in the States is always a car.

[@bluebear1985]

Bob Sewvello The prizes may have been cheaper, but considering the tight caps on prizes for British game shows, they really had no choice but to do this.

[@catholicpriest1]

Who imposed the cap?

[@bluebear1985]

Bob Sewvello The Independent Broadcasting Authority. They're an organization that regulates commercial television in the UK.

[@jamesbonnen]

+bluebear1985 Then how did they did they get the millionaire on in England

[@bluebear1985]

James Bonnen The caps had been removed by that point, I believe at some point in the 90s. One of the first shows to take advantage of it was "Bruce's Price is Right". On that show, you could possibly win a car in the earlier part of the show, and possibly win another one in the showcase round, something that would have been impossible to do a decade earlier.

[@jameshaywood878]

not as good as Lesley crowther, sorry bob.
