I was also a school kid during the 80s, and this show reminds me of my grandmother who used to watch it during the day. I found it boring as hell then and I probably still would today too. LOL
Any one notice that Selwyn Toogood is wearing a "safari suit" ? Short sleeved smart casual , ie matching top and pants, usually in a drip dry crease proof fabric, were very popular for men in the 1970s, and into the early 80s as here. Its kind of a school teacher/real estate agent look for the weekend. Despite the chocolate colour, and the huge collar of Toogood's version, perhaps its time for a revival ? Granddad core ?(Lol)
This is from another era. No camera crane swooping around, no screen video wall behind them or lighting on the desk in front of them. The people speaking were the stars, not the set.
I remember the Australian version fondly but nothing seems to survive of the original series..anyway, Selwyn Toogood is a very good host. Almost too good.
Tui looks like Lady Diana, and Liz is like Joan what’s-her-name...(is it Rivers or Collins?) What are these ladies family names and where are they now? Selwyn was a national treasure! Throwback to the 80’s at my grans indeed!
I love how the panel is outraged by the suggestion some dude shouldn't smoke inside with his infant. You could send your 8yo to the dairy to buy your pack of ciggies back then, on their BMX with no helmet because they weren't a thing yet.
People didn't know the connection between smoking and damage to developing lungs. I had breathing difficulty growing up at his time, but my dads chronic smoking was the main factor.
You forgot to mention the kid on the bike wouldn't be in a hi-vis either, or have a GPS tracker chained to his ankle in case he got raped or kidnapped on his way to the dairy and back.

I remember this when I was very small and being devastated whenever I heard the music start because it meant my hopes of a cartoon where dashed. :D
haven't seen this in years. when ever I took a sickie off school I'd watch it with mum in the middle of the day.
Me to, I associate Selwyn Toogood BATB , Days of our lives and Young and the restless with having a day off school in the 1980's , Happy days indeed

They are all deceased, as is most of the audience, unfortunately.
all ghosts now.
@@bigglesharrumpher4139 That's a morbid thought, but given it was 38 years ago, you're probably right.
Oh my gosh I've got it! Beauty & The Beast! Wow!
