- Thank you very much for your kind donation.... TV2, then Network Two's 1988 Telethon to raise money for anti-violence campaigns. This is from a time when Telethon was a more local production so is mostly footage from Christchurch with updates/events from other regions from time to time. Telethon Christchurch has a star studded line up, including Entertainment Tonight's Leeza Gibbons and Coronation Street's Christopher Quinton Local celebrities include broadcaster Ken Ellis, What Now presenters Michelle A'Court and Frank Flash (appearing under his real name Alasdair Kincaid) The Wizard, David McPhail and many, many more!
Special thanks and credit to @duckstalgia for the full Telethon song used in the final montage. - Розваги
Along with Ken Ellis, Michele A'Court, Alasdair Kincaid (formerly known as Frank Flash from "What Now"), The Wizard and David McPhail, other personalities appearing in the 1988 Telethon included John Hawkesby, Angela D'Audney (both Hamilton), Barry Holland (Gisborne), Bob Parker, Roger Gascoigne (both Palmerston North), Geoff Bryan (Wellington), Mike Bodnar (Nelson), Liz Grant, Rodney Bryant, Peter Llewellyn (all Christchurch), Hilary Muir, Peter Hayden (both Dunedin) and John "Boggy" McDowell (Invercargill).
Natalie Brunt and Judy Bailey were the national frontpeople and hosted that year's Telethon from, which included the live Lotto draw at 8pm with Doug Harvey hosting the draw from the Auckland Town Hall, i.e. the same venue as the Auckland Telethon.
Thanks for the fantastic info, Patrick. :)
@@KiwiRetro You're welcome. The 1988 Telethon, in fact, aired on Network Two (now TVNZ 2) at 7.30pm on the evening of Saturday 25 June 1988 and ran for 24 hours... with an extra five minutes as it finished at 7.35pm, according to the NZ Listener!
Patrick, I love you! You’re full of great TV information. I could talk with you for hours.
New Zealand in the 80s was such a wonderful place to live. I miss it so much.
those times were better
None of the nonsense we have to put up with today with the kids being taught that pedophiles and rapists live in every second house. And you could easily get peoples phone numbers and contact info from their companies because back then the anally retarded privacy loonies hadn't taken over. Back then we did something unheard of today, we actually helped each other.
No hi-vis vests and yet the work got done just as safely as today. No mountain of paperwork required to make sure you are work safe compliant just to complete the simplest physical work.
Oh and back then we smacked the kids (and were smacked) which is why we don't have all the social problems of today because the antisocial behavior was beaten out of us before it took root and became habitual.
It was the best!!!!!❤
😮 I was form two at intermediate 1988. This brings back memories staying up all night ❤
I can remember watching the 1988 Telethon and seeing mostly the Dunedin and Invercargill Telethon, we were on our way home to Southland from Oamaru that weekend so popped into the Dunedin Town Hall for an hour to watch the Telethon. I remember meeting Tom Bradley the TV1 newsreader and Gail from Coronation Street.
In addition to Leeza Gibbons (from Coronation Street) and Christopher Quinten (better known as the dearly departed Brian Tilsley from Coronation Street), other international celebrities appearing at the 1988 Telethon included Blair Underwood (LA Law), Alix Elias (Hooperman), Estelle Getty (The Golden Girls), Mike Smith (The Late Late Breakfast Show), Max Gail (Barney Miller), Antonia Murphy (Sons and Daughters"), Kim Lewis ("Sons and Daughters), Susan Tully (EastEnders), Letitia Dean (EastEnders), Su Pollard (Hi-de-Hi!), Helen Worth (Coronation Street), Ian Rawlings (Sons and Daughters) and New Zealand's own Pat Evison (The Flying Doctors) to name just a few. David Rasche (Sledge Hammer!) and Corbin Bernsen (LA Law) were due to appear at that year's Telethon but it never happened... I think.
hahahaha, WTF, Lisa Gibbons from Coronation Street. Try googling her mate.
lisa gibbons... entertainment tonight presenter
My partner was in a band at the time called "the naked truth" who appeared on the itv telethon if anyone has any footage please?!
22:17 I have a question to ask. Who was the announcer, i.e. an Arkwright lookalike, whose voice was heard at the start of the live Lotto draws during 1988.
My sister and niece were interviewed on telethon in 1988. My niece had oesophageal atresia. They have both since died. I am trying to get hold of this interview for my surviving niece; can you help please
I only have these 3 hours, if I find any more it will be going up here. Sorry for your loss.
Hah I was 15 but my biggest memory was of Chris and Leeza going hard with a full on pash.
I was 18. Are you falling apart and getting fat like me?
♥️🙏🏾☝🏾
😊
Do you have the Treasure Hunt special of the Telethon 88?
Beautiful honey by
Are you going to upload part 2?
Unfortunately this is the only part I had. I found the tape at an op shop some time ago and I think it may have been part of a set, looks like whoever recorded it intended to get the lot but I only found the one tape.
Is New Zealand so devoid of entertainers that it needs to ship in these D listers ? 🥺 🤔 😳 🙄
It was 36 years ago, all of these people were well known in NZ at the time.. I guess the A listers you were thinking of didn't feel like flying for 14+ hours
