Emu's World S3E3 (1983) - FULL EPISODE

  • Rod decides to try to give Emu a bath, while Grotbags realises she's in trouble with her union when she gets a visit from the Magnificent Fred. How will she try to redeem herself?
    The Pink Windmill Kids chime in with renditions of Heart (from the musical Damn Yankees) and Discovery (originally by the New Mickey Mouse Club). I previously labelled this as the second episode in the series, but new evidence (i.e. another tape with all episodes recorded one after the other) suggests that this was actually broadcast third on Wednesday, 16th March, 1983.
    (Please remember that this is an old VHS recording, so don't go expecting 1080p HD quality. I'm fairly certain that this video isn't commercially available, and I've uploaded it for its historic interest only. That said, if you are a copyright holder and object, please don't hesitate to contact me.)

      I was born in 1980 so was probably 4 or 5 years old when I was watching this, I just seem to remember it being on fridays.
      Just noticed this episode was 1983, So I was even younger when this one aired.

      As far as I know, five series between 1984 and 1987 were broadcast on a Friday, from the fifth series of Emu's World through to the first Emu's Wide World, and all the live ones in between.

      Gotta admit, a lot of kids I remember used to hate their guts, especially the ones from the early series. They hated the Pink Windmill Kids' over saturated manners, the song-and-dance routines they'd randomly break into, and what came across as a bit of an unnervingly inhuman hivemind of perpetually cheery kids.

    Does anybody know where the "Discovery" song came from originally? Was it from a musical or did they make it up themselves?

    • @VideotapeFTW

      It's from the New Mickey Mouse Club: ua-cam.com/video/956YfsFEAcI/v-deo.html
      (I think the Pink Windmill Kids win that particular dance-off quite comfortably.)

      If there's one thing I think we've all learned from watching Emu's World, it's the value of surveys and elementary property ownership law. It's been said before.

    6: 30 "This is only 40 centimetres wide and... this is a metre." A little pause there as Rod realises that the props department is struggling with metrification.
    I actually snorted when Croc called Grotbags 'Your Royal Mail'.

    • @VideotapeFTW
      @VideotapeFTW  7 років тому

      Nah - it's "a meter", as in, "I've come to read your meter." It's a visual pun. :-)

      Not at all! A lot of these jokes and references don't translate to today's audience. I think the shows are still enjoyable as a whole, though.

      It's the sort of show that a lot of people loved, a lot of people hated, and a lot of people loved to hate (if you see what I mean). Nevertheless, it was one of the biggest kids' programmes of the 80s - so give a few episode a try if you have the time. :-)

    • @VideotapeFTW
      @VideotapeFTW  8 років тому +2

      Yes, the name changed depending on the format. When it was 20 minutes long, it was Emu's World (like this one); when it was 45 minutes long, it was Emu's Wide World (e.g. ua-cam.com/video/VrvW7y-8zj4/v-deo.html); and in between when they broadcast live, it was the Pink Windmill Show (e.g. ua-cam.com/video/Dh9tvmnD5Cs/v-deo.html). So don't worry - you're not going mad!

      Catrina and Joe both did a fair bit of television back in the 80s and 90s. Quite a few others appeared in things like ads or had small parts in films, dramas or soaps, while many more had careers focused on the stage rather than the screen. Other common jobs include modelling and dance or fitness training. Perhaps the biggest 'showbiz' success story of all the Pink Windmill Kids is Nicholas Pinnock (ua-cam.com/video/7oL6VT0gI5g/v-deo.html) - in recent years he's been in Fortitude and Marcella, and played Nelson Mandela himself in a high-profile TV movie.
