More old-school TV
I'm still without convenient internet access, so this is a post I prepared earlier, just like on those cooking shows.
The copyright-infringing intertubes runneth over! Someone's been going through their VHS tapes and uploading choice clips to YouTube:
- What Now with Simon Barnett, from about 1990
- An interview with Waverley. (About 2:00 in, you can see Nick Harrison running up the stairs looking just like my compatriot Barnes.)
- The famous
You're not in Guatemala now, Dr Ropata
- Back when TV used to stop broadcasting overnight, there was the Goodnight Kiwi.
I'd be interested if anyone finds the early-morning clips from way back, like TV One's national anthem thing or TV3's original one with Russell Rooster and Kerry Kea.

OMG. Goodnight Kiwi. How oldschool is that!
Also, you're telling me I look like someone from Shortland Street? your on dangerous ground there, my friend. (even if there IS something of a resemblance).
Also, that guy is from that crap band, that I cant remember the name of at the moment, which makes it worse...

That's awesome. Thanks for posting those. They really need to bring back old school style What Now!

skarnz: Are you talking about the spiky blond punk from Rubicon? I think he came somewhat later...

I do remember that random pub in Cambridge -- I don't think I have any photos of it, though!

I checked, and I only have a couple of photos from that Cambridge visit (when we had a shower in our room). What a shame the Kiwi was re-painted!
