This beloved traveling quiz show started on radio in 1954 with the late Selwyn Toogood, who had hosted it for 11 years and produced approximately 600 episodes. A television adaptation was developed in 1973 and it became a staple of the screen a year later, with the inaugural episode of _It’s in the Bag_ as a TV show recorded at the Dunedin Town Hall. It premiered on NZBC TV at 7.47pm on the evening of Saturday 11 May 1974. Over its successful six-year run, a total of 132 episodes were produced and _It’s in the Bag_ travelled to 45 towns throughout the country. The final episode - from the Dunedin Town Hall (where the series originally began) - was shown live to air on TV One (now TVNZ 1) at 7.30pm on the evening of Tuesday 8 May 1979 and lasted a full hour. Throughout its tenure _It’s in the Bag_ had raised over $1 million for charities across New Zealand. Notably, the television version was broadcast in venues that the radio version had previously helped fund. The show made a triumphant return to New Zealand television in 1985 with a one-off special celebrating 25 years of television. Selwyn Toogood once again hosted this hour-long special, which was recorded at the Regent Theatre in Dunedin and shown on TV2 (now TVNZ 2) at 8.30pm on the evening of Monday 10 June 198,5 with Tineke Stephenson - who co-hosted the show from 1975 to 1978 - serving as hostess. When _It’s in the Bag_ resumed as a regular series the next year, Toogood passed the hosting duties over to John Hawkesby, who was accompanied by Hilary Timmins as hostess. This revival debuted on TV One at 8pm on the evening of Monday 4 August 1986 and continued for five years until its conclusion in May 1990, with the premiere episode being recorded in Palmerston North. * * * **Today’s TV: Monday 8 May 1989** from the _NZ Listener_ and _The Press_ **TV One** 9.50am Teletext in Vision 10.05 Aerobics Oz Style (Rpt) 10.35 Play School (Rpt) 11.00 Rainbow (Rpt) 11.15 The Smurfs (Rpt) 11.40 Towser 11.45 Kōhanga Reo (Rpt) 11.55 Te Karere Headlines Noon Network News at Noon 12.15 Santa Barbara 1.10 Days of Our Lives 2.10 It Ain’t Half Hot Mum (Rpt) 2.50 Coronation Street (Double episode) (Rpt) _A repeat screening of last Thursday and Friday’s programmes_ 3.45 Albion Market 4.15 In Loving Memory 4.45 Emmerdale Farm 5.15 Te Karere 5.25 Sons and Daughters 6.00 Network News at Six 6.30 Holmes 7.00 Our World - Atlantic Realm (Final) 8.00 Floodtide 9.00 Public Eye 9.30 EyeWitness News 10.00 Falcon Crest 10.55 Australian Rugby League 11.55 Closedown **Network Two** 10.45am Teletext in Vision 11.00 The Young and the Restless Noon Love Connection 12.25 The Duck Factory 12.55 The Love Boat (Rpt) 1.55 Three’s Company (Rpt) 2.15 After 2, including (all times approx): _2.16 Play School 2.40 Jim Henson’s Mother Goose Stories 2.50 The Care Bears Family (Rpt) 3.15 Storybook Classics_ 3.45 Live!, including (all times approx): _3.50 Danger Mouse (Rpt) 4.05 A Little Princess (Part 6, final) 4.40 RTR Megamix_ 5.15 Throb 5.40 Newsbreak and Regional Programmes _Top Half (Auckland) Today Tonight (Wellington) The Mainland Touch (Christchurch) The South Tonight (Dunedin)_ 6.00 M-A-S-H (Rpt) 6.30 Neighbours 7.00 Sale of the Century 7.30 EastEnders 8.00 Family Ties 8.30 China Beach 9.30 The Twilight Zone 10.30 Newsbreak _Includes Māori news summary (with English subtitles)_ 10.35 Entertainment This Week 11.30 Downtown 12.30am Closedown ---

It was created by TVNZ producer Rex Simpson, who left the state broadcaster in 1988 to establish a children’s department for TV3, New Zealand’s first private television network. TV3 began broadcasting on the evening of Sunday 26 November 1989 with a ‘grand preview’. _What Now_ was originally a half hour show and screened on TV One (now TVNZ 1) at 10am on a Saturday morning. The initial cast during the first year included Steve Hooper and four intermediate school aged children: Merryn, Richard, Oliver and Lucy, along with Murdoch the dog. Rex Simpson explained that the core concept of _What Now_ was to promote healthy leisure habits. The programme was inspired by the format of his earlier children’s show, _How’s That?_, which introduced children to fun and educational activities and had been hosted by Stu Dennison (formerly of _Nice One_) in 1979. In the scripted segments Steve and the children interacted within a clubhouse set (recorded at TVNZ’s Christchurch studios). These scenes were mixed with pre-recorded games and activity ideas, as well as comedic sketches featuring Murray Slack. Initially portrayed by Jon Gadsby (of _McPhail & Gadsby_), the role of Slack was taken over by Tony Wahren a year later. Today _What Now_ holds the distinction of being the longest running children’s programme on New Zealand television. * * * **Today’s TV: Thursday 9 May 1991** from the _NZ Listener_ **TV One** 10.15am Teletext in Vision 10.30 Classics on One - Father’s Doing Fine (1952) (Rpt, G) Noon No Place Like Home (Rpt, PGR) 12.35 Film on One - Catherine (1987) (AO) 2.10 Matinee on One - Raise the Titanic (1980) (Rpt, PGR) 4.15 The Mary Tyler Moore Show (Rpt, G) 4.45 Emmerdale (G) 5.15 Te Karere 5.25 Me and My Girl (Rpt, G) 6.00 One Network News 6.30 Holmes 7.00 Sale of the Century (G) 7.30 Coronation Street (G) 8.00 The Bill (PGR) 8.30 Foreign Correpondent 9.35 More Issues (PGR) 10.05 One Network News 10.35 After the War (Part 4) (AO) 11.40 Butterflies (Rpt, PGR) 12.20am Closedown **Channel 2** 6.15am Teletext in Vision 6.30 Gumby Adventures (Rpt, G) 7.00 ITN World News 7.25 Casper and Friends (G) 8.00 ITN World News (Rpt) _A repeat screening of the 7am bulletin_ 8.25 Precious Pupp (Rpt, G) 8.40 Sesame Street (Rpt, G) 9.35 Play School (Rpt, G) 10.05 Aerobics Oz Style (G) 10.30 Neighbours (Rpt, G) 11.05 Santa Barbara (G) Noon The Young and the Restless (G) 1.00 Days of Our Lives (G) 2.00 Bewitched (Rpt, G) 2.30 After 2, including: _2.33 Play School (Rpt, G) 3.00 Charlie Chalk (Rpt, G) 3.15 What-a-Mess (G) 3.30 Snorks (Rpt, G)_ 4.00 Captain Planet and the Planeteers (G) 4.30 COPS (Rpt, G) 5.00 The Bugs Bunny Show (G) 5.30 Wheel of Fortune (G) 6.00 Blind Date (G) 6.30 M-A-S-H (Rpt, G) 7.00 Neighbours (G) 7.30 Totally Hidden Video (G) 8.00 Who’s the Boss?

Set in a Wellington suburb and formatted as two half hour episodes per week in a style similar to _Coronation Street_, _Close to Home_ originally focused on the challenges faced by the Hearte family. Don Hearte (played by Tony Currie) and his wife Val (Helen Brew) had their three youngest children living at home. Their 19-year-old daughter Lyndsey (Sarah Delahunty) was training to be a nurse; 17-year-old Alan (Ian Gilmour), an apprentice electrician, dreamed of becoming a musician; and 15-year-old Caroline (Katie Brockie) was still attending school. Other members of the Hearte family lived nearby. Tom (John Bach) and his wife Vivian (Ilona Rodgers) lived just around the corner while the eldest daughter, Jane (Janice Finn), followed her mother’s tradition of having a large family. She and her husband Alex Fleming (Bill Stalker) had four children: Chris, Nicola, John and baby Katie. Don’s sister, Dot Paget (Glenis Levestam), was busy caring for their father, Don Sr (Charles Walker), also known as Pop, as well as looking after her son Stephen (Anthony Ward) and her husband Ken (Harry Lavington). Pop was in poor health at the time and retirement was proving difficult for him, much like it would later be for Don. He was aging with little grace. Don and Val lived in a large house with a couple of attached flats. Val’s sister, Christine Lorvatz (Heather Lindsay), occupied one flat while Don’s oldest friend, Pete Wallace (Robin Dene), lived in the other, maintaining a cheerful but chaotic household. Life initially appeared fairly stable. Don worked as a sports journalist for the local newspaper and Val was effectively managing a family construction business. Rehearsals were held in a community hall in Avalon, located in the Hutt Valley about 20 minutes from Wellington’s city centre. The serial was recorded at the newly built Avalon Television Centre which was officially opened by the NZBC in March 1975 - just before the NZBC split into three separate corporations: Radio New Zealand (RNZ), Television One and Television Two. When TV One opened transmission for the first time on the afternoon of Tuesday 1 April that year, its headquarters were established at Avalon. Studio 8, one of the largest studios at Avalon with a floor area of approximately 600m², featured sets arranged around the studio representing rooms in various characters’ homes as well as the bar of the local hotel. Although the frequent bar scenes drew criticism, it was the only location besides private homes in which scenes could be recorded without going on location (which was rarely done). At its height in 1977, _Close to Home_ attracted nearly one million viewers twice each week. The serial was co-created by Michael Anthony Noonan and Tony Isaac, who initially agreed to produce it only after securing approval for _The Governor_, a six-part series about Sir George Grey’s exploits. This beloved family saga established a consistent place for local drama on television and helped develop the talents of New Zealand actors and production crews through the demands of regular production. When _Close to Home_ began it was shown at 7pm on a Monday and Tuesday evening. In 1982 the serial was moved to 7.30pm on the same nights - a slot it maintained until the screening of the final episode on the evening of Tuesday 30 August 1983. Over eight successful years, a total of 818 episodes were produced.

The event, which reached an audience in 100 countries, showcased performances from such artists as Sting, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Diana Ross, Joni Mitchell, REM and Kenny Loggins, among others. Hal Uplinger produced the concert and Tony Verna directed it - both of whom were also involved with Live Aid. Broadcast live via satellite from Avery Fisher Hall (now David Geffen Hall) at Lincoln Center on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City, the programme featured a combination of musical performances and pro-environmental messages, drawing parallels to Live Aid. However, it differed by not being a fundraising event and having a more staged atmosphere rather than the spontaneity typical of live concerts. The audience primarily consisted of invited guests and numerous performances were pre-recorded. Despite the extensive global reach and impressive line-up, some critics remarked that the concert featured fewer big-name artists compared to Live Aid and lacked a sense of unity. In New Zealand, according to _The Press_, _Our Common Future_ was initially scheduled to screen on Network Two (now TVNZ 2) at 6am that morning. However, the concert itself actually started five minutes earlier than its published start time, i.e. 5.55am.
