Great song - used to record with Graeme at Mandrill around this time before heading off to HK in '82. Andrew dropped by late last year - working on some nice new stuff for a follow-up Another Life record! 😅

Now this is the RTR theme I remember hearing as a boy.

in 1982-3 i remember drawing art in class aged 7 then i heard this song the exact day it was winter i recall the words sierra leone clearly

The 80s were great!

Choice, takes me right back to my childhood in the 80s in Wiri 😊 Looks like Billie T James on the bass 😅

Just a awesome era of music & a great New Zealand 🇳🇿 show

Yessss😊thank you

I’m gasping😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Wow memories

Fucking gangsters

The week of 4-10 September 1983, if you wanna know.

Andrew Snoid😂

long summers, great music, good friends, great time in my life

Blue Monday by New Order was in the RTR top 20 for ages. It seemed like over a year.

Do you know what synthesizer they used?

I realize this is an ancient post but I remember these mesmerizing commercials too and being a big vangelis fan as well as Ridley Scott I wonder if there is a link somewhere…

Timeless treasure! .. thanks mate from Wgtn 🎵👍🇳🇿

For anyone who remembers the space ship titles, you can see it in this video ruclips.net/video/j6djeVi9ga4/видео.html Someone enterprising could take the titles excerpt and upload it :)

Very good insight into how long and tedious the work is when creating a song.

The actual airdate was 15 May 1983. Here's a schedule for TV One that night: 6.00 The Herd 6.25 Telethon Report 6.30 News 6.45 World Watch 7.00 An Evening with Walter Hautzig and the NZSO 7.45 Country Calendar 8.00 Hi-de-Hi! (Final) 8.30 The Woman in White (Part 3) 9.25 News 9.35 Newsmakers 10.05 Play of the Week: Criminal Conversation 11.05 News and Weather 11.10 Closedown

I’m trying to look for the “tonight on 2” sequence from this era. The one with the 2 logo and the stars moving in the background.

Amazing

Love Rod Stewart's hair

The days when high culture was on tv

Those were the days, remember it well

What a year of bangers!!! 1983 😄👍👌

My favourite show back in the 80s

Takes me back to my childhood...way better music in seventies and eighties...always remembered that tune...pity they cut this short , it's not the full version....

Irene Cara at #1.. what a feeling and what a song, it hasn't aged a day 😊 Back when pop stars needed actual talent. What was with our aversion to heavy music, though? I had to wait for Karyn Hay's somewhat derisory "metal special" to find my greatest love....

A love bite from one horse to another. I remember this ad from my youth. So romantic.

Any1 know what frequency to tune this into on VHF?

bring these days back!!!!!!!!!!!

My god the memories

Machine gun by the Commodores

Charts in New Zealand for May 29, 1983

Iconic theme 🙌🙌🙌

Just need some Prince Tui Teka and Hori & Hemi :-)

Remember the music, although not these particular graphics. First memories as a child were of one with a Tie Fighter-like graphic as part of the intro? Unless I was having a fever dream at 5 years old :/

Great upload. I was 8 for most of 1983 and i remember this show when i lived in New Zealand, looking back theres some decent music.

I went to the Avalon TV studio's and was part of the audience for a episode of RTR. What a treasured memory that is.

I remember this one- I was a sophomore in High school- I was 14 ? and I thought it was so romantic, classy and refined. I thought my god handsome princes do come on a horse ! Well- mine never showed up.

Haha even used the take a break line. Copy cats

Thanks for posting. Some great memories.

I would have watched that episode when it was originally broadcast. Wold have been about 9 years old

I had my first crush when this commercial was on during the 70's. The girl I liked had a small bottle of this perfume. My heart would flutter when I saw this commercial back then...it made me think of her.

RTR only changed its name to RTR Countdown in '87 when the supporting magazine started.

How wonderful this is Adam Reinstein.

Some of the songs were dumb. Dem were the days

Demz da days alright

Awesome! Never even knew this existed. Thanks for the share!
