- My appearance on New Zealand's version of Wheel Of Fortune, about 1991.
I won four major prizes and was reigning champion four nights in a row.
Until recently I still had the rimu dining suite!

HAD A GREAT TIME
Oh boy. we gonna watching Wheel of Fortune @ New Zealand these days.
You did a fine job, Peter. Congratulations on your winnings. Greetings from the United States and a huge Wheel of Fortune buff.
Юю!!
Бьь
Where are you these days Peter? I remember watching this as 9 year old on live tv
I love how the puzzle board lights keep flashing during the game. The US version didn't do that.
This is so charming..
I love Wheel Of Fortune! Shame it's not on still.
Same ere in Australia, that and The Price Is Right. Peter did good in this game :)
You guys had Living Thing as a category before we did...wow.
The NZ of Wheel was near-identical to our version of Wheel here in Australia, and i must say after watching this, you had some very interesting prizes on your version - Makes the prizes our version of 'Wheel' gave away look very cheap and basic in comparison!
I still have a couple of them too - the stepladder and the sleeping bags. And we recently sold the rimu dining suite for $200, not bad for a table that'd seen 27 years use!
the prizes in the NZ version seemed to resemble a lot of what we saw here in the USA on the Daytime version)at least while it was on NBC. When it moved to CBS in July of '89, the prizes got better)
I'm guessing that this Wheel was also a product of Grundy Productions as well, seeing as it has identical music and near identical sound effects as the Australian show which was still running concurrently at the time. Even the set layout and wheel design look almost the same.
It appears so close in presentation to John Burgess' version from his becoming host in 1984 to the redesign in mid 1992, so i wouldn't be surprised if both were produced with some degree of overlap there.
Sure was. In fact Gavin Wood one of the producers of New Zealand Wheel was involved in the 1996 revamp of the Australian Wheel. Some of the things that came with the revamp had already been used by the New Zealand Wheel - like the blue space on the podium and also the Free Spin becoming an extra feature on a dollar wedge. New Zealand was also using the $500, $1000 and $2000 top dollar amounts for a couple of years already before we adopted them in 1995.
Wheel of Fortune in New Zealand will return this year of 2023
Excellent Video, I find this game cool, glad you had a nice run on New Zealand Wheel of Fortune.
The New Zealand version is almost identical, including the puzzleboard itself, to the original American version hosted by Chuck Woolery (before Pat Sajak)...
I remember him from the Love Connection in the 1980s!
He also did another phenomenal game show here called "Scrabble".
Have you ever thought of travelling to other English-speaking countries and doing a Wheel of Fortune world tour? If Wheel of Fortune ever did a tournament of champions, regardless of nationality, I think you'd be a shoe-in to participate...
Haha, no I haven't considered that Kevin. Perhaps you'd like to act as my agent and set that up? ;)
I wish I could Peter. lol I got out of the media about 10 years ago, so I have no pull.
Good looking back at these classic shows u did excellent Peter.Like life bit of luck here and there moments don't think many or any in the history of Wheel Of Fortune in the World would of made it 5 days.How was all the preparation goes in to a game show u did Rip to Phil how was he a legend broadcaster and Lana was a honey also too bad u didn't have the Ads has that vibe in those times
NZ$19k for a Festiva!? Jeez! They retailed for only around $7-8k in the US at the same time.
3:55 Very interesting that at least on this version or era, they let you double-clutch the wheel! I can't see that happening on today's US version.
Perhaps the wheel in the American version is easier to spin with one hand? Not so much on this one, that's just my guess
Awesomeness video
The bankrupt sound in this version is not a slide whistle.
This is like the Dollar General of the Wheel of Furtune USA style lol
6:24 Actually laughed out loud at the reveal of the prize display. It looks like the inside of a storage unit, just awful!
man, that denim jirt of yours
in my defence, in New Zealand in 1991 it was pretty much still the 80s!
Late starts or not it’s entertaining.
id love to win something, anything
Hey Peter, did you ever install that moon roof kit?
I guess not Benny, I don't actually recall winning it!
I coulda swore that was one you picked.
That was Aidan who won that, not Peter
peter do u have the episode with Joe Nawalaniec
No, I just have this collection of the ones I appeared in, cos my Dad taped them and played them every Xmas
Why does Australia and NZ spin the wheel twice during these times?
Hmm, I remember it being quite heavy so it probably needed two pulls to get a decent spin
@@warpart Interesting you mention that. The US Wheel is about 2 tons in weight, but they show you the proper way to spin it. Was that the case for you before the show?
@@joshandallo2170 I think so, but it was a long time ago 🙂
1:13:06 I had that same reaction while watching this
Good grief! The way those shopping prizes are presented looks like an overcrowede garage, a virtual pig sty!
the yellow player double spins cuz she cant do it i one spin
Cool song 1:41:49
Wow the prices and prizes are kind of crappy.
Small country, less money
