Pink Windmill 40th Anniversary Celebration
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- No-one would have believed you if you'd said on Friday, 13th July, 1984, that the events of that day would echo down the ages, but for 11 young individuals in particular - 10 dancers and one oddball with a VCR - it's certainly proven true. I still can't quite fathom how, one way or another, said televisual snippet has somehow made itself a giant great defining cornerstone in my existence all these later, but there you go. Life's full of surprises.
And so, four decades on, we commemorate what will forever be the most monumental musical extravaganza ever to take place on any 13th July in the mid-80s. Each one of the stars gets their own segment, and keep an eye out for a few clips of some of them 'in the wild' which you may or may not have seen before. My crippling self-doubt and I hope that I haven't made any misidentifications or other major blunders, and I'll leave it to you to have fun trying to figure out what's what.
Of course, if I'd had anything about me, I'd have come up with something like this to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the first ever Emu's World two-and-a-half years ago, but that's pretty much on brand for my organisational skills. Meanwhile, I'm making one last desperate attempt to find recordings of the Pink Windmill episodes we're missing before finally admitting defeat. If you want to help the cause, please watch this video:

We're still looking for recordings of ten Pink Windmill episodes - if you want to help the search, please watch (and share) this video: ruclips.net/video/NbBdkfEdGC0/видео.html
I’m 6 months late, can’t believe I missed this. I love this show and have been a fan for almost 5 years now, thank you for all of the episodes (and the archiving in general) and here’s hoping we can find those last few episodes someday 😅😅
You're very welcome indeed, and I can't tell you how glad I am that a new generation of fans are now enjoying the show. Here's hoping those last few turn up eventually!
I look at that last clip of all the Kids plus Rod and Emu, and I can only think… of all those people, only one of them never lived beyond 1999 to see how his creation became popular decades later and how future viewers would think of him and what he’s done for us to even be watching (and meme-ifying) the Pink Windmill in 2024 and beyond.
The Windmill remains open for anyone to spend a day there, I guess!
I privately celebrated the 40th anniversary of the All Live Pink Windmill Show. The Emu shows are and will forever be some of my favourite programmes ever though there will always be something extra special about the original ten All Live Pink Windmill Kids (taking nothing away from the kids before and after)
The original all live gang was what first sparked my interest in pwk. This video is great! Happy 40 years pwk!
So glad you're still active and putting out videos, I thought you'd stopped.
So glad you decided to mark the 40th anniversary.
I wonder if the gang are thinking of doing anything special like another reunion like they did for Co,ic relief 7 years ago. it's be great if they did wouldn't it? 😀
p.s the song choices for each person were PERFECT for everyone! Totally cackled my head off at Womanizer for Joe and Hey Big Spencer! ACE! he he he
Well, my four most recent uploads are my first Pink Windmill videos in quite a while, but I just couldn't let such a landmark pass unnoticed. I'm slowing down, but never stopping. ;-)
Glad you liked my choices - I don't think everyone gets my daft sense of humour! I'd love it if they could all get together once more for something, but sadly I think the moment's passed. Fun while it lasted, though.
The day has come. 40 years ago, history was made: Emu's All Live Pink Windmill Show. My roman empire..
One of my favourite shows ever, 42 and still makes me feel young....
Im currently watching eps at weekends with some younger eager eyed kids...
Rentaghost too...😊
Yeah, I know that feeling. If you can help the next generation to learn all the dances, then you're _really_ doing it right!
Thank you for curating this. So much talent. So much fun. Quite honestly, the best kids show of all time.
You're very welcome indeed - glad you enjoyed it! I tried to include a fair few clips that most viewers won't have seen before.
Perf song picks!! Love the video xx
That's really kind of you to say - glad you enjoyed it!
Happy 40 years of All Live. I’d say All Live S1, while short, was a fantastic season. It let all of the kids come into their own and shine in their own way. It was comical and lighthearted, and best part, we got two more live seasons out of it! ❤ What a wonderful tribute!
To think that they weren't certain it would work in this format, and it was all seen as a big risk to broadcast live with ten kids being a part of it. But every single one of them lived up to their duties and then went above and beyond. They _made_ it work, and then some more.
Beautifully done! Happy 40th anniversary to the most iconic series that started it all 🎉
Thank you - delighted you like it!
Ooooh this is amazing! I’ve like going through a trip to memory lane with your videos (as an ardent subscriber, yes I’ve been updated) and the Pink Windmill is still as awesome as ever. I’ll get to a longer review soon but know this is a lovely tribute and thanks for all the effort through those years.
Ah, I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for all that you've done, and your kind words.
Great montage! amazing. Hopefully with the anniversary we can find (some) lost episodes!
If we can spread this video far and wide: ruclips.net/video/NbBdkfEdGC0/видео.html
...that may be our best hope of finding any of the episodes we're missing. Hopefully some lost media community somewhere will pick it up or something.
No wonder I have no memory of this, I was just barely born when it started. :D
Well then _technically_ you were still privileged enough to live through the era-defining powerhouse that is Emu's All Live Pink Windmill Show. Count your blessings. ;-)
@@VideotapeFTW A shame that Rod, Emu and Grotbags weren't doing this in the very late 80's, early 90's, but hey I remember the animated series and Grotbag's spin off, so at least there's those. ;)
Yeah, those were good, but the best Rod and Emu material definitely came in the 70s and 80s. I think Emu's Wide World series 2 in 1987 was the last time the show was truly _great._
@@VideotapeFTW Fair enough. :)
@@VideotapeFTW I was born in 1988 but I do remember grotbags tv show
Ha! Love the song choice for Joe (to you!)
Well, as Benjamin Franklin once said, "Nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes, and Joe gets all the girls."
pink windmill 40th anniversary congratulations~😄

Could you tell me what the first song is? Thanks :)
