I Was There 1960s - Entertainment
1960s - Entertainment: Television would open New Zealand to the world, while the world would come to New Zealand. Beatlemania would hit hard with the band themselves making it here in 1964, while our very own mop-haired ravers Ray Colombus and the Invaders penned their answer to Twist & Shout that same year. Kiri te Kanawa gets her big break on the Mobil Song Quest while John Rowles breaks into the UK Top 10. By 1966 we had our own music show, C’Mon, but the Government’s firm control over the Radio Waves would send the pirates out into the Hauraki Gulf to have their music played.
Join legendary TV presenters Dougal Stevenson, Jennie Goodwin, Judy Bailey and Tom Bradley in a brand new local series, I Was There showing every weeknight in June. Each episode is presented by one of our iconic Kiwi newsreaders and covers a new decade. From the 60s through to the 90s, as viewers are taken through the biggest moments in New Zealand history over four momentous periods of change. I Was There unearths footage from rare archives, and fresh interviews offer new perspectives on the moments that changed our nation, from national tragedies to sporting triumphs and cultural milestones - all from the people who lived them.
