I Was There 1970s - Entertainment
1970s - Entertainment: John Rowles introduced the decade with his best known contribution to our musical landscape, Cheryl Moana Marie, but he was soon eclipsed by the voices of the 70s, the protest singers like Jon Hanlon and Shona Laing, before the emergence of rockers like Hello Sailor, Th’ Dudes and Sharon O’Neill. But TV was the star, going colour in 1973, TV2 arriving in 1975, and childhood classics such as Play School, Spot On, Nice One Stu and Hey Hey It’s Andy – in the evening we sat down to our own fare, Pukemanu, Close to Home, and Fair Go.
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.
