Great Temptation
A Grundy Organisation production for Channel Seven Australia.
Initially titled New World Temptation, for the show's
sponsor, the title was later shortened to simply Temptation,
and was aired during the day.
When Pick-A-Box ended in 1971, an hour-long night-time
version of the show was launched, this is when the
"Great" was added.
The night-time show initially aired
once a week, then twice, then five times. All the while, the
day-time show was still running.
Contestants would compete in a beat-the-buzzer trivia
competition, with scores equalling dollars which they could then
use to buy gifts.
Australian Games Show king Tony Barber was the host with the
glamorous and sexy Barbie Rodgers (pictured at left) as his hostess.
The show folded when it could not compete with Number 96.
