Who remembers the old kids TV show... Button On Button Off ...??

I do! It was presented by Irene Wood, which was a name I noticed! I remember sending in for a Button On Button Off badge and then it got washed in the washing machine in the pocket of my shorts and was never the same again. It's not a title we've had any user requests for before, and I don't know if any of it still exists at the TVNZ Archive, but if there's interest in it we could have a check...

I remember Button on Button Off. We went to see the hosts live in Auckland but were turned away as the place was full

Irene Wood mentioned "Button On Button Off" in her recent interview on Afternoons With Jim Mora: http://www.radionz.co.nz/national/programmes/afternoons/audio/2502008/eight-months-to-mars-irene-wood

Thanks Jeremy - we will check out whether any Button On Button Off has been kept in our next research with the TVNZ Archive.

Yes, that's right, the badges were blue and white! We're currently in the process of finding out if the TVNZ Archive still has any episodes or part episodes of the show.

I remember applying, and waiting anxiously for my 'button on-button off' badge when I was at primary school in Rangiora many years ago, and never receiving it! I can clearly recall a classmate at that time wearing her badge pinned to her jersey to school, with a fair amount of jealousy and feeling of injustice that mine had never arrived in the post!!! I may be wrong, but I remember one badge having a brown background with white lettering..?? I would pay handsomely for one, even now... ;-)

I remember getting to see them at the old Auckland Building Centre and it was crowded!
Also discovering they were Blue!!!!
I had a crush on Irene Wood too.

Very much enjoying this thread of comments - but I'm afraid I now have to report that we have checked with the TVNZ Archive and there is no Button On, Button Off material in existence. What a shame...
