It's in the Bag was a travelling television quiz show, fronted by Selwyn Toogood. Competitors were selected from the audience and had to answer three questions before they could select a bag and bargain for its contents. Toogood's catchphrases, such as, "by hokey!" and, "what'll it be customers, the money or the bag?", have become part of folklore. This 1st June, 1974 episode was telecast from Dunedin's Mayfair Theatre; a Fridgidaire ("jet-o-matic") Home Laundry and Pye hi-fi system are on offer amongst the booby prizes. Heather Eggleton is the glam bag lady.

My Mum use to own Selwyn Toogoods 1963 Chrysler Valiant AP5 in the early 70s
Go mum go!!!
So odd to see Heather on TV after all this time.
Would anyone know when IITB screen in Whakatane. I think on early 80's????
TVNZ6 have been playing reruns of the show from the 70's through to Hawkesby's last series in 1990. I suspect that there must be some editions missing as not all of the 1970's shows have been replayed and not all of Hawkesby's first series (1986) have been replayed either.
There were usually two series per year, however there was only one in 1986 and 1990 respectively.

Why didn't they give Heather a paper-knife to open the envelope?
