Telethon was a widely popular 24-hour live television spectacular aimed at securing donations from viewers for a charitable cause. The feel-good vibe of Telethon was infectious, appealing to both adults, kids (who were allowed to stay up in front of the telly) and willing celebs. This selection covers highlights from the 1981 Wellington Telethon (for International Year of the Disabled). Bob Parker, Selwyn Toogood, Ian Johnstone and host Peter Sinclair get goofy amongst smurfs, bagpipes, and talking belly-buttons. "Thank you very much for your kind donation!"

Hi i am trying to get a video of the cook island group from Bairds intermediate school,that perform when that guy from the America series (Chips) was a guest. I'm not sure of the year i'm guessing 1981-1982 but i knew puncuali was there,I got shy every time i felt he was looking at me, lol, I don't know how to spell it but i will right it how it sounds. (Puncuali). He was my first (crusher) and i loved him. Thinking about it makes it all sound alittle silly but thats how it was way back then I would have 11-12 years. I am 40years old and a Moari girl in the Island group,my dad said that the carmera was on me for at least 3 seconds, My children and i would really like see it. Thank you
Can we have the clip where Basil Brush is bantering with Kenny Everett (as Sid Snot), and Kenny bops Basil on the head with a microphone?

I think the character from CHIPS was called PONCHERELLO and was played by Erik Estrada
