I heard on the television that a viewer in my home town win a viewer prize on The Great Temptation. I was familiar with the surname locally and it mentioned my home town. It escaped me as to the exact individual was, but a kid from that family said a few years later that a relation of his won such a prize but never received it.

Ah yes, Tony "Temptation" Barber and Barbie Rogers. If I remember correctly there were two of these shows, one in the afternoon and one in the evening that differed slightly in format. Thanks for posting.

That sounds about right. The story was that Reg Grundy paid the American owner the rights after he threatened to sue him for plagiarism. After that, Sale of the Century returned to America under Grundy's production company and using the Australian format.

Ah, I was waiting to see a clip of "Great Temptation" based on the game show in the U.S. at the time called "Sale of the Century".

Yes...correct me if I'm wrong, but I understood Reg Grundy licensed the SALE OF THE CENTURY name and format from its American owner, made it a hit Down Under, then brought it back to the U.S. (where it ran six years, longer than the original version).

Well, basically yes. I think the original folded or went into indefinite mothballs and they recast the almost exact same format under a new moniker in, I think, 1980.
