WHEN NICHOLAS RULED TV
You don't have to be an economist to
work out why Sale Of The Century was so
popular. Its success was due to simple
consumerism in an age when Ikea did not
exist.
The original began on NBC in the US in
1969 and ran in the UK from 1971-1984.
Three contestants had to decide whether
to buy cheap goods or wait and try to
win the main prize at the end. It was
hidden behind panel boards and could be
a caravan, car or even speedboat.
