The Ralston Group - 8 August 1991
Television (Full Length Episode) – 1991
This episode of the early 90s political chat show sees ringmaster Bill Ralston, lawyer Trevor de Cleene, RNZ political editor Richard Griffin, North & South editor Robyn Langwell and broadcaster Leighton Smith vigorously debating parliamentary filibusters; whether Kiwis are sexual puritans (in the wake of Nightline’s notorious '69-in-60' sex position broadcast); and whether NZ youth is a generation lost to sex, suicide and car crashes. Ralston argues “the wowsers are winning again”; Langwell correctly predicts the end of paper The Star, and Smith predicts a Wallabies win on Saturday.
Sixty-nine positions in 60 seconds: now it sounds like the National Party caucus, but I'm talking sex!– Bill Ralston introduces a segment on Nightline's controversial screening of a sex positions reel
