I've got a soft spot in my cold, metal heart for international versions of wheel. Especially Wheel Australia, it's the best international version of wheel in my opinion. For the longest time, I thought John Burgess was the first host of wheel australia, but after watching Game Show Gumbo rank the hosts of that variant of wheel, and watching an episode of Ernie Sigley-Era wheel, I now want to see more of Ernie's run.
Anyone know where I can find some more of these 1981-1984 episodes? I need to feed this hyperfixation before I go feral-

Not many Sigley-hosted Wheel of Fortune episodes are known to survive, but YouTube does have a complete one:

That's the one I watched. Sucks that a lot of Ernie's run's lost to time. I kinda like him.

reminds me of the state of Woolery Wheel, especially from the earliest years

Clip of a 1983 episode (Anthony/Adrian/Jackie):
Clips of another 1983 episode (Lois/Clare/Gary; now has the rectangular nametags):
Most of a 1984 episode (Marion/Ian/Tina; now has the sunburst player backdrops):
These and the episode Coug linked to are the only Sigley-era footage I know to be around.
