My mother recently passed and she had a great run on the classic tv game show Sale of the Century back in 1996.

I have looked around YouTube and other online sources with no luck to find the eps.

Our house burned down within a year of her being on the show, so we lost the original VHS we taped along with most of the prizes (including a fire proof safe if you'd believe it haha)

I know it's a long shot, but anyone have any recordings of the show from that era?

Mum was on 18-21June 1996 - she won 3 nights in a row and lost on the fourth.

I have found the old Grundy paperwork while cleaning out her estate - that's how I found the exact dates!

Lucky enough, I also found the classic diamond encrusted Sale of the Century pin every winner took home.

Fully appreciate this is a wild long-shot - but it can't hurt.

I would be so happy to see her in her element as trivia queen again...
