Following the final of Pick-A-Box the previous week, the Seven Network launches Great Temptation, a prime-time spin-off of the daytime quiz show Temptation.

The Great Temptation, with Tony Barber and Barbara Rogers, originally screened weekly, then twice a week in 1972. From 1973 it was “stripped” Monday to Friday.
