These were followed at 7pm by Minties New Zealand's Funniest Home Videos (hosted by the late Kerry Smith), then a rerun of MacGyver (at 7.30pm). An award-winning 1984 film, The Silent One, was due to got to air at 7.30pm two weeks earlier (13 October) but was rescheduled to New Year's Eve 1991 and part one of a MacGyver episode, entitled "Lost Love", screened in its place as a late change by TVNZ. The conclusion of that episode was broadcast that night.

The Sunday Premiere Movie (at 8.30pm) was a 1984 comedy, Beverly Hills Cop; it stars Eddie Murphy as a smart-mouthed, freewheeling Detroit cop who goes to LA to track down the killer of an old friend. That film was first shown on TVNZ on the evening of Saturday 9 April 1988 (at 9.05pm on Network Two).
