Phua Chu Kang's Helmet & Old Movie Tickets: 4 Items From Our Entertainment Past | On The Red Dot

A prop from an iconic local sitcom that holds special significance for the actress who kept it. An untorn movie ticket that tells the story of a movie buff’s clever ploy. Advertisement slides used in the cinemas that required skilful craftsmanship. A made-in-Singapore television set that lives on in the memories of those who have experienced it. These are the 4 items featured in this episode with entertainment as its theme. We find out how Fly Entertainment was born out of necessity at the height of Irene Ang’s fame as Rosie in PCK Pte Ltd. We marvel at Winston Chong’s ingenious ploy of sneaking into the cinema just to feed his obsession with collecting untorn movie tickets. We learn how Lim Shao Bin watched his parents produce lantern slides before the days of computers, where artwork had to be drawn and painted by hand. And for those of us who have watched something on the Setron TV, we reminisce with Alvin Tan who used to play with the knobs and buttons on the retro TV set as a child.
