 A similar carnival-style wheel was used in the original 1973 "Wheel" pilot ("Shopper's Bazaar"), although that wheel was operated by a motor.A further (and far more explicit) connection arrived in 1981, when Grundy debuted his adaptation of Griffin's "Wheel" which (like its American counterpart) also had a very long and successful run on the Seven Network until 2006.A short-lived remake and revival called "Million Dollar Wheel of Fortune" hosted by Tim Campbell and Kelly Landry ran on the Nine Network for a brief period in 2008.
