This was required viewing on a Sunday teatime. Bob was the only man who could present this. TV Gold. Thank you so much for posting. This is going to sound daft but when Bob said 'Who's calling The Golden Shot?' I actually cried.

Such a utter joy to see this again - So many happy memories. Bob was such a gentleman, a great entertainer, and hugely smart and kind too. Longing for those innocent days, and people with decency and morals, unlike today's utter degeneration. Those were the days!

The Trimphone Bob uses in this was actually Golden...at this point the Post Office were trialing potential new phone colours for the 70s ..Polished and Satin Gold were both in the range but sadly were never adopted.

This must be the only time in British television history that a news flash (a sudden, urgent and brief news report) was made during a show by its host and not by the BBC or ITV news teams, either in a commercial break or by interrupting a programme. ITN (Independent Television News) and ITV (the governing body of the separate Independent Television regions) obviously trusted mighty game show host and comedian Bob Monkhouse to address the nation in his typical reasssuring fashion.

@johnking5174

No, ITN News aired a short news flash before The Golden Shot aired. The Golden Shot aired on Sunday afternoons, and ITV first news bulletin on a Sunday was not until 6.05pm. So Bob informed the live audience who would have missed the news bulletin, as The Golden Shot aired live on Sundays at 4.45pm.

That ITC indent is so cool And got to hand it to Bob Monkhouse. Ultra professional Originally it was "Heinz the Bolt", then along came Bernie. "Pick a pomme, do". Nice - TGS was of its time, live and at the top of the tree. TV Gold

One of the panel members was Kenneth Conner of the Carry-on films.

A neighbour was a contestant back in 1981, they got to UK and putting it on a river was a non starter. They eventually sold it some years later.

I had a Rupert Bear exactly like the ones that were part of the song on the show, bought for me in the same year (1970). They were made of soft rubber and spray painted. Inside them, they had a metal 'skeleton'. They were known as Bendy Toys. Seriously! I wonder if any of them have survived, to this day, in one piece? Doubt it, though ...

It's a Colour camera (EMI 2001) so should have been in colour. Possibly its a engineering copy saved in monochrome or there was a technicians strike at ITV around this time which resulted in some programmes being made in monochrome( at least 1 episode of On The Buses was for example).

Can you imagine Chris Tarrant saying at the start " and yes folk's the nurses strike has ended and that's for real". Wow how times have changed 😳

02:27 - "Our guest, from a few weeks ago..... from the cinema series, Michael Parkinson." Can we confirm it was THE man? Surely it has to be!

This edition was shown in the midst of the ITV engineers strike that interrumpted colour production and transmission. So this was most definately made and shown in b/w - not e how the endcap says "ATV Production" instead of "ATV Colour Production". So, this wasn't a case in which a colour programme has "its only record left in b/w" - it was in b/w anyway.

This show had to be in colour during the 70s, because Colour was introduced in 1969. But there are two things that makes this programme in B&W: 1. There was a "colour strike", where Colour engineers simply did not continue processing the colour pictures, making the image only in monochrome. 2. If this show would have been in colour, maybe it would have been destroyed (wiped), hence this ITC caption before the show. In Britain, there would have the symbol of ATV (the company who did it). Instead, we see the ITC (subsidiary of ITV and ATV), who sent the rights to broadcast the show overseas.
