Happiest days of my life watching this in the 70,s

My dad loved this show

Sometimes this show desperately needs background music - but it is live. It's a bonkers show from my childhood. Thanks for posting it.

I'm only 'LIKING' this as I can't LOVE IT! Watching this through my fingers it's utterly excruciating!! Thank you so much for this episode!!

Can't remember watching golden shot on TV as I was only an infant but I'm loving it now and enjoying it so much the basis of this programme is so simple but fun to watch why can't they make TV shows like this anymore? I'm sure they can and what a large audience they will receive.

Patti you did fantastic, this show Was tops , must have been a real celebrity at the time with people you knew, you looked very pretty by the way x

I remember this and those with Bob Norman and Charlie,. Live TV as it should be, occasional small fires on the set and as it was live a sense of drama. Pity we don't have this live show now. I would imagine the h&s lot would have a fit.

A jackpot of £200, that's a Saturday night's beer money in this day and age.

Also the late great Legendry comedian Sir ken dodd.

Frankie Holmes appearing at the start of the episode. Sadly he died back in February this year at the age of 93. Another one of 2016's casualties.

One of the musical acts on this "Golden Shot" episode, Brotherhood of Man, went on to win the Eurovision Song Contest in 1976 with the British entry "Save Your Kisses For Me".

@@jamesmitchell8922 Brotherhood of Man had been around for quite a few years with a number of very different line ups. It was only one version of BOM that won the 1976 Eurovision. There is a video of them singing "United We Stand" on Top of the Pops in 1970 and it was a completely different line up. As for poor Charlie Williams, whilst he could be a funny comedian (although his material would run into problems these days) he seemed completely out of his depth as a game show host - something he himself admitted later. ATV brought back Bob Monkhouse in an effort to save the show.

@EricIrl How about Max Bygraves? He wasn't really that brilliant as host of Family Fortunes.

What an utterly bonkers show.

Hmm...can hear the cinecamera whirring away, just like on Crossroads. Very ATV. But nobody dare diss this show because I loved it...

I saw Charlie Williams in a show in Scarborough a few yearsl ago

17 March 1974

This episode featured Brotherhood of Men with a uncharted song. Their best one was "United We Stand" which was their only big hit in 1970, 3 years later, the song never charted in the US. This was mostly a game show and a variety show mixed in between segments. BTW, the ATV "In Colour" logo at 2:45 was taken from the U.K. airing of the "Muppet Show" if you are familiar with the Muppets.

Alreyt me old flower

I'm an American and I must admit this show is pretty interesting to watch. But if this was attempted here it'd be kinda difficult because of our time zones.

Poor Charlie.... Utterly hopeless but wonderful

Doddy Would Have Made a Great Golden Shot Presenter

Charlie Williams looks like Bill Bonjangles Robinson.

Like the way he harasses that old peasant at the end - dragging him and hissing "Quickly!" (45:29). if I was the peasant I'd'a told him to "mind the cloff, moff" and given him a shove. Cheeky c-word, innit.

God help us, is this guy for real.

I wish there were more episodes of 'THE GOLDEN SHOT' produced in colour than black and white. Don't you think?

john cooper It was produced in colour between 1970 until it ended in 1975. ATV didn't think it was worth recording for preservation on video tape as it was broadcast live. What we have got are B&W film telerecordings and a couple of colour taped editions as random examples of the programme. Bob Monkhouse had a lot of his ones telerecorded for his own personal collection, otherwise there'd be virtually nothing of the programme in existence.

Amateur night rules okay! This is so appalling. Charlie Williams is out of his depth and it shows.

Cringeworthy

FFS even by 1970's standards this was truly awful. Most of the contestants look like rabbits caught in the headlights or completely unable to speak properly. The main singer from Brotherhood of man looks like a transvestite and what's with her teeth at least by the time they won Eurovision they had improved but those clothes the blokes where wearing. The marksman of the week looks like a munchkin. I was 9 in 1974 and use to watch The Golden Shot I probably thought it was crap then too. And how sexist was it. Charlie Williams was about as funny gastro.

They glued that tea set to the tray. How the fug is he supposed to use it? In today's money I reckon it's worth about £1.69.

Man, the 70s were crap. Imagine going on this total pile of excrement and winning a fkn bunk bed. Brotherhood of Man were a kind of 'Pound Shop' Abba (more Blackpool Wintergardens than Las Vegas) - but I'd forgotten what a good singer Carl Wayne was.
