The Summer is OFFICIALLY over as Stefan Raab returns for the 48th time to defend his jackpot from a member of the public across fifteen unusual physical and mental challenges LIVE on German television, having won the last three editions this episode the prize stands at €2m.
And again we will be providing sort-of-live commentary, which doesn’t really work as live commentary because of all sorts of delays. HOWEVER it will likely be fun to listen to, and will likely feature all sorts of fun and games along the way. So why not come and join us? It’s likely the full gang will be here – me, Daniel Peake, Lewis Murphy and TV’s David J Bodycombe. Join us for the whole five-ish hours or just dip in and out as you please.
The musical turns this episode are Maroon 5 and Kiesza. I know! THE Maroon 5!
Here are the deets. They’ll be updated live on the evening:

Our live commentary stream link will be linked to here! Join us!
This is the primary stream we will be watching live and basing our commentary on.
That stream will probably go down at some point during the evening, here’s our first back-up one. If it all goes down, once we’ve finished panicking, we’ll put up links to streams we can find on here and on Twitter.
Follow us on Twitter for immediate news if something goes wrong. Or because we’re fun guys!!!! @bothersbar, @danielpeake, @ogbajoj, @davidjbodycombe.
Thanks for listening everyone, next one’s 1st November I’m informed.
Might be a nice ratings clash between Raab and Kerner (Quiz-Champion, scheduled for October 23th and 30th as well).
Last night’s Schlag den Raab did well in the ratings, although it was helped greatly by the competition.
Overall viewers: 2.75m (12.8%)
14-49 viewers: 1.93m (22.9%)
The 14-49 share (which is the figure that matters most to advertisers) is the highest since May 2012. The show has pretty much stayed between 19% and 30% in 14-49 viewers over the last 8 years. It’ll probably be recommissioned through until its 10th anniversary in 2016, barring a complete drop in ratings.
Rising Star was more akin to a ‘Falling Star’ last night on RTL. Down to 1.11m and 5.8% in the 14-49 demo. RTL have therefore decided to end the show earlier than planned.
Yep we noticed Rising Star was on and wondered if it would boost Raab’s numbers.
