Saturday 20th December,
7:15pm UK (8:15 on the continent),
ProSieben and naughty internet streaming
Competition closed!
48…49…50! Yes! It’s time for Stefan Raab to take on his fiftieth kandatdate. Fifty contestants. €25m in prizemoney. 131 cars given away (I think). At least one screen punched. Several injuries. What an eventful eight years of quality live television.
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? David J Bodycombe, Daniel Peake, Lewis Murphy and myself should all be along.
We have lots of extra-curricular things prepared for you this time round for the ad breaks, and you, YES YOU LISTENER could win some money – at least £25, possibly, very possibly as much as £100! Honestly you will NOT want to miss what we’ve got in store.
The musical turns this episode are CRO, ZAZ and The Voice of Germany 2014 Charley Ann Schmutzler!
Here are the deets.
Here are all the links you need:
Here is the link to our commentary (will open in a new window). This stream is commentary only. You will need to have a naughty stream running at the same time for the visuals. We are likely to be about 15-20 seconds behind the visual stream, sorry.
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.
Very nice! Should be a fun evening.
After all the talk of interactivity last month, I started coding an interactive voting game as a way to learn some new programming techniques, and for a bit of fun was going to suggest using it for a future SdR (as it will not quite be ready for this Saturday – and it sounds like a packed enough commentary show as it is!)
As the next+1 SdR is apparently just 3 weeks away on January 10th, would it be of interest? I’ve got a shiny new “as seen on Bother’s Bar” copy of The Jackbox Party Pack for Steam to offer as a prize too 🙂
Possibly! We’d need to think of something to do with it first. Let’s get through tomorrow for the moment. Thanks very much!
Sounds great but could you email me via David (at) qwertyuiop (dot) co (dot) uk and explain a bit more about it. What does it do and what requirements are expected of the users? Thanks.
Of course, now that episode 50 is out the way 🙂 I’ll email you tomorrow.
Due to the combination of the Strictly final and being at my parents’, whose internet is not up to a quality that can handle live streaming, I’ll be catching up later via MySpass. Would it be possible to get notes of what times on the commentary correspond to the spiel intros to make it a bit easier to sync up?
I’m rather looking forward to tonight.
CAUTION: BAD PUNS AHEAD.
I’m going to be listening to you all and watching your quizzy bull-ringing bits while not watching the show. It’ll be like Gogglebox on the radio, sort of.
Awesome! We shall do our best to convey our bafflement at the proceedings.
That particular Night Shift Worker doesn’t need any more baffling, I can assure you that! 😀
I’ll look forward to the insightful commentary as usual and have a go at this viewer competition so I can win myself some extra Chrimbo cash 😉
Well done to James and Gwylim James who split the money with guesses of 2355 and 2357 (the end time was 2356). £12.50 each, will be in touch very soon.
Hope you all enjoyed it, next Raab January 10th I believe.
Thanks for joining us everyone!
Forgot to say, many thanks again for all the hard work that goes into these commentaries. I was ill and miserable in bed, and was thoroughly cheered up by it all.
