Things to do on Saturday

By | January 27, 2022

Basically there are two: from 7:15pm until late we’ll be watching the last Schlag den Star on the BB Discord before its sort-of Winter/Frühlingspause, but if you want some all day quizzing there’s also this from 11am:

It’s Japanese Treasure Hunt

By | January 26, 2022

Many thanks to Brian W Moore to linking to what seems to be a Japanese version of Treasure Hunt, which appears to be called Satellite Quiz. The title of the video suggests it’s a Sunday Special (Brian points out in the e-mail “the episode I’ve linked looks like it is not a regular one as It has some behind-the-scenes footage.”) It’s from 1984, produced by the people behind Trans-American Ultra Quiz.

I had no idea such a thing existed, incredible find.

Edit: Alright, not a full episode at all really, more of a behind-the-scenes/preview episode. Some fun takeaways though:

  • Love the set, dominated by a satellite. The clue comes down a pipe.
  • The clues are written on parchment!
  • Looks like they did a pilot on the French set.
  • Most importantly, if the contestants want to talk to the Skyrunner it looks like they have to sound some sort of klaxon first.

Sounds like there might only have been two “proper” eps broadcast, which kind of makes sense as if there were more you’d assume we’d know about them. Still, though.

This is a very good deal

Also adds: “and at that price, you’d do the better thing and book 8 and play 6… making it more of an experience,” which is difficult to argue with.

Edit: Sounds like the London tix are sold out but there are still some for Manchester, thanks Chris.

It’s Schlag den Star on Saturday

By | January 25, 2022

Likely the last one for a little while.

In up to 15 rounds, footballer Max Kruse and actor Frederick Lau compete against each other in a direct duel. Who proves fighting spirit and fitness? Who shows brains and skill? The winner will receive 100,000 euros. Elton leads through the evening, Ron Ringguth comments.

Schlag den Star – Schlag den Star – ProSieben

And there’s music from James Morisson and THE Max Giesinger.

Do join us in the Discord on Saturday from 7:15pm UK.
