Tonight’s excitement is the premiere of Don’t, part of ABC’s Summer Fun and Games in the US. It’s hosted by Adam Scott and produced by Ryan Reynolds, off of films. The US is going through a bit of a green patch of physical shows (comedy or otherwise) right now – we’re still enjoying Holey Moley and Ultimate Tag (we’ve not kept up with The Titan Games).

Extra interest here as it was suggested in a previous Stool Pigeon chat that this might be a show the BBC were thinking about piloting with David Tennant, although we’ve got little concrete evidence of that.

And it’s a double bill.

This Saturday from 9-11:30-ish is the 19th running of Bother’s Bar’s Game Night here and on Youtube, and in my head I’ve got an incredible Arbitrary Final that’s even better than The Road to Sortition which I didn’t think would be possible. I’m after panellists to go up against each other and the audience, and at TWO points I’ll need Voices Of The Audience as TWO games will require it, so even if you don’t make the panel you might be able to come on in voice and represent the Team Audience anyway.

If you’re interested leave a message here or drop me a DM on Twitter. I already have some panellists but I need a few more – everyone will get a yes or no response by Thursday, hopefully. Remember there are a number of considerations when it comes to putting a panel together, so don’t be too upset if you don’t get selected.

Panellist or Voice of The Audience, we will need to be Discord friends as all games on the night will be played without broadcast delay through there. I am BrigBother#9399.

Incidentally – I started working on a project converting old BBGN eps with the old scoring system to the new one for Best Players Of All Time purposes, got about halfway and then put it on the back burner (it’s not nearly as simple as “multiply all the numbers by 20”, alas). I’ll try and get it all done in the next few weeks, for those that are interested.

If you missed our Schlag den Star Watchalong last night you will have missed Daniel Peake’s second edition of the Round Brit-Dan Quiz, based on the long running radio show of a similar title. But never fear! I have clipped it all out for you. Who will prevail: Team 1 or Team B?

Saturday, 7:15pm (UK) 8:15 (CET),
Pro Sieben and naughty internet streaming

Yo, what are you doing this evening? Not much these days I bet! So why not join us as two celebs battle it out for €100,000 in an empty studio across fifteen mystery games, one of which will be Blamieren oder Kassieren, live on German television?

As ever we will have our Discord open for live chat and quizzing and gossip and stuff. Remember it’s a privilege not a right so behave yourselves. To avoid cutting out, we advise turning Auto-sensitivity off and setting it to -85dB or so in your settings.

THIS EPISODE! It’s Dutch model on model action as Sylvie Meis takes on Lilly Becker.

The link to the Youtube commentary stream will be live here from 7:15pm until end of broadcast.

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 (and about a full minute behind if you’re watching an actual satellite feed), sorry.

The Opera VPN has apparently stopped being useful for SdS. Bother’s Bar recommends shelling out for a proper VPN service. Bother’s Bar uses ExpressVPN, other VPN services are available. Matt Clemson recommends Windscribe as a free alternative. We cannot take responsibility for anything you do to your system, so be careful and use some common sense.

To watch it would be useful to sign up for ProSieben’s catch-up service – it’s pretty simple to work out, don’t click the box if you don’t want e-mail messages. You will need to put in a proper e-mail because it will send you a confirmation. 

If anyone knows of any relatively safe livestreams, do feel free to share.

Don’t forget that this Saturday is our usual Schlag-cast, and I’m now taking volunteers for Bother’s Bar Game Night 19 panellists for 13th June, please leave a message or drop me a DM. Don’t just respond to a tweet because I might forget about it. You’ve got until next Thursday to put your hat into the ring.

Anyway, The Sun reporting that ITV are signing up Gino “Sheffield” d’Acampo for a reboot of non-all star Family Fortunes. He’ll probably say something accidentally inappropriate, it’ll be great.

Gino also recently hosted the surprise gritty reboot of Win Your Wish List on Five. He was alright at it, actually.
