We had plans to write CONTENT today, but then this showed up in my timeline:

Cor. And this news story I’ve found of it suggests there’ll be a mood-setting app to accompany it as well. Let’s hope it doesn’t take about 45 minutes to set-up like the original board game did, although we still have fond memories of the catapult and that industrial robot arm game which never wanted to pick the cylinders up.

Have we ever linked to the first ever UK Price is Right from 1984? No? Great, content.

Cripes at the value of prizes on offer, must be in the region of £10k, wa-a-a-a-y above what the IBA would normally have allowed at the time (did I read somewhere that it made better sense to accept the fine and keep offering the prizes or did I make that up? Although it seems odd to then drop the wheel and its luck element also). Also amusing is the way they handle “you have won, but you sort of also haven’t” in the Showcase. And my favourite bit is Central in the credits covering themselves in case they just wanted to make some prices up.

Saturday 9th June, 7:15pm UK/8:15pm local
Pro 7 and naughty internet streaming

Tweet us! #bbsdh

Schlag den Henssler is back from its Sommerpause, and a plucky contestant will be attempting to win the €250,000 by besting celebrity chef Stefan Henssler over 15 mystery events. Celebrity musical guests include Kovacs, Aloe Blacc and Vanessa Mai featuring Olexesh! I know! THE Vanessa Mai (not the one you’re thinking of)!

As ever, we’ll be here attempting to provide commentary, gossip and games, and we’re likely to be a while so do feel free to dip in and out.

Watching the live Pro 7 stream might be a bit more difficult than it has been previously.

Our commentary stream link will appear here – live from 7:15 to around midnight.
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 SdH. Bother’s Bar recommends shelling out for a proper VPN service. Bother’s Bar uses Tunnelbear, 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.

Because we’re desperate for content, here’s an episode of To Me… To You we were discussing in the Evil Monkeys thread. In an “in case you missed it” capacity.

Do join us for all sorts of fun and hijinks, probably.

In other news there’s not much news.
