Ho ho ho! Next Saturday night I am “doing” Bother’s Bar’s Festive Game Night, which is just like normal Game Night but with a couple of festive twists. Once again we will be live and interactive and you’ll be able to play along on your second screens and tweeting us.

I am once again on the look out for panellists. You’ll need to be available from 9:30pm to midnight-ish (don’t worry, it won’t clash with the Strictly final, although you might have to watch Michael McIntyre’s Big Show on iPlayer). You will need to have a working microphone, a second screen to play along with (a phone or tablet) and you will need to be contactable by Twitter.

If that sounds like you then please get in touch! And if you want to watch and play without the stress of public record then please join us here next Saturday night where there will be the live Youtube stream.

If you didn’t watch it last time this is what you missed:

There’s also still time to send us Drawful and Quiplash ideas.

Saturday,
7:15pm UK/8:15pm Germany,
Pro Sieben or naughty internet streaming

Tweet us! #bbsds

That’s right star schlaggers we’re back for another evening of celebrity challenges and commentary fun and frolics.

Join me and whoever turns up as we watch two German celebrities battle it out over fifteen games both spectacular and mundane for Elton’s €100,000 case – LIVE.

During the boring bits we’ll have our own games and gossip, and we’ll try and remember to read out your tweets on the #bbsds hashtag.

But who are our two gladiators battling it out on Saturday night? Why it’s bloody only the legendary dancer and fitness guru Detlef D! Soost and professional footballer Thorsten Legat! Music will be provided by Udo Lindenberg, Silbermond and Neiked.

It’s also Franck Buschmann’s final episode as commentator. Happily it looks like it should be much easier to stream this time round, fingers crossed.

Here is our commentary stream – live from 7:15!
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.

This is the stream we will hopefully be viewing. It was working at time of writing, I will update if we need to change it. It shouldn’t require a login or anything like that.

Tschüß!

Almost tempted to have a go myself. Evidently the first series did well enough for a return so we’re intrigued to see where it ends up going. 3pm seems quite likely to me as Tipping Point leading into The Chase is doing great things for both, although I still think it’d be odd to have two lots of Brad in an afternoon.

Still I liked series one in the main so look forward to seeing if there’s any tweaks for series two.

Join us LIVE from around 7:15pm on Saturday for the final Schlag den Star of the year and Frank Buschmann’s final Schlag den Star ever before moving to another channel. Elton will be officiating as two more celebs battle it out over 15 games for €100,000. German correspondent Nico W has this to say on our competitors:

 It’s Torsten Legat, ex-footballer and well-known by yelling “Kasalla” in the sense Koreans say “fighting” on last year’s I’m a Celeb, and Detlef “D!” Soost choregrapher and coach and judge when Popstars was still a thing. The last things I’ve heard from him are his embarrassing “Imakeyousexy.com”-ads (his fitness programme) and he’s always accompanying Kate Hall (his girlfriend) when she’s singing somewhere. Which means you can watch them every time she tries to enter the ESC for Denmark, her home-country.

I’m rather disappointed with Prosieben choosing him, but paired with Legat this could mean great fun!

Thanks Nico and we’ll have our usual mix of commentary and messing about with games of our own during the boring bits, so do come along for that.

In the meantime Dan Leitch’s brilliant Youtube channel has come up with the goods again with a load of Christmas specials. He’s uploaded the Bob’s Full House 1984 and 1989 ones, which had been going around the circuit for a little while, but I hadn’t seen this 1985 one before (discounting the original broadcast). There are some 3-2-1 Christmas specials up as well.
