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.

Some upcoming Bother’s Bar Community Streams (BBCS) for you to put into your diaries:

• Schlag den Star Watchalong – 6th June – Join us for a watchalong of popular German Schlag den Brig tribute show Schlag den Star, this month featuring Dutch model on model action with Sylvie Meis vs Lilly Becker.
• Bother’s Bar Game Night 19 I Think – 13th June – I don’t want to get anyone too excited and I don’t want to raise anyone’s expectations, but I’ve got a feeling this episode’s Arbitrary Final might be the ULTIMATE combination of skill and luck, surpassing even that of The Road to Sortition. I’ll be open for panellist submissions from midweek, right now we need to be Discord friends (BrigBother #9399) as the direct messaging feature is important.

Did you know Bother’s Bar has a Discord? We don’t use it for anything much but you’re welcome to have a look at it anyway.

Edit: Voting in the semi-finals for The People’s Ben Justice’s Top 100 Gameshows of All Time is now open, voting closes Sunday.

Star Wars Jedi Temple Challenge starts on Youtube next week (June 3rd) after originally being designed as a Disney+ thing, and it looks actually pretty good.

I’m not a Star Wars person and so the lore stuff is likely to grate, but it sounds like it’s been inspired by good shows like The Crystal Maze, Raven and Jungle Run. Nice to see an adventure show that looks like it’s got a budget at any rate.

Incidentally, a new series of Britain’s Brightest Celebrity Family starts tonight on ITV at 8pm.

I’ve spent many evenings during lockdown playing along with Ash the Bash (Wednesday and Friday) and Royal Flu$h’s (Tuesday and Saturday) Twitch gameshow streams and this Saturday they’re doing a charidee marathon of sorts, most of which you can interact with in the Twitch chat. Do drop in as and when, it should be a lot of fun – all subs and bits given on the day will be going to charity. Starts midday UK. Can also donate directly here.
