Can't remember watching golden shot on TV as I was only an infant but I'm loving it now and enjoying it so much the basis of this programme is so simple but fun to watch why can't they make TV shows like this anymore? I'm sure they can and what a large audience they will receive.
I remember this and those with Bob Norman and Charlie,. Live TV as it should be, occasional small fires on the set and as it was live a sense of drama. Pity we don't have this live show now. I would imagine the h&s lot would have a fit.
One of the musical acts on this "Golden Shot" episode, Brotherhood of Man, went on to win the Eurovision Song Contest in 1976 with the British entry "Save Your Kisses For Me".
@@jamesmitchell8922 Brotherhood of Man had been around for quite a few years with a number of very different line ups. It was only one version of BOM that won the 1976 Eurovision. There is a video of them singing "United We Stand" on Top of the Pops in 1970 and it was a completely different line up. As for poor Charlie Williams, whilst he could be a funny comedian (although his material would run into problems these days) he seemed completely out of his depth as a game show host - something he himself admitted later. ATV brought back Bob Monkhouse in an effort to save the show.
This episode featured Brotherhood of Men with a uncharted song. Their best one was "United We Stand" which was their only big hit in 1970, 3 years later, the song never charted in the US. This was mostly a game show and a variety show mixed in between segments. BTW, the ATV "In Colour" logo at 2:45 was taken from the U.K. airing of the "Muppet Show" if you are familiar with the Muppets.
I'm an American and I must admit this show is pretty interesting to watch. But if this was attempted here it'd be kinda difficult because of our time zones.
I can only just about remember it. As a kid all you wanted to see was the antics with the crossbow but god I didn't realise what an absolute load of drivel it was
Like the way he harasses that old peasant at the end - dragging him and hissing "Quickly!" (45:29). if I was the peasant I'd'a told him to "mind the cloff, moff" and given him a shove. Cheeky c-word, innit.
john cooper It was produced in colour between 1970 until it ended in 1975. ATV didn't think it was worth recording for preservation on video tape as it was broadcast live. What we have got are B&W film telerecordings and a couple of colour taped editions as random examples of the programme. Bob Monkhouse had a lot of his ones telerecorded for his own personal collection, otherwise there'd be virtually nothing of the programme in existence.
In colour from 16th November 1969 to its demise on 13th April 1975 but was in B&W again during the ITV colour strike from November 1970 to February 1971.
I did watch it when Charlie Williams did it but like Norman Vaughan & Jackie Rae it just did not suit them with it been a live show. But could someone confirm this to me was Jackie Rae Dame Thora Hird son in law was that right
Richard Sharpe Yes he was married to Thora's daughter Janette Scott though they were divorced by the time he did this. He wasn't however the singer Johnnie Ray !
FFS even by 1970's standards this was truly awful. Most of the contestants look like rabbits caught in the headlights or completely unable to speak properly. The main singer from Brotherhood of man looks like a transvestite and what's with her teeth at least by the time they won Eurovision they had improved but those clothes the blokes where wearing. The marksman of the week looks like a munchkin. I was 9 in 1974 and use to watch The Golden Shot I probably thought it was crap then too. And how sexist was it. Charlie Williams was about as funny gastro.
Man, the 70s were crap. Imagine going on this total pile of excrement and winning a fkn bunk bed. Brotherhood of Man were a kind of 'Pound Shop' Abba (more Blackpool Wintergardens than Las Vegas) - but I'd forgotten what a good singer Carl Wayne was.
Happiest days of my life watching this in the 70,s
My dad loved this show
Sometimes this show desperately needs background music - but it is live. It's a bonkers show from my childhood. Thanks for posting it.
I'm only 'LIKING' this as I can't LOVE IT! Watching this through my fingers it's utterly excruciating!! Thank you so much for this episode!!
@Junior Moult you aren't the only one watching through your fingers, have pity on me, I'm the hostess in the pink dress, Lee Patrick!
Your very attractive what are you doing now?
I was just thinking you looked like you had a lot to say! You probably weren’t allowed In guessing. You were beautiful though!
Love you twitter comments Patti. Sadly this once proud nation will be a Muslim state within 20 years. All the best.
@@COLEEN322 🥲
Patti you did fantastic, this show Was tops , must have been a real celebrity at the time with people you knew, you looked very pretty by the way x
Brotherhood of man before their Eurovision win in 1976 WOW
Lee what a claim to fame.... That must have been THE TV job to aim for back then!! Thanks for being part of it!!
A jackpot of £200, that's a Saturday night's beer money in this day and age.
.. Yes,. Sundays were always bleak back then !

Also the late great Legendry comedian Sir ken dodd.
Frankie Holmes appearing at the start of the episode. Sadly he died back in February this year at the age of 93. Another one of 2016's casualties.
I saw Charlie Williams in a show in Scarborough a few yearsl ago
Hmm...can hear the cinecamera whirring away, just like on Crossroads. Very ATV. But nobody dare diss this show because I loved it...
What an utterly bonkers show.

@EricIrl How about Max Bygraves? He wasn't really that brilliant as host of Family Fortunes.

The show, Bob Monkhouse just loved to hate and he was the Presenter
this was the year my wife was born
The Golden Shoot (Sep 1, 1974)
Poor Charlie.... Utterly hopeless but wonderful
Monkhouse was so brilliant anybody would have looked inept.
I can only just about remember it. As a kid all you wanted to see was the antics with the crossbow but god I didn't realise what an absolute load of drivel it was
Is that Robert Maxwell?
14:11 A £3 voucher? Biiiiiig Moneeeeey :)
Where? Where?
Doddy Would Have Made a Great Golden Shot Presenter
in 1974 my mum was 11 and my dad was 28
Wow a bunkbed. Wow. And the brotherhhod of man
The contestants look as if there doctor has given them a week to live..
They looked like that in real life too, lol
more pleeeeez
14:38 - "D-don't tell Williams, he's only gaffer"

God help us, is this guy for real.
Which one?
Charlie Williams looks like Bill Bonjangles Robinson.
I wish there were more episodes of 'THE GOLDEN SHOT' produced in colour than black and white. Don't you think?

Darren Gomes The black & white episodes were from ITC in the US and all over the world. ITC distributed the show since it was from ATV.
In colour from 16th November 1969 to its demise on 13th April 1975 but was in B&W again during the ITV colour strike from November 1970 to February 1971.
Charlie Williams was actually Welsh.
Born in Royston, West Riding of Yorkshire, England. He's not Welsh.
@@LogoMan7777 be that as it may but he was Welsh in 2017 when I posted the original comment.
Very good viewing apart from the condescending intro talk over
Jackie Rae, not Johnnie Ray (who was American, and namechecked by Dexys)
John Rae was his real name,that's maybe why they said it
lost it after Bob
I cant see how the chap at the end didn't win! They rushed him off very quickly! It looked dead on to me.
I think it has to be hit in the exact center of the target.
Charlie Williams was obviously quite underwhelmed at the bunk bed prize!!
So was I in having to promote it, lol
15th March 1975
I did watch it when Charlie Williams did it but like Norman Vaughan & Jackie Rae it just did not suit them with it been a live show. But could someone confirm this to me was Jackie Rae Dame Thora Hird son in law was that right
Richard Sharpe Yes he was married to Thora's daughter Janette Scott though they were divorced by the time he did this. He wasn't however the singer Johnnie Ray !
I was very young when this was on, but god apart from the watching them trying to hit the target, it was bloody crap
Not Jonnie ray
No one talking about the casual racism from Brotherhood of Man saying they’re “going to Portugal to get a suntan” like Charlie Williams?
Yep, that was standard kind of talk for back then. Some of it is very cringy to look back on that's for sure.
Get over ot m8

That end part i thought he hit the target.
It was spot on but the Country was in a right old financial mess. I suspect they were told to fiddle the jackpot so no one ever won.
@@alanhiscock3796 it was a fraction
@@Dim4323 To ATV, that's enough to deny him 200 quid.
@@alanhiscock3796 They spent the prize money on Carl Wayne's tea set.

Amateur night rules okay! This is so appalling. Charlie Williams is out of his depth and it shows.
Cringeworthy

They glued that tea set to the tray. How the fug is he supposed to use it? In today's money I reckon it's worth about £1.69.
