Yes - as they were broadcast live ATV thought there would be no need for them to be kept. Only 5 or 6 out of the original editions were ever kept - Bob Monkhouse videotaped many of his version and he also had the only copy made of his final original edition from 1972.
This episode does have the ITC logo at the very beginning, and it was one of the last shows to used the "Compass" logo at that point. The logo was changed to a "Rainbow Diamonds" ITC logo from 1973 through 1977, and then from 1977 through the early to mid 1980's as ITC Entertainment. The logo theme remains the same after the logo change, but also sampled by Big Daddy Kane entitled "It's a Big Daddy Thing".
Let me clarify. A kinescope was where a black and white TV showed the picture, whilst a cine camera filmed it in BW. FYI, colour information was often picked up pon the film, unless an anti interference filter was used in front of the screen to remove it. Tell tale signs include speckles of dots, white in this instance. These dots can be used to recolour the picture back close to it's original format. Depending on what information remains. this may be able to be recovered. Dad's Army, Dr. Who and the pilot of Are you being served have all been restored. It's called Colour Recovery. As an asides, Bob Monkhouse Videotaped many Golden Shot editions on his Sony VTR which still works today. Thousands of tapes still exist in colour and are now in the Kaleidoscope TV (a midlands charity) Library. Depending on the deterioration of the studio tapes, the VCR's may well be better quality, and if this is in there, certainly will do.
Norman and Charlie weren’t as bright or as spontaneously witty as Bob. There were big & awkward silences at various points where the compère loses the thread - Bob never did that as he was so sharp intellectually.
Are You sure this was Broadcast in 1973 ? . IATV started Broadcasting in Colour in November1969 . There was a Colour Strike that ran from October 1970 to February 1971 but No Colour Strikes during 1973.
do you know why Bob Monkhouse was fired from The Shot then I will clue you in He was fired for what we now call Product Placement But \Monkhouse got his revenge as he came back The Shot And in the prosess ended up hosting Celebrity Squairs
+Brendan Richards But Challenge has still rebroadcast this despite the quality at some point, so wouldn't they have wanted the original quality version? Or would they just show anything in the past?

+Anna Elibazeth Wade You replied three times - unfortunately, some old shows from the 70s - especially from ITV - only exist as black and white telerecordings - it's a case of this copy or no copy - some were either not recorded at all or only exist in this quality - Bob Monkhouse did somehow record a lot of shows in which he appeared (he was the original host) - other people hosted it over the years, including Jackie Rae (the first host), Norman Vaughan (the host in this recording) and Charlie Williams - a lot of those don't exist in any shape or form - there was no home video in those days, so contestants could not record their appearance - a pity, really!
Anthony Hobson Viewer pressure and a change of mind led to the reinstatement of Bob Monkhouse.However Bob invited both Norman and Charlie back for the final show in 1975.
+Anthony Hobson Yes good point. The Golden Shot was one of the mainstays of my 60's and 70's viewing. Something hypnotic about it. Bob was always good value - a true talent.
I was only 4 but still remember this program

A cameo by Larry Grayson (he had a talk show on ATV at the time called "Shut That Door!") taking Norman Vaughan by surprise!
He was my uncle. He'd make us triangle salmon and cucumber sandwiches with no crusts when we visited!
Watching this, I realise that I know the contestant Alice! She was a barmaid at my local pub later on.
Bob was the best at hosting The Golden Shot it just did not suit Norman Vaughan and Charlie Williams also Jackie Rae people would agree with me
Norman and Charlie weren’t as bright or as spontaneously witty as Bob. There were big & awkward silences at various points where the compère loses the thread - Bob never did that as he was so sharp intellectually.

It is an export copy hence the ITC ident.
do you know why Bob Monkhouse was fired from The Shot then
I will clue you in
He was fired for what we now call Product Placement
But \Monkhouse got his revenge as he came back The Shot
And in the prosess ended up hosting Celebrity Squairs
When the female contestant rings in, the audio is muted at one point. She must have given her address out on the show.
Norman was given a poison challis
when challenge was worth watching
It's more Golden Balls than Golden Shot these days
They're not showing "Golden Balls" at the moment, but they're showing quite a lot of "The Chase" and "Pointless".
They are still showing "Golden Balls" every morning at 6am showing the first 2 series.
No microphone so Norman Collier couldn't do his normal routine. 😉
if anyone knows of the episode where Christine wins a table and chairs I would really appreciate it if you could let me know thank you
I wonder if they would allow this programme to be revived with bolts being fired, or too much health and safety to worry about?
Was this kinescoped? I ask because wouldn't "Golden Shot" be in colour by this time?
Norman tried his best
Ron McCullock
It didn't grow on him!
Do you happen to have the episode with Freddie Starr on ?
did norman vaughan or charlie williams ever host a game show apart from the golden shot?
No they didn’t as they were simply not appropriate for game show. Even though Norman co-devised Bullseye, he didn’t host it which says it all.
Poor Norman - out of his depth here. Dodgy!
Norman Vaughan. Swinging! Dodgy! 😂
An ATV colour production? In black and white? Mind you, this clip must have been from the colour strike!
+Arthur Vasey The "Colour Strike" happened well before 1973; this looks like a kinescope (film) recording of the program.

A crap electric fire as a prize. And then ATV gave us Bullseye and those prizes were no better even when it became Central
0:17 stop the music
But why did Norman and Charlie leave the show did they get the chop could some one help me on this
Richard Sharpe Both were sacked.
Anthony Hobson Viewer pressure and a change of mind led to the reinstatement of Bob Monkhouse.However Bob invited both Norman and Charlie back for the final show in 1975.
+ianlacey11 Obviously though even when Bob came the show couldn't regain its previous success. Perhaps times had moved on.
ewaf88 Maybe Bob saw the end of The Golden Shot coming, which may have prompted him to get ATV to take up Celebrity Squares.
+Anthony Hobson Yes good point. The Golden Shot was one of the mainstays of my 60's and 70's viewing. Something hypnotic about it. Bob was always good value - a true talent.
