ProSieben and naughty internet streaming
Yes! It’s time for Stefan Raab to take on his fifty-first kanditdat with €1m up for grabs if the best of Germany can out perform the best of German television across fifteen mystery games.
And again we will be providing sort-of-live commentary, which doesn’t really work as live commentary because of all sorts of delays. HOWEVER it will likely be fun to listen to, and will likely feature all sorts of fun and games along the way. So why not come and join us? David J Bodycombe, Daniel Peake, Lewis Murphy and myself should all be along.
We’ll probably have all sorts of extra-curricular activities to fill the gaps during the breaks as well. Why pay the €21.50 (plus €6.50 booking fee) to watch it LIVE in the studio when you can watch it LIVE with us?
The musical turns this episode are Ella Henderson and Howard Faltermeyer Herbert Grönemeyer !
Here are the deets – note that we have a new recommendation for you after someone suggested it last commentary:
Here are all the links you need:
Here is link to our commentary (will open in a new window). 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 primary stream we will be watching live and basing our commentary on. HOWEVER! It is recommended you watch the back-up stream whilst listening to our commentary as that is 10-15 seconds behind our primary stream and so the commentary syncing should work out much better. If we have to switch to the back-up I’m afraid we will be about twenty seconds ahead of what you’re watching.
Follow us on Twitter for immediate news if something goes wrong. Or because we’re fun guys!!!! @bothersbar, @danielpeake, @ogbajoj, @davidjbodycombe.
Is Germany basically the only place where you have to pay for game show tickets? I payed around 25 Euros to WWM mit Gunter Jauch five years ago.
Funnily enough I had a discussion about this on twitter with a few folks fairly recently. In the US the reverse is often true, where to get audiences in they actually have to offer money. Meanwhile I’m told that in the Netherlands it depends on the show: something big like Miljoenenjacht you’d need to pay to get in, but a smaller show might want to pay you to turn up.
Thinking about it, various offers of guaranteed/priority tickets from UK audience companies are a similar system, just without any of that pesky money stuff (unless you pay for an Applause Store priority membership, but who would do that?)
There are a couple of new talenty singing contests starting this weekend – The Voice, Stars in Their Eyes, Get Your Act Together – I’ll do a sort of catch-all post for them tomorrow.
Great fun as ever, gang. Thanks for putting so much effort in, as usual, with the extra content to fill in during the ad breaks, musical acts and harder-to-follow quizzes. You do so much more than “just” commentate on the games!
