The golden shot was a ninety-infinitesimal game prove on ZDF . It was one of the about pop television receiver shows of the 1960s.

Emergence

ARD relied on Hans-Joachim Kulenkampff and Otto Höpfner for their large entertainment shows . In social club to counter the two very popular presenters, ZDF engaged Peter Frankenfeld and Lou van Burg . With Forget-Me-Non, Frankenfeld presented a show that he had invented himself and that ran from 1964 to 1970 just similar The Golden Shot . Lou van Burg was offered a show: The golden shot was a technically complex game idea that required over a year of training earlier it could go on air. Information technology was based on the famous apple shot scene from Friedrich Schiller's Wilhelm Tell .

The special feature was that the viewers could intervene directly in the plan by telephone: There was a movable crossbow mounted on a tripod with a television photographic camera behind information technology. The optical axis of the photographic camera lens was identical to the line of sight - front sight - target. For instance, the spectator playing at dwelling house could shoot at a target using the commands raise, lower, right, left and shot, while a cameraman performed the actions blindfolded on a joystick located on a colonnade next to the crossbow. It was the first interactive television circulate in Europe. Shooters who were in the hall fired the shot directly with the joystick.

The golden shot ran on Thursdays from 8:00 p.thousand. to nine:xxx p.thousand., and from 1969 from 8:15 p.m. to 9:45 p.m.

Significance in television history

The 25th edition was circulate alive on the evening of August 25, 1967 by the Deutsche Funkausstellung in Berlin as the first officially color show on German language television later PAL color television was introduced on the morning of the same day. For the crossbow, however, only the familiar black and white photographic camera could be used, as colour cameras were nevertheless sensitive to vibrations. The event took identify in the Deutschlandhalle with 5,000 spectators.

Game menstruum

The program had a complicated procedure, which is why Lou van Burg or his assistant often mixed up something and calculated a candidate's score incorrectly.

Honor shot

At the showtime of the circulate, a representative from the host city fired a shot with the crossbow, which set off an optical effect such as fireworks. This demonstrated the functionality of the appliance in one case once more.

Qualifying shot

A postcard had to be sent to ZDF in order to participate. These were then drawn in the broadcast: two telephone candidates, one non-telephone candidate and ane phone candidate from abroad. The phone candidates were called and had to fire a qualifying shot. If they didn't come across, spectators from the audience got their chance, who also had to shoot. The winners were invited to the next show. The not-telephone candidate had to go to an acquaintance's apartment with a telephone and television for his qualifying shot for the side by side program and, if successful, was invited to the next but one programme. The players in the first edition were identified in an introductory broadcast.

First round of the game

The 4 participants played in pairs against each other and had to score points in a game of skill that had cipher to do with the crossbow. For example, assurance had to be thrown.

Prominentenschuss

A celebrity who was in attendance at the show fired a shot. With this it was adamant for which charitable purpose the entrance fee of the hall audition is to be used. From Dec 1966, there was no longer whatever question of a politician, since a representative who was well-nigh to be elected had previously caused displeasure.

Tele-Tell

From March to June 1966, iii state rifle champions competed against each other on the crossbow in social club to take part in the final round in Baronial, which was near the title Tele-Tell .

Trickschuss

In the 2d round of the game, the winning pair from the first round had to compete against each other. The shooter king who was allowed to carry out the gilt shot was determined.

The gold shot

The rifle king was allowed to take the gold shot. A bag of gold hung on a thread between the crossbow and the target. If the rifle king striking the thread, he was allowed to take the gold home with him. If he didn't hit the thread, but striking the target, he was allowed to fire again in the post-obit broadcast.

Show part

In addition to the games, in that location were four show blocks in each program, with Lou van Burg himself appearing in one office. The musical accompaniment was ever provided past Max Greger with his large band, who had signed a contract with ZDF and could therefore be seen in various shows on the station. The first part of the testify followed the qualifying shooting and the 2nd part of the get-go round of the game. The third function took place earlier the burglarize male monarch was determined, the quaternary and longest function took place afterwards.

There was a specific motto for each consequence. The phase design, the first round of the game, a prominent guest and some of the show blocks were adapted to this. For example, the motto was in one case après ski with the famous shooter Luis Trenker , the 16th episode even came from the casino in Monte Carlo with Princess Gracia Patricia .

production

The Zurich Boob tube and theater entrepreneur Werner Schmid produced the program with Schmid Productions for effectually DM 250,000 per episode, which was considered cheap for a big evening testify. The presenter had a contract with Schmid Productions and received DM 15,000 for an episode, with a "good comport clause" allowing ZDF to reject him.

The golden cassette was developed just in time for the introduction of color television set . It was a device into which the telephone receiver could be inserted like later with the modem. The crossbow could and so exist controlled directly by pressing a push button. This was done with sinus tones of different frequencies that were transmitted via the telephone line to an associated control device on the crossbow. Werner Schmid worked in the creative field with Hannes Schmid, with whom he was not related. Overall, however, simply Werner Schmid was responsible for the shows and also the copyright holder.

Lou from Burg

Lou van Burg was already known to German language viewers from the ARD testify Sing mit mir - spiel mit mir , which was canceled prematurely , which is why the introductory program was too called Reunion with Lou van Burg . On December iv, 1964, the show celebrated as "Mr. Wunnebar "well-known Dutch entertainer in the Centennial Hall in Hoechst Premiere. It quickly became popular and its visual participation was e'er over 40%, in 1967 it fifty-fifty reached 72%. Van Burg presented the show with great dedication and an unmistakable Dutch accent, especially in the episode from Monte Carlo, he was too able to shine with his language skills, as he managed without an interpreter during the interview with Gracia Patricia. The initially unimaginative questions to the guests were helped by the bear witness authors after a while with suggestions for topics and gags.

Lou was still married simply lived with his 41-yr-one-time girlfriend, Angèle Durand . At the press briefing for the 24th edition in June 1967, Durand told the journalists that van Burg had left them to start an affair with his tour assistant. Information technology was virtually the Rhinelander Marianne Krems, she was 29 years sometime, married and had a three-year-former kid. The Bild newspaper and various magazines reported on this, which turned into a real boob tube scandal. On July 11, 1967, ZDF separated from van Burg. The director Karl Holzamer said that it is non private life, just publication in all tabloid media were decisive for information technology. In particular, information technology was feared that the audience would limited displeasure at the prestigious episode of the radio exhibition.

Vico Torriani

A ZDF printing release of July 15, 1967 announced Rudi Carrell for the edition of the German radio exhibition in Berlin, merely he and so canceled. Vico Torriani then stepped in , fifty-fifty though he was on a spa tour during rehearsals. Information technology was then kept for the post-obit editions.

Torriani was likewise well received past the audition, but not as much as his predecessor. In the telephone audience survey, it only achieved a value of +three.7 compared to +4.5 for Lou van Burg. Torriani'south skills were more singing than talking to guests, which he didn't think was his forte, and he seemed a little awkward. Nonetheless, visual participation did not subtract and remained unchanged at superlative values ​​of over lxx%. Nevertheless, the prove was discontinued in the summer of 1970 with the 50th broadcast, because the ZDF wanted to redesign its program for the 1970s.

Anecdotes

Since using the target, the assistant Alexandra Marischka has ordinarily announced the number of points achieved afterward a kill , with 100 being the maximum. In the consequence of a hitting in the heart of the target, the ritual announcement was made. The candidate has 100 points. This phrase became a popular phrase in parts of the population and was used repeatedly for a while in everyday life when someone agreed to an advisable statement. In 1 of the broadcasts, the assistant caused a lot of laughter when, in the effect of a striking on the edge of the target center, she announced, completely unusually, "The candidate has 99 points", which in no way corresponded to the crude gradations of the point values ​​assigned to the target rings.

Before firing, an employee named Peter always had to insert a commodities into the crossbow. Vico Torriani gave the same ritual education every time: "Delight, Peter, the commodities." In an issue of Wetten, dass ..? there was once a similar process in which the moderator Thomas Gottschalk likewise instructed with the words "Delight, Peter, the bolt". Then Gottschalk jokingly remarked: "Since the aureate shot we take known that bolts are always chosen Peter."

The golden shot at other television stations

From 1965 the golden shot ran on several foreign television stations, showtime in the Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland, where information technology was moderated under the proper name Tele-Tell, amid others by Manni Weber . French republic and Italia followed, and later even non-European countries. In the mid-1970s, the show was still running in over 20 countries around the earth.

The private broadcaster Sat.1 broadcast a new edition from October 1, 1988 to 1989, initially as part of its breakfast program Guten Morgen with Sat.1 , then every bit an independent daily program in the afternoon program with moderators changing weekly (including Rita Werner , Jörg Draeger , Hans-Jörg Karrenbrock and Bodo Henkel ).

Play with Uncle Lou

As early on every bit 1976, speculations were circulating in the press most a re-edition of The Golden Shot , merely it was not until Jan 1983 that ZDF announced a shortened form of crossbow shooting . With the title Game with Onkel Lou ran from March 12 to May 21, 1983 six episodes directed past Horst Eppinger. The program ran on Sat at six p.m., parallel to the ARD sports show, and was l minutes long. The gameplay was changed compared to the original:

Tele-Type

There were iv players in the studio. The viewers in the studio were asked to apply a voting card to choose whoever they thought would win. From the right answers, two contestants were drawn for the following edition of the testify.

1 round

The teammates could no longer be eliminated in the first round, but instead collect points in three rounds. In the start round they had to shoot the crossbow.

Qualifying shooting of the phone candidates

As before, two postcards were drawn to call the sender so that he could qualify for participation in the adjacent programme. There were no more foreign and non-telephone candidates.

Trick shooting

The crossbow was also used in the second round.

Prominentenschuss

Originally, the thought was to select a show block with the celebrity shot, which should and then be shown via video playback and could exist shortened if necessary. Then it was decided to popularize the lottery on Wednesday , which had only been introduced the year before and for which ZDF carried out the cartoon. The shot determined how often a viewer drawn from the postcards sent was allowed to play the lottery for free.

Comet shot

For the 3rd round of the game they had come up with something new. The teammates got 1,000 points each and this number decreased the more than information technology took them to burn down the shot. Then all the points were added up and converted into a DM amount that the players could take dwelling house. The ane with the about points had the chance to double the amount with the Aureate Shot.

The golden shot

For the golden shot, a thread had to exist shot through again, simply instead of a gold sack, information technology was a gold apple.

Show role

After the first round of the game and after the qualifying shoots, there was a evidence block.

Spiel mit Uncle Lou had disappointing audition figures with an average of 3.seven million viewers. Since the calls from the viewers were mostly negative and many complained about the moderator'southward now immense preponderance, in that location was no further flavor. The failure was likewise supported by a very pocket-sized studio and the hustle and bustle that the brusque airtime brought with it. For Lou van Burg it was the concluding presentation on television.
