The Golden Shot
Long running and hugely popular game show, where the contestants
instructed a blindfolded cameraman to shoot a 'telebow' (a crossbow
tied to the camera) at various targets.
Successful shots resulted in prizes of increasing
value whereas missed shots secured rather insignificant gifts.
Although it sounds like a recipe for carnage, it
actually went down a storm, except when one studio contestant managed
to knock herself out whilst on the toilet.
A clergyman who had criticised the show for being
unsafe was invited to the studio, only to be hit by a bow that ricocheted
off the studio lights. But perhaps that wasn't an accident?
The show's stars were Bernie the Bolt, original
host Jackie Rae, and later Bob Monkhouse.
