Going For Gold 1987 (FIRST EVER EPISODE) Part 1

Another game show now and this one is rather special. It's the European show Going For Gold, but not only that, it's the very first episode, recorded in October 1987. A great find, you can now see how the show that would run for over 700 episodes and nine years all started. Your host is Henry Kelly.
I'd also like to thank benriggers for discovering this episode on a tape that he sent me because it's a great game show find.

Henry Kelly is actually the most hospitable host ever. He always puts contestants in the spotlight instead of taking it for himself.

Richard Leslie did have a diplomatic career coming up all right.. head of French at my high school! He was an excellent (if rather flamboyant) teacher. Not everyone bought into his ways, but I found him to be inspirational and charismatic... just as he comes across here!!

In an accidental Partridge moment, I nearly literally bumped in to Henry Kelly during a Pointless Celebrities shoot. There was a bathroom break and I was walking back to the studio as he was walking out. He is as short as me lol.

This is the series premiere episode of the British TV show "Going For Gold" (a quiz show featuring contestants all around Europe) & it's originally aired October 1987 on BBC1 (United Kingdom). 🇬🇧 🇬🇧

[@laurenzooveree]

I bet Richard felt a jolt of tremendous satisfaction when he delivered the word ''fools'' as he beat Ian and Jacob.

[@CourtneyComments]

It was first shown on Thursday 22nd October 1987.

The following episodes are officially missing from the archives for series 1: 4, 20, 27, 31, 36, 40, 51, 59 and 63.

[@SpotlessLeopard]

They're the ones where Henry Kelly turned up pissed and started insulting the contestants. Oh you're German are you Franz? Surprised you don't wanna take over the fucking studio. English are you Peter? Wanna take the potatoes out me cupboard do you? And you're Italian are you Philippo? Don't run off if there's any loud bangs cos it won't be a war. Then old Henry urinated up the podium and fell asleep on a member of the audience.

[@markgc1316]

There is literally no quiz show so bad that it can't run for 700 episodes.

[@GazMcEwan1873]

Would be a perfect opportunity for the BBC to bring it back since London have the Olympics...

[@RogerJJSmith]

In the second round, when two persons answered incorrectly, the third wasn't given an opportunity to answer. Seems a bit unfair. This happened on two occasions.

There were some hot European women on here. Unfortunately the camera was never on them long enough to finish your Barclays bank.

@AidanLunn Yes I knew that anf it flopped big time, however since the BBC had the Olympics it would have been a perfect opportunity for them to bring it back.

Not sure why they thought South Korea (or just Korea, as they put it) was in South-East Asia!

Questions pour un champion

[@anonymousproxy131]

Question one: In English literature, which Scottish person married a Welsh person and said fuck off to all the foreigners because they spoke a different language? BZZZ Hans: Hamish McCuntyface Henry: Correct. Well that didn't work. Thank goodness they hired a question master who sounds like a leprechaun to make this sound like the British like the EU. LOL

[@davidjatt3251]

I'm sure bringing this back is BBC's next desperate move.

[@lewismonkeyboykennedyynwa6745]

Not BBC just you want it back on bitch 🙌

[@danielcherriomkins5280]

It was worse than 'Questions pour un champion'. Why the British not simply adapted the French one?

[@SamHodkin23]

Questions pour un champion came after Going for Gold; both based on a failed US pilot Run for the Money.
