THE GOLDEN SHOT. British TV game show produced by ATV for ITV between 1st July 1967 and 13th April 1975. It was based on the German TV show Der goldene Schuß and had a famous catchphrase "Berni the Bolt". It is most commonly associated with host Bob Monkhouse though three other presenters also hosted the show during its lifetime. Hostess Anne Aston (who appeared to struggle with mental arithmetic) was on hand to read out the scores achieved by the contestants and each month a "Maid of the Month" (usually a glamour model of the era) would demonstrate the prizes and announce the contestants. When Bob Monkhouse returned to present the show in 1974, he was joined by a co-hostess Wei Wei Wong who had been a recent "Bond Girl" and an ex-member of The Young Generation. This was one of the earliest regular appearances by an Oriental woman on British TV.
