I miss JSF so much. Have seen my last episode live in TV in 1979. Its time for a comeback! In the 70s there was more european community with borders than today without.
I was there in the crowd in 1975. If you look closely at the end of the first game, you will see people in the crowd holding large letters that spell out Darlington. I was holding the last N. I think I'm correct in saying that the GB equipment broke in our Joker game and they wouldn't allow us to start again - no doubt partly because in most European countries (not in the UK) the programme was broadcast live and they couldn't allow additional time. The following day a few of us decided to go along to the hotel where the BBC people were staying. Stuart Hall came down to reception to meet us but Eddie Waring didn't.
Of course our equipment broke! The Germans equipment never broke of course. And the German team was filled with Olympic decathletes unt red faced hefty Frauleins.
What happened to the world where shows like this became obsolete? Is it because people became less relevant in favour of shows geared to so called celebrities? or is it because it didn't fit the political narrative (divide and conquer) as opposed to.... Jeux sans frontières = "Games Without Borders"
C'est imaginé dans l'enthousiasme régional et avant l'arrivée des jeux de fric stressants it's imagined in regional enthusiasm and before influenced American super champion dollars entertainments
The game with with the bull that floors the mushrooms, at 25-ish mins, has anyone played a mini- game in Mario Party, yeah this is 1975, anyone for a game of Pong? Hilarious!
A huge part of my preteen and early teen years. First David Vine, then Stuart "Look at the Germans, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha". Eddie Waring and his feeeeeeel roooog. GB were usually shit, as demonstrated in the first game, completely wasting the joker. The British referee, a ridiculous Northern person called Arthur Ellis in the UK heats, Daaarlintun 4 points, with the joker, dooble it up tuh 7.
@@cwsportradio5625 yes, I knew he was a referee, but he came across as a bit of an officious wally. He very much reminds me of the elephant keeper from "ooooooh, get off me foot" fame.
i wish that we can see, in future, another series of jeux sans frontiers!!! but my strongest wish is that we european stand strong together, as a Union of europeans brothers and sisters! I know, the EU has many flaws and problems with all this bureaucracy. We should change a lot of regulations, and make it simpler for every Citizen, worker and entrepreneur. But please please we must stand together! don't let the Euroscepticists destroy our Great Union! We are one of the greatest, if not the greatest, economic powers of the world! Sadly GB is gone, but dont listen to people like Farage,Le Pen, Salvini, Petri, and all those politicians! We must stay united, and we must work for an even better European Union! First of all, since our Union we never had any war between members! And second: if we wanna stay competitive with superpowers like USA, RUSSIA; CINA etc. we have to stay united!

Brilliant, I wish Europe was still this much fun 😁
It is, as long as you're not in Brexit addled Britain
@@MrXyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz good way to prove your not...
its not easy as in former times. A united and strong Europe is not good for Putins and Trumps
Still sends a tingle down the spine, Gennaro Olivieri and Guido Pancaldi!

Two Swiss judges in Switzerland
Great picture quality!
Brilliant memories.
Never quite sure why these always seemed to be held at night.
European unity at its best.
The 1970`s and 1980`s was great years for this show in the 1990`s and on the show just went down hill, for it lost it`s feeling.
So true.

This is what the EU should have been about. A bit of fun, but once the competition was over everyone went home until the next summer.
The EU isn't a competition though.
Will we have new vídeos soon?
How many games are their in each episode?
From a Genesis video to this?
Can you also upload the 1975 Mannheim heat?
I have watched this in the 90s
Great memories ~I always supported Germany as a kid they always seemed to win.
I have watched this and I have no idea what it was about. It is nuts
Belgium ALWAYS came last. So who the hell put them in charge of Europe?
I think there's something in that for us all.
The game with with the bull that floors the mushrooms, at 25-ish mins, has anyone played a mini- game in Mario Party, yeah this is 1975, anyone for a game of Pong? Hilarious!
Oh dear me no, this is not how I remember it at all! The Germans screwing up their joker!
Would this still work in 2020? Probably not but it was great entertainment
plans where in place to resume it in 2019 and 2020. but . . . yea . . .

Arthur Ellis was a former football referee who had officiated in the World Cup so was a name

the greatest show of the 70s, we loved this
Stuart Hall commentating... Doesn't sound so good now. Given what we know, now. Still. The show was allways brilliant.
I agree, but having said that, there was never anyone better at Knockout than Stuart Hall and of course dear old Eddie Waring.
Richie Y-W True!
now we see through the illusion.... Panzers in pantomime.... .
