Is going for gold based on a true story? Going For Gold 9. Going For Gold Grand Final. Going For Gold Background. Each edition began with a short general knowledge round to all seven contestants. Out of the contestants who Tournament Format Original Run. It was revived for Channel 5 from 13 October to 20 March European quiz show. This "Euroquiz" was both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because its production values were at least twice that of any similar show in a BBC daytime quiz slot.
A curse because it hung around for far more series than it really deserved, varying the format with precisely no innovations during its long run and preventing any new shows coming to air. Contestants from the various parts of Europe - well, those that spoke English, anyway - flew to Elstree or, in later series, Manchester to appear on a show produced by Australian-owned Reg Grundy to be asked questions by Irishman for a holiday in somewhere like Seoul.
Now you may have already spotted the significant home advantage in being asked a question in a familiar studio, in your mother tongue by someone with a not very straightforward accent. Quotes Presenter : Olaf, you're playing catch up. User reviews 4 Review. Top review. Silly and cheesy daytime TV. This was once a lunchtime favourite and indeed the idea was repeated in another game show years later I forget the name expect without the European element. It was all very entertaining but the European thing made it feel very cheesy.
The grand prize was always grand but so very far away in terms of number of shows you had to go through to get it. The rounds idea was clever but it didn't really have anything special and was never able to climb out of being a daytime TV show to be prime time. Henry Kelly was a so-so host with one major flaw - his accent.
It's difficult enough for me from Northern Ireland to get every word he says in his thick Irish brogue, but for contestants from all over Europe to have to come to Britain and understand him made it extra difficult for those not from GB. Any European who won deserved it because they were doing it in their second or third language and working past the accent as well!
Overall, just another daytime TV game show that came and went - cringe-worthy sometime due to the cheesiness of the host and the ability of our European brothers! Minute Winner can also be shown either as a morning program, afternoon program or evening access prime time program. Nothing came of this pitch. However, several years later, Banner became aware of the Danish version of the NBC show Minute to Win It , which had been licensed by Friday TV and produced in many different countries around the world.
After multiple unsuccessful attempts by BUMP to pursue action for infringement in the Swedish courts, Mr Banner turned his hopes towards the English legal system, commencing a claim in the High Court in May Banner argued that copyright subsisted in the document in which the proposal for Minute Winner was contained. Though Snowden J refused to provide precise conditions to be satisfied before a television format can be protected as a dramatic work, he noted that Green v Broadcasting Corporation of New Zealand [] could be interpreted as requiring two overarching aspects to be met:.
In addition, Snowden J noted that the Minute Winner document was very unclear and lacking in specifics; for example, it failed to identify or prescribe:. Though the claimant was not successful in this particular case, the judgment of Snowden J in Banner Universal Motion Pictures v Endemol Shine Group [] is significant: the court explicitly recognised that the format of a television show, if the above two-step test is satisfied, may qualify as a dramatic work and receive copyright protection.
It is arguable that a combination of the inverse of these failures could provide future claimants with a reasonable chance of achieving protection. Comparing the pitch for Minute Winner with the above criteria, it is evident why the format for Minute Winner was not protected. A mere uncertain skeleton of a concept was provided within the Minute Winner document, containing only vague proposals and unremarkable ideas. The judgment of Snowden J in Banner Universal Motion Pictures v Endemol Shine Group [] confirms the suspicions of many production companies in regards to the value of format bibles: they can provide the level of expression necessary in order to require copyright protection in the original idea for a show.
As demonstrated by the above judgment, however, it seems such documents will be held to a rather high standard in terms of clarity and detail. It is probable the judgment in Banner Universal Motion Pictures v Endemol Shine Group [] will be met with praise: it represents a welcome movement away from the restrictive and highly-criticised approach of Green v Broadcasting Corporation of New Zealand [] , which, as argued by Ute Klement, failed to recognise the creative input required by television shows and thus did not provide sufficient incentives for producers to create new work.
Ideally, they will align with and expand upon the judgment of Snowden J in Banner Universal Motion Pictures v Endemol Shine Group [] — whether they will, though, remains to be seen.
