Love watching the show when I was young and never fail to tune in everytime. [:)]

 

Telematch was the name of a German television show broadcast during the 1970s till 1979 and based on its French counterpart Intervilles. It first consisted of a match between teams from two German towns (but the last matches were between five towns). The match was composed of several games. For each game the participants would typically dress up in costume. Often the costumes were elaborate and designed to increase the challenge of the game by making movement awkward. Games were played against the clock, or as a race. Telematch was produced by Transtel Cologne. It was dubbed into English, Hindi, Arabic, French and Spanish.

 

It was shown in Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Venezuela, Bolivia, Paraguay, Peru, Costa Rica, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Panama, Dominican Republic, Nigeria, Middle East, India, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Uruguay as well as in various South East Asian and Caribbean nations and probably other places as well. A total of 43 episodes were made before production was halted. [:(]

 

In Spain between 1995 to 2007 TVE broadcast a show like Telematch called El Gran Prix del Verano with the same format.

 

Currently is being shown again in Paraguay. And it is still being shown in India and gets a good viewership. [laugh]

i remember. it was always competition between towns. damn nice. too bad no more.

 

there was another show (cartoon) but i cannot remember the name. the characters are like plastercine and they form a family which gets into some sticky situations. also broadcasted in the 70s.
