In-4, brossura, in buono stato di conservazione. In questo numero: "Fuori programma! Durante uno spettacolo a Lisbona, un serpente portato sulla scena per un numero di varieta scattava come una molla contro il suggeritore e gli si attorcigliava al collo. A stento la domatrice riusciva a liberare il poveraccio dalla terribile stretta. Passato lo spavento generale lo spettacolo riprendeva, ma il suggeritore aveva perduto la voce.." "Due innamorati sostano nell'atrio oscuro di una casa, a Roma. Ad un tratto uno sconosciuto entra dal portone, intravvede le ombre e pensa alla presenza di ladri. Lo stesso sospetto colpisce i due innamorati. Intimazioni e minacce s'incrociano nel buio, finché i due uomini si lanciano l'uno contro l'altro, azzuffandosi. Qualche inquilino interviene armato di una lampadina tascabile. E il giovanotto - ahime - riconosce nell'avversario nientemeno che il padre della ragazza, il futuro suocero.. Allora con ammirevole faccia tosta lo aiuta a rialzarsi, gli spolvera la giacca e gli domanda ufficialmente la mano della ragazza..".

Il più spettacolare dei giochi e quello affidato a due telespettatori in coppia, rappresentanti la mente l'uno, il braccio l'altro. Se il primo, sottoposto a domande di carattere culturale, sbaglia la risposta, entra in azione il secondo, il quale rimette in campo il compagno battuto, esibendosi in una disciplina sportiva. Davanti al presentatore Enzo Tortora vediamo la mente Corradini, interrogato sui funghi, e il braccio il sollevatore di pesi Massei." "E' morto Toscanini. Il più grande direttore d'orchestra del secolo si è spento, a 89 anni, nella sua villa di Riverdale (Nuova York), lontano dall'Italia che amo quanto la musica. La scomparsa del Maestro ha suscitato vivissima impressione e profondo cordoglio in tutto il mondo. Qui noi lo vediamo mentre, già vecchio, guida da un invisibile podio una delle sue meravigliose esecuzioni e già sembra che il coro e le trombe degli angeli gli facciano eco dai cieli.".
