Season chronology |
The 14th season of the international television game show Jeux sans frontières was held in the summer of 1978. Broadcasters from Belgium, France, Italy, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, West Germany, and, for the first time, Yugoslavia participated in the competition coordinated by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), while the Netherlands withdrew due to their broadcaster showing the heats on a delayed basis, and many of its viewers were watching them live on Belgian television.[1] The different heats were hosted by each of the participant broadcasters in locations in their countries such as Verbania (Italy), Rochefort (Belgium), Grömitz (West Germany), Zemun (Yugoslavia), Bourgoin-Jallieu (France), Arosa (Switzerland), and Lincoln (United Kingdom). The grand final was held in Montecatini Terme (Italy). The head international referees in charge of supervising the competition were Gennaro Olivieri and Guido Pancaldi .[2][3]
The season was won by the team from Abano Terme, Italy, the runner-up being the team from Sandwell, United Kingdom.[4]
