The cheerful ladies also sang songs, chatted with the host and took part in some quizzes as contestants.
They took off all their clothes except for underpants and stockings, generally. A bunch of pretty ladies from all over Europe, called 'ragazze Cin Cin' ('cheers' girls), or 'Bandierine' ('small flag' girls) or by other funny names, danced to the music unveiling their breasts. Naturally, the 'main course' of the show were the exhibitions of the strippers. It was a game show, but the quizzes were mostly the occasion for comedic relief by host Umberto Smaila - a well-know face in the Eighties, formerly a member of the cabaret group 'I gatti di vicolo Miracoli'. 'Colpo grosso', Italian for 'big shot', brought strip-tease to Italian television.
