This site writes about UK Game Shows and they feature the BBC's "It's a Knockout" here:
INTRO: It's a Knockout was the UK version of the pan-European project Jeux Sans Frontières ("Games Without Borders") which was initiated by none other than Charles de Gaulle. The winners of our version went on to represent this esteemed land abroad. Three local teams appeared in the UK show, with around 6 to 8 countries competing in the European finals. The European version of the programme consists of a range of different games, each team sitting out from one each. There is also an on-going event, the Marathon ("Fil Rouge" in European), which is a short game played by the omitted team in-between the main games.... » read more?

INTRO: It's a Knockout, the British version of Jeux Sans Frontières is a team game that was started by none other than French premier Charles de Gaulle. Originally based on a French TV show called Interville he wanted to bring together European countries and increase friendship between them. It was a show that captivated viewers across Europe for more than two decades (and still does in some countries) and was even the inspiration for Peter Gabriel's song 'Games Without Frontiers' - the literal translation of Jeux Sans Frontières.

"Its a Knockout" Wikipedia: The Free Encyclopedia
Wikipedia is the online global phenomenon and public run encyclopedia. WikiPedia has an historic look at "Its a Knockout":
INTRO: It's a Knockout was a popular British television game show. Commentators included Eddie Waring, David Vine and Stuart Hall - who was famous for collapsing into genuine hysterical laughter mid-way through commentating on any particular game on a regular basis. It's a Knockout, which was adapted from the French show Intervilles, ran from 1966 to 1982 and then again from 1999 to 2001. It featured teams, each representing a town or city, competing to complete bizarre tasks in absurd games, generally while dressed in outlandish costumes (often large latex suits). Games were played in the home town's park, with English weather often adding to the entertainment by turning the grassland into a mud bath. Teams would be awarded points for their performance in each round, with the team scoring most points winning the game and advancing to the next stage. Teams could double their points in one round by choosing to "play their Joker". The games were refereed by former international football referee Arthur Ellis, and the theme tune was Bean Bag by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.... » read more?

The Very Best Of It's A Knockout - Here Come The Belgians: Reviewed by "suziesuziejohnson" "This video is fantastic. I bought it as a joke for someone. We both sat and watched it and had to turn it off after 20 minutes. I could not hardly breathe from laughing and he had a pain in his chest from being in hysterics. I have since introduced it to another of my friends and just the thought of the 12 Labours of Hercules sends us both into hysterics. The hydra in particular is one of our favourites. I can watch it over and over again and still be in stitches. The Russian dolls are also fantastic viewing especially when they fall over and the spindly legs of one contestant can be seen frantically trying to regain their balance and stand upright- priceless."... » read more?
