“A zany reprise of the 1981 series of
It’s A Knockout and Jeux Sans
Frontičres and a preview of 1982. Remember and enjoy again the drunken
waiters, the Portuguese crows, the wrestling Swiss cows, and the final,
culminating in an exciting victory for Dartmouth. Stuart Hall presents the
programme, and is joined by some of last year’s competitors, who re-live again
their moments of triumph and anguish.” (Radio Times magazine)

BEST OF KNOCKOUT |
|
BBC1 Transmission (GB): Thursday 30th December 1982, 6.00-6.50pm
Programme Number: NMRK216L |
|
Notes: |
|
A
retrospective produced to mark the end of It's A Knockout and Jeux
Sans Frontičres. This was a last minute replacement for the IAK
Christmas special, Trio, which had to be ditched due to technical
problems. For this reason, it is a hurriedly re-edited version of 1979's Look Back and Laugh - The Best of It's A Knockout. New sequences were
added with Stuart Hall giving a brief tour of BBC Manchester's props store,
where many of the IAK costumes and props were kept. In this location,
Hall recorded new links to replace those from Look Back and Laugh,
which he had co-presented with Eddie Waring (who had of course left the series
in 1981).
Presenter: Stuart Hall
Videotape Editors: John Sillitto, Rob McKie, Phil Warren, Les Matthews,
John Rothwell
Television Presentation: Alan Wright and Alan Walsh |
