Programme Number: LMAW956T

Notes:

A theme night visiting the worst of television's past. While Knockout fans might have been mildly narked that their beloved show was described in this way, this 17 minute programme did showcase some wonderful clips from the sixteen year history of It's A Knockout. Focusing mainly on the British Domestic series of 1967, 1968 and 1975, the show featured clips from heats staged at Galashiels (1967), Cheltenham Spa (1968), Plymouth (1968), Ely (1973), St. Ives (1975), Swansea (1975), Onchan (1975), Stanley (1975), Gourock (1975), Southsea (1975), Cambridge (1975) and Stoke-on-Trent (1976). Presented by Stuart Hall.
