The programme, now settled into its uniform layout and format, brought British
viewers elation and joy and the country’s third Jeux Sans Frontières
victory with Ely being invincible both at home
and on the continent. Their impressive demolition of Hertford in their
Domestic Heat lead to them winning the Radio Times Trophy as the
winning team with the highest points score (and the largest winning margin
ever in It's A Knockout). In winning their Domestic Heat, followed by
triumphs in their International Heat and the International Final, Ely joined
West German teams Bardenberg (1967), Osterholz-Scharmbeck (1968) and Wolfsburg
(1969) in having won the Jeux Sans Frontières Golden Trophy completely
undefeated.
This was the first year that the opening animated credits ended with the
European map showing the hosting country and the venue's location on screen.
This was to remain the norm until the end of the first phase of the programme
in 1982.
