The Visiting Teams

The Celebrities team comprised of famous (and not-so-famous) faces from the worlds of television, film, sport and entertainment.

The Rest of the World team also comprised participants from television, film, sport and entertainment.

Presenters, Officials and Production Team

Regular It's A Knockout scoregirls Tracy Dodds and Roz Tranfield traded their usual roles to become team members, with Tracy joining the Rest of the World team and Roz playing for The Lord's Taverners. Despite Jean Kelly being the only regular scoregirl doing her normal job in this programme, Dodds, Kelly and Tranfield were all credited as scoregirls in the end titles, possibly due to a contractual agreement.

Additional Information

The appearance by former Top of the Pops dancers Pan's People was perhaps a little odd, as the troupe had recorded their last routine on the music show in April 1976 and had been replaced by Legs and Co. For It's A Celebrity Knockout, the dancers were billed as Dee Dee Wilde's Pan's People, the name of the post Top of the Pops incarnation of the group, which comprised Patricia 'Dee Dee' Wilde, Pauline Crawford, Abigail Higgins, Patricia McSherry, Francesca Whitburn and Sarah Woollett. Singer Sarah Brightman was also briefly a member of the troupe during this period but was more famously a member of Arlene Phillips' Hot Gossip.
