Team Personnel

Not Team Personnel as such, but why the Kingaroy Peanuts took their nutty name: Kingaroy is renowned for its peanut production. Also known as the 'Peanut Capital', Kingaroy boasts Australia's largest peanut processing plant in its city centre. Peanut silos dominate the town's skyline and roadside stalls sell fresh peanuts in every flavour imaginable.

Additional Information

This was a fabulous performance from the Kingaroy Peanuts team, with five game wins from seven and a second place. They managed to amass twice the points of their nearest rival (22pts to 20pts) and outscore the total score of their three rival teams (22pts to 20pts)!

There was a scoreboard error after Game 6 - 'Time Bombs' - which ended with two teams (NSW and VIC) tied for second place and scoring 1pt each. The scoreboard operators erroneously added 2pts to the Victoria score making them 4pts instead of the correct 3pts at that stage. By the time the programme returned from its commercial break ahead of the last game, this error had been spotted and the scoreboard corrected.

After the results had been announced, the guest referee Mark Warren was to be seen holding the programme's mascot, an Old English Sheepdog called Combat. Maybe he was distracted by the weight of the animal, but Mark called him Mascot rather than Combat!

Returning Teams and Competitors

Final winners Diamond Valley Devils (Victoria) would return in later It's A Knockout series but would be known subsequently as Eltham.

Additional Information

This programme comprised six games rather than the normal seven. The winners received a cheque for $20,000 which would be donated to the charity of their choice.

As the series had been such a ratings winner for Channel Ten, repeats of the 1985 series of It's A Knockout started the following week in the same slot!
