1986 was a barren year for British and European competition, although the Intervilles series continued in France, transferring from the France 3 channel to TF1.

Meanwhile, in Australia, the Channel Ten version of It's A Knockout enjoyed another popular year, also spawning four celebrity specials throughout 1986.
