The release of this over at Pandy's site got me thinking how much I miss this awful / superb programme.
Used to love it as a kid. Great Britain knocking lumps out of Johnny Foreigner whilst whizzing around on a rotating disc covered in grease whilst wearing a chicken costume and hurdling fences.
Stuart Hall's laugh as the contestants fell on their arses. The late Eddie Waring appearing and sounding drunk all the time. The lovely looking bird who presented the scoreboard. Seeing GB at the top in almost every international edition. Let's face it. It was the only thing we were ever good at.
I know that it was brought back a few years ago and failed but what the f*** do you expect when you hire Keith "Cheggers" Chegwin as the host. His voice is so high pitched that dogs can't f*****g hear him.
I say it is time....no I DEMAND that this national institution of tomfoolery be brought back to our screens....'cos we ruled the world.
Rule Britannia!!!
It's A Knockout!!!

Yup, they've been showing 1981 editions too.
My daughter (8) loves it & I've been watching it too.
In colour! (We only had B&W when I were a lad)

Took part in a charity It's A Knockout last month. Was very fun even in the rain.
Couple of pics of me in the chicken costume.
