The Grand Knockout Tournament (colloquially
The Grand Knockout Tournament (colloquially also known as It's a Royal Knockout) was a one-off charity event which was shown on British television on 19 June 1987. It followed the format of It's a Knockout (the British version of Jeux Sans Frontieres), a slapstick TV gameshow which was broadcast in the UK until 1982.
The event was staged on the lakeside lawn of the Alton Towers stately home-cum-theme park. However, the event used its own specially created immersing set, meaning that the location was not very recognisable in the TV broadcast.
Although regarded as a failure, a similar show (without royal involvement) was made the following year at Walt Disney World in Florida, featuring teams of celebrities representing the UK, USA, and Australia.
[edit] SynopsisThe show featured members of the British Royal Family alongside various sporting and showbiz celebrities. The celebrities included:
Jane Seymour
John Travolta
Mel Smith
Christopher Reeve
Michael Palin
Ben Cross
Sheena Easton
Barbara Windsor
Tom Jones
Fiona Fullerton
Meat Loaf
George Lazenby
Kevin Kline
John Cleese
Rowan Atkinson
Cliff Richard

Gary Lineker
Duncan Goodhew
Emlyn Hughes
Margot Kidder

Jennifer O'Neill

The show was conceived and organised by Prince Edward, who had been keen to develop a career in TV and theatre after he left the Royal Marines. The show featured Prince Edward, the Princess Royal and the Duke and Duchess of York as non participating team captains, each of whom supported a different charity. The show was hosted by Stuart Hall, Les Dawson and Su Pollard. The contestants competed in ridiculous and somewhat humiliating games; for example in one round they dress up as giant vegetables and throw fake hams at each other. Media coverage on BBC Radio 1 was provided by Mike Smith (The Breakfast Show) and Steve Wright (The Radio 1 Roadshow). The show was produced by Alan Walsh.
