Newcastle Herald
Tuesday February 19, 2008
What: Hosted by Billy J. Smith and Fiona MacDonald, It's a Knockout was a television program that had ordinary Australians representing their states (Victoria, NSW, South Australia and Queensland) as they battled it out in a range of wacky physical contests to claim victory.
When: It's a Knockout screened on Channel 10 between 1985 and 1988.Why: What could be better than watching what was essentially a glorified school sports carnival for adults?Chances of revival: Big Brother has styled the program's Friday Night Live show on It's A Knockout, so that's as close as fans will get to the real thing. There is also a petition doing the rounds online to revive It's A Knockout.
