The Grand Knockout Tournament

The Grand Knockout Tournament, also known as It's a Royal Knockout, aired on June 19, 1987, as a one-off charity event on British television. The event followed the style of the earlier It's a Knockout game show, known for its humorous and chaotic competitions.

Set against the picturesque backdrop of Alton Towers, this 79-minute production brings together a variety of well-known figures from British culture, including John Cleese, Rowan Atkinson, and members of the royal family. The blend of celebrity participation and charity makes it a distinctive piece of television history.
