Series Guide: 1982 (original) (raw)

It's A Knockout and Jeux Sans Fronti�res come to the end of the line as full series Jeux Sans Fronti�res would return six years later, but without British competitors.

This year�s Domestic series saw a �first� of many things in It�s A Knockout. During the opening credits, previews of the games were shown, with replays shown during the end credits, and there were also picture-in-picture shots during the games.

Another overhaul of the It�s a Knockout scoreboard this year (for the final time) - the flat numbered board scores which were changed by the scoregirls, were replaced by wheeled numbers and were changed by a member of the production crew behind the scoreboard out of eyeshot. This was to give the impression of the scores being changed electronically.

Following Eddie Waring�s departure, It�s A Knockout featured different guest presenters to present the marathon in each programme.
