Television show in the sixties...

Featured Replies

Can someone remember the title/name of a sixties television show/program featuring competitive, athletic type of activities, with creative challenging games ? -Not standard sports-

I remember little as being black and white; same exact era Shindig! was aired; usually took place in stadiums, participants were mostly teams of universities? or countries. By some reason I think Germany had some to do with it, but unsure.

"It's a Knockout"? That kept going well into the 70s/80s.

 

There was "We are the Champions" too, but that was a kids thing and was between schools, not countries.


The more I think about it, it could have been "It's a knockout" as they definitely had international events as well as local ones.

the Euro original was called Jeux Sans Frontières it was rebranded as It's a Knockout for xenophobic and overly competitive Blighty

 

And cos you cannae have enough ...

Thanks all. Your helpful clues helped searching, seems the tournament program could had been "Jeux sans frontières" if not the German "Telematch"
