Charity Specials
Two charity specials were made in the 1980s. 1987 saw The Grand Knockout Tournament, featuring four teams of celebrities, each figureheaded by a member of the British royal family. The event, held at the Alton Towers theme park, was widely derided as a failure, particularly in terms of public perception of the royal family.
Nevertheless, 1988 brought It's a Charity Knockout. Games took place around Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, and featured celebrity teams representing the UK, USA, and Australia.
