Student Freshers Have A Knockout Time

The Hartlepool Mail reports that 1000 local first year students at East Durham College took part in a massive It’s A Knockout event recently.

The students competed against each other in a range of team challenges including massive air-filled courses, inflatable demolition balls, nets, a bungee run and paintballing, as well as seven-a-side football, pancake throwing, penalty shoot-out and crossbar challenge. Sounds like great Team Building Fun!

Army recruitment teams from Catterick, Newcastle and the Rifles, Durham, helped to run the event and also supplied a number of pieces of apparatus.

‘Tis rumoured my friends that the good old BBC are looking to make a nostalgic programme about the good old 1976 It’s A Knockout TV Game… can’t wait !!

The Huddersfield Daily has more about this on their news web site.

RECENT: The Radio Times talked to MasterChef presenter and judge Greg Wallace who when asked: “What show would you bring back?”

Replied:  It’s a Knockout. You weren’t here in the 70s, John, but picture this: people dressed as chimps attached to a wire on a greasy track, trying to knock things over while giants throw things at them – it was just brilliant!
