Spiel ohne Grenzen

I watched this show for years on BBC1 on a Friday knight and it was great entertainment. The cream of the teams who won the heats of the local version of it's a Knock out come together to battle it out to be crowned the champions of a more entertaining Euro pantomime version of the Olympics. The teams usually dressed in outrageous, movement denying costumes compete against one another in crazy physical games to the joy of the hosts and viewers. I'm sure the local hospitals were kept busy as many of the obstacles looked dangerous to navigate, but it made great TV.
