It's a Royal Knockout: The Untold Story

The true story of how Prince Edward helped formulate a one-off edition of madcap game show It's a Knockout in 1987 with a cast of royalty and celebrities. Intended as a PR coup, it ended in shambles. Weeks of rain had turned the set into a quagmire. Presenter Su Pollard's wellies filled up with mud, Cliff Richard dressed up as a turnip, Gary Lineker got his pants caught in a winch, and Chris de Burgh lost his tights in a pond

It's a Royal Knockout: The Untold Story airs on 5SELECT at 10:00 PM, Thursday 6 March. (Subtitles.)
