Celebrity Circus airs this week. I love those old shows from the 70s. I also like new things – like a show coming on this summer that is based on all those wacky Japanese game shows that we’ve all see on You Tube.
While we were in Disney I asked my mom if she remembered a show we saw when I was in high school that involved the British royal family doing Olde English stunts like jousting and races in middle ages costumes. It was charity event that I remember watching with great fondness.
My mother actually found some old clips – sadly, they don’t do the show justice since they don’t feature the royals (they do, however, feature Walter Payton).
It was called “It’s a knockout!” and the Royals were only on it once, for charity. Normally it was just regular folks willing to be made fools to win some prizes. Totall fluff, but fun!
