Fair Game
Synopsis
It's a game, and it's filmed at a fair. Do you see what they did there? The fair in question was Bob Wilson's Funfair at Morden Park, and the game was It's a Knockout on the cheap.
Rounds included sharp shooting with darts, hook a duck, and a run round all of the sideshows at the fair. They somehow found a winning pair, who tried to ring the bell on a Test Your Weight machine, made easier by answering quiz questions correctly.
Hosts Bill Oddie and Nick Wilton (right) with their glamorous assistants.
A one-off pilot episode, it would have slotted naturally into the Friday night slot vacated by It's a Knockout, but was only good enough for a death slot at 3.30 one cold November Sunday. We never saw it again.
