''Jeux Sans Frontières'' ((英語:''Games Without Frontiers'', or Games Without Borders)) was a Europe-wide television game show. In English-speaking countries, the show is also known as ''It's a Knockout'', the title of the BBC's domestic version. In its original conception, it was broadcast from 1965 to 1999 under the auspices of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and featured teams from different European countries in outlandish costumes (often large latex suits) competing to complete bizarre tasks in funny games. The original series run ended in 1982. It was revived in 1988 with a different complexion of nations and was hosted by smaller broadcasters, with the notable exception of RAI, which hosted three edition with a fixed location in 1996, 1998, 1999. ==History== The idea of the show came from French President Charles de Gaulle, whose wish was that French and German youth would meet in a series of funny games to reinforce the friendship between France and Germany. The games were inspired by the matches between French cities. Some games were played in swimming pools. In 1965, three French men (Pedro Brive, Claude Savarit, and Jean-Louis Marest) spread the idea of the games to other European countries. Teams representing France, Germany, Belgium, and Italy took part in the first edition of the show called ''Inter Nations Games''.〔(http://www.chez.com/jeuxsansfrontieres ) (missing content)〕 In the United Kingdom, participants came from the heats of ''It's a Knockout''. The original presenter was McDonald Hobley, but he stayed for just one season before handing over to Katie Boyle, who in turn was replaced by David Vine and Eddie Waring. It was not until 1971 that the presenter most associated with the role, Stuart Hall, took over presenting the UK heats and also provided the British commentary for the international version along with Waring, who was better known as the BBC's Rugby League commentator. Wales had its own team between 1991 and 1994 and the programme was broadcast on S4C in Welsh by Iestyn Garlick. Each participating country hosted one round of the games, presented by the host broadcaster. Every game was umpired by one or two "international" judges. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jeux Sans Frontières」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
