Episode 1:

In the first episode of this series, Josh Widdicombe and comedian and friend Matthew Crosby discuss the incredible story of 'It's a Royal Knockout'

The year is 1987…

And in Britain, disaster is lurking at every turn…

The stock market crash…

The worst storm to hit Southern England in centuries…

And Margaret Thatcher winning a third term...

But none of them compare to what was arguably the worst PR mistake of the decade…

A TV show, produced by an inexperienced British Prince,

where members of the royal family and a motley crew of celebrities compete against each other in poorly devised and executed games to a huge global audience…

And yes, it’s every bit as bad and hilarious as it sounds...

Prince Edward, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Fergie - Duchess of York, all joined forces and battled with celebrities such as John Travolta, Tom Jones, Cliff Richard and Meatloaf in a TV disaster seen by 400 million people worldwide…

The show turned the nation's view on the Royal family in such a negative way, it has never recovered since…

This is the incredible story of ‘It’s a Royal Knockout’
