A TV classic, It’s A Knockout, which first aired in the 1960s and once featured members of the Royal family has enjoyed a bizarre revival at a teenage prison in Wetherby
Wags have renamed what's happening as 'It’s A Nickout'.
Bosses at HMYOI Wetherby which is dedicated to trying to turn young lives around decided the BBC game show which attracted 19 million viewers in the 1970s might be a great way of teaching team-building in a fun way.
The lads have to scale obstacle courses and practise silly stunts, the Mirror reports.
When it was first screened in 1966 all of the young lags were a long way off from being born but a prison insider said despite their unfamiliarity with the show's format they got stuck in enthusiastically.
A source said: “It’s not what you might expect behind prison walls but these days bosses have to try anything to get the young men to behave.
“Once everyone realised what was going on they all got into the spirit of things.”
