A popular European game show that features contestants taking part in wacky challenges -- from real bull fights to bungee stunts -- is headed for the U.S. market under a licensing deal inked by indie outfit the Television Syndication Co. (TVS). Known as It's a Knockout in the United Kingdom and Intervilles in France, the show will be dubbed The Ultimate Challenge for the U.S. market. The format originated in France in the 1970s as Jeux Sans Frontieres (Games Without Borders) and became a pan-European TV event with teams from numerous countries competing against one another. Under the deal inked by Orlando-based TVS with France's Upside Television and Mistral Production, TVS gets U.S. production and distribution rights to the show as well as distribution rights of the U.S. version for several European territories. The program airs in local versions in France, Germany, Portugal, Spain, China and other territories.
