The stretch of the Thames that runs through the fabulous Mapledurham Estate sparkled in the blistering summer sunshine, setting the scene for perfectly for a fun-filled and frantic afternoon of It's a Knockout entertainment with Channel 5 Broadcasting.

The excited and eager group from Channel 5 Broadcasting, fully clad in team colours, stepped off their arrival boats and cast there eye across the grounds, taking in all the It's a Knockout fun and games that lay in wait for them. This was sure to be a fantastic day of fun and hilarity, and right from the kick-off, the It's a Knockout entertainment did not disappoint! The teams prepared to do battle across a number of wild and wacky games, races and inflatable events, all in a bid to score enough points to reach the finale and play off for the much coveted Team Challenge Company Winners Trophy!

The two It's a Knockout arenas provided fast and furious action right throughout the afternoon, as some of the most competitive people we have ever met raced for glory. The highlight of the It's a Knockout zones was undoubtedly the super-crazy,super-wet Space Hopper Dash, which saw contestants dive into a paddling pool of water to find hidden treasure...who can forget Dwayne's sensational somersault - what a legend! The inflatable zone also saw plenty of fun-filled action right throughout the afternoon, as teams reached for gold on the Bungee Run, faced-off in the Sumo Suits, did battle on the Gladiator Duel, and rode the waves on the Deluxe Surf Simulator.

With the scores checked and verified, the time had come for the almighty It's a Knockout Grand Finale, and what do you think it was...? The Space Hopper Dash, of course! The Blue F's and the Pink I's played out the final race of the day, and there could only be one winner. Stepping up to be crowned It's a Knockout Champs and lift the Team Challenge Company Winners Trophy high above their heads was the sensational, unstoppable, unbelieveable Pink I Team!

A fantastic day of It's a Knockout entertainment had been enjoyed by all, and we hope that everybody walked away with fabulous memories of their afternoon of fun-filled hilarity. A big thank-you must go to Mark for his hard work and commitment to organising such a successful day of It's a Knockout fun, the event was a complete credit to your organisation. Everybody from Channel 5 Broadcasting were a real pleasure to work with, and we at Team Challenge Company certainly look forward to seeing you again sometime soon.
What a pleasure it was to work with such a fun group from Channel 5 Broadcasting, their high energy and enthusiasm (maybe even over-enthusiasm when it came to the paddling pool) really made this It's a Knockout Event an extra special one!
I sincerely hope everybody thoroughly enjoyed their day with us, and I hope to have the opportunity to work with you all again in the near future, even if it is just to see Dwayne and his incredible acrobatic skills!
Wishing you all luck in the coming weeks and months, Jonny
