Man O Man

Man O Man was a British game show based on a popular German format, which ran from 4 May 1996 to 7 August 1999, hosted by Chris Tarrant. The first series was produced by Richard Hearsey who previously produced another show hosted by Tarrant called Prove It!. The first series was recorded at Twickenham Film Studios during the winter of 1995 and aired in 1996. The show was given another shot in 1998 with 2 one-off specials and a second series in 1999, both being recorded at The Fountain Studios. One of the hostesses in the first series, Tracey McAndrew later changed her stage name to Nell McAndrew and went on to co-host the re-make of It's a Knockout! for Channel 5, again working with Richard Hearsey as producer but was produced by Ronin Entertainment.
