What happens

We Are the Champions is a children's game show that ran from 13 June 1973 to 25 July 1995. It was originally presented by Ron Pickering but, when he died in 1991, Gary Lineker, Linford Christie and Judy Simpson took over as presenters of the remaining one-off specials. The programme was formatted around a traditional British school sports day, where children would compete in various athletics and swimming competitions. Each programme concluded with Pickering shouting to the children ""Away Y' Go" at which point they would all run and jump/dive into the swimming pool as the titles ran. In March 2010, We Are the Champions was revived as part of the BBC's Sport Relief programming. It was hosted by Paddy McGuinness with team captains Tim Henman, Amir Khan, Dame Kelly Holmes and Mark Foster. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
