  The show inspired Peter Gabriel's 1980 hit single, "Games Without Frontiers" (the direct English translation of the title), in which backing vocalist Kate Bush sings "jeux sans frontières" during breaks. The lyrics also refer to title of the BBC version of the show, It's a Knockout.
  The last album of the popular Macedonian pop singer Toše Proeski is named Games without borders (in Macedonian Cyrillic: Игри Без Граници).
  The Endeavour episode "Quartet" (series 5, episode 5) features a fictional 1968 Jeux sans frontières competition held in Oxford, broadcast by Southern Independent Television (rather than the BBC).
  The show was a major component of The Goodies episode, "The Goodies and the Beanstalk".
  In Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights, the company that supplies the club with many of the fruit machines (including a Das Boot version that only pays out in Deutsche Marks) and other assorted gaming paraphernalia is called Jeux Sans Frontières.
