Look at this vastly superior Dutch version of In the Night Garden.

A sure-fire Eurovision contender! :D

But think about the poor ducks, won't any one think about the poor ducks?

It's Sunday, it's twenty past seven and it's... ... Crackerjack!

On BBC4 tonight. With Peter Glaze & Ed "Stewpot" Stewart, Jan Hunt & Bernie Clifton.

Digi box already set - just a shame it's not a B&W one with Eamonn Andrews, which I remember watching.

Stu Francis for me

Ooh I could crush a grape

Worst
Catchphrase
Ever

? I think it's quite funny

When I was a kid in Bolton he was the only 'famous' Boltonian

Except for Fred Dibnah!

Love Fred! What a character!!

Leslie Crowther was there in my day. But as long as Peter Glaze is there I don't mind. Mastered the exclamation Doh long before the Simpsons were ever thought of.

Peter Glaze pops up in one episode of The Sweeny. As an on course bookmaker I recall.

And Kenneth Connor, but the founder of that was the L&H nemesis James Finlayson

AND, you Fat Owl, appeared as Jim in the 1961 "Hunter-Bunter" episode (1961) .apparently - No, I didn't know that either.

Series 1 Episode 11 "Big Spender" as Joe Spratt in 1975

And in a film I watched recently, but I'll be blowed if I can remember which one now.

Yes, Question 9 in my first Hancock quiz

9/. In "The Bowmans", who voiced the dog?

Percy Edwards
Peter Glaze
Eric Sykes
Peter Sellers
Hugh Lloyd

Quite enjoyed the Crackerjack, even if it wasn't my era, and was surprised at how much they crammed into it, what with the opening routine and various amusing sketches, which the kids seemed to enjoy, or was that canned laughter, he asked cynically.

We'll wash over the Double or Drop, which was a bit toe curling

And a bit weird seeing a young Bernie Clifton
