Wacaday (summer 1991) - FULL EPISODE
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ย. 2024
- The gold mines of South Africa are the subject of this, the penultimate episode of Wacaday from the 1991 summer holidays. (So that makes the original bradcast date either late August or early September of that year, I suppose, but I can't be more specific than that - anyone?) Timmy Mallett is aided by Jacqueline Sharpe of Oakham and Dominic (from somewhere I can't make out - possibly Horsham, as suggested in the comments) throughout the usual fun and mayhem.
One of the disappointments of this series is that it's after Mallett's Mallett was "sanitised" - that is, Timmy strikes the device besides the contestants rather than their heads. I remember the media pressure before that change was made after reports of children up and down the country whacking each other; I also remember being incredulous. We kids aren't that stupid, thought young me. Then not long after I went to visit my cousins. "Did you see Wacaday this morning?" asked I.
"We're not allowed to watch it anymore," came the dismayed reply.
"Whyever not?" I pressed.
"Because I smashed [younger brother] over the head with a piece of wood playing Mallett's Mallett."
Sigh.
In defence of children in general, it's got to be said that some of the stuff that viewers made and sent in was really impressive. Are kids still just as talented today? I'd like to think so, but I wonder whether the modern-day equivalents of Wacaday (if there's such a thing) inspire their creativity as much as back then. I suspect not.
Incidentally, halfway through there are some vintage ads for you to enjoy: Monster in My Pocket, Monster Munch, Frosties, Care Bears, and Ribena, to be precise. And now I fancy a packet of Monster Munch, which I haven't had in well over a decade.
Huge thanks must go to Neil for providing this recording. You can view his fantastic Sooty-related channel here: / thesootyshoworg - highly recommended.

Timmy made a surprise appearance at my 40th birthday party a few months ago and everybody loved him. He played Mallett’s Mallet with the guests and had my sisters dancing to Itsy Bitsy. He’s a really cool guy and despite how bonkers he comes across, he’s actually very intelligent. Hasn’t changed at all since Wacaday!
Every single word of this makes me happy.
VideotapeFTW you can view it here th-cam.com/video/Fl2vo-kXAvg/w-d-xo.html
HAHA! Mate, I loved this story. Absolutely golden.
What an experience that must've been. 🙌
That's awesome! Did you get a plaster on yer chi!
OMG!!!! Thank you thank you thank you to VideotapeFTW for posting this! THIS IS ME!!!!!! I haven't seen this for years and years and have misplaced my video tape of it! I thought it was lost for ever and now, by a random chance today, I check this link and it's me!!!!!! THANK YOU! xxxx Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! (I'm Jacqueline Sharpe) :0)
AMAZING.
That's amazing! Were you star struck meeting Timmy Mallet? I used to watch this religiously as a child, always wanted to go on it too, just to be part of mallet's mallett lol BLEERRGGHH!
Jacqueline Guthrie that’s brilliant delighted for you 😀would have been a shame to loose it!
Wow i bet you were happy when you found this video and what an experience - this is one of the good things about TH-cam. I remember watching this daily as a kid:)
Brilliant! You sound delighted to see it again. My 5 year old daughter has just watched this all the way through! Follow Timmy Mallett on Twitter or similar, he hasn't changed a bit!
After just the first five minutes, you can quite clearly understand why kids of the 90's LOVED this show....including me of course. Budgies flying around the studio, crazy clothes, silly laughs, shaky cameras, sounds and movements from the crew, kid contestants being introduced in the weirdest manner and Timmy being "UTTERLY, UTTERLY" brilliant! ...ahhh...this made my summer holidays as a kid.
+www.DrumsTheWord.com This was 100% live by the way!! Very brave!!
@VideotapeFTW- it was amazing! One of the best days of my life! I wrote a letter to Timmy, asking to be on his show. Paid for a stamp out of my pocket money and sent the letter off along with hundreds of drawings for Magic! My Mum knew nothing about it until the 'show' called, said they were from Wacaday and could they speak to me! I burst into tears and remember my Mum saying "Don't cry, they won't let you on the show!!" :0) We were put up in a posh hotel (I think it was the Hilton) overnight and had to learn the song the day we travelled down (it was sent by cassette tape so I listened to it on my walkman on the train!). I met Mike from TV-AM, Keep Fit Lizzy (do you remember her!! :0), Tommy Docherty (Scottish Footy manager) and Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch (now know as Mark Wahlberg!!). Thanks once again for sharing this on You Tube, the fact it's here forever makes me truly truly happy!! P.s My kids were amazed that a) I was once a child and b) I was on TV! I'm their new hero!!! x
Everything about this makes me smile :-)
@Blackstone they used to allow it. Not sure why they changed it
Amazing!!!!
How fab is that. Excellent find for you
Bless you, I can remember this episode on TV! Glad to hear you had a great time, thanks for leaving your explanation!
I honestly learned more about other countries and cultures from Timmy Mallett than from such as actual schools and things.
I'm 38 and I remember watching this a lot back then. Timmy is a LEGAND!! and one of the good guys to work with children in the 1980's-90's (if you know what I mean, not naming names)
I loved this show. Bring it back now . Is a shame we dont do them nowadays. As they should as we used to love watching kids TV show at weekends. Miss it though ❤❤❤
Every day in the summer holidays would start off with breakfast and Wacaday, then out to play with friends all day. Take me back.
I'd have been 8 when this was broadcast and I can tell you, it's a HUGE nostalgia trip for me. This was when children's TV was GOOD compared to what's out there now.
This is what everyone says about their own era.
@@Dangerous2099 But what can kids say about today's programmes? Will they even remember the nonsense that passes of as children's TV these days?
@@WillScarlet1991 Will, for all its wonderfulness Wacaday is pretty much the definition of 'nonsense' - Don't you be going all fogeyish on us now, lad!
- Here, have an unaccountable goldfish
Not an easy job, projecting all that anarchy while keeping the show on track. Timmy is very underrated, I think. Beneath the clown persona you can see he's got a quick mind. It wasn't too suprising to learn that he's an accomplished artist now.
Agree totally - Timmy was always a very accomplished broadcaster, and Wacaday was just the perfect fit for him.
I love how Magic is just flying around the place, brilliant.
He’s not so nimble these days
I was age 6 at the time when this came out. I did have the replica of the Mallet as a toy. The glorious days of 1991 endless childhood days!
TV am was best breakfast morning program ever. 80's were the best.
I was born in 84 and remember watching wacaday in the UK.
Wow nostalgic trip this takes me back to the long hot summer holidays. Thanks for uploading this.
I finished secondary school this year and grew up with this ❤❤❤
The days when kids were kids 😁happy and innocent xx
All we get these days is “Peppa Pig” for kids today, none of this wacky fun stuff.
My left ear really enjoyed that.
Yeah, yeah, I know, sorry about that... But I didn't do the transfer myself, and only noticed it was one-legged after I'd already uploaded it. I'm pretty sure it was a mono recording anyway, so it's not like anything's actually missing.
He's an extremely lovely guy, and even remembers meeting his fans, including myself 4 years ago
He does live shows on Facebook - Mallett's Palette
It’s a technicolour dream from my childhood!!! I would have only been about 6 years old when this episode aired, but I do remember Timmy and his mallet and ‘itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini’ song, lol!
The good old days on a Saturday mornings. Don't get nothing like this no more which is a shame.. TV is full of bull shit today. Thanks to the up loader.. Memories of a 12 yr old.
You're very welcome indeed - glad you enjoyed it. :-)
a tear of joy in my eye. big up Timmy and your mallet BLLAAAHHHH!
Helped make half terms and summer holidays special when i was kid.
Oh Wacaday. Playing Mallett's Mallett with cousins at Christmas gatherings made my childhood. I was a scrawny little brat back in the day, always winning the word associations and never the actual wacking. Always ended in a fist fight and dear old dad grounding me from watching TV for a couple weeks. Heh. Those were the days. Or shall I say, those were _utterly brilliant_ days.
Ah, but what did you use for your mallet? A pillow? A cushion? Or a rock-solid great lump of wood like my cousins did?
@@VideotapeFTW Started with pillows, ended with a chair
I remember being mesmerised by the Kenya one (the same hols as this South Africa episode, I think), when Timmy drained water from a bucket near the equator. It went clockwise on one side of the equator and anti-clockwise when he crossed over. It didn't spiral at all when he was bang on the equator.
Oh wow that certainly rings a bell
I seem to remember timmy saying, "Kenya believe it" in a few episodes when mentioning Kenya.
It always used to make me laugh. I'm easily amused.
🤷♂️😂
Wow, you've been uploading for quite some time.
I really admire your dedication, buddy.
Much appreciated. 👍
Oh, thank you! 11 years I've been at it now, on and off - scary, isn't it? I thought it had all come to a natural conclusion about five years ago, but then the Pink Windmill Kids went viral and, well, here I am...
@@VideotapeFTW I'm glad you stuck with it, lol.
Watching your uploads of these shows bring back great memories from childhood. 🙌
good old days before social media and mobile phones 🙂
I met Timmy yesterday at the Market Harborough Carnival.. He played a round of Malletts Mallett and sung summer holiday and itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini. He included Pinky Punky in his show at the carnival.
Watching this in 2020, completely utterly brilliant.
wow talk about a nostalgia overload. Big thanks for uploading this :D
You're very welcome - glad you enjoyed it! They don't make 'em like this these days, do they? ;-)
They really don't sadly :( summer holidays were the business when this was on and all the other classic tv shows :D
Molecular Shadow For all the difficulty I had getting out of bed in the morning for school, I never had the same trouble during the hols for Wacaday!
You're so right XD Neither did I. The crack of dawn and sit there with some cereal hehe
Making kids create stuff to bring into a live TV show? Imagine how much imagination you'd need for that these days!
Oh my God now here is a blast from the past this is literally the anthem from my childhood summers.
Nostalgia. Great memories!
Brings memories of school hols flooding back, doesn't it? :-)
VideotapeFTW I am a little younger than you. I used to watch it in my high chair with boiled egg and soldiers circa 1986.
Happy memories. :-) It was a great series - I remember them going all across Africa.
Ha ha, I had laces on my trainers like that kid has as well as Bermuda shorts. The late 80s and early 90s were so colourful clothes wise with lots of neon and luminous. :-D
Absolutely! We'd have far fewer people run over on our roads in the dark if we still dressed like that...
I was honored to meet Timmy 4 years ago just after our big birthdays (Mine 30th and his 60th both of us born on 18th October) extremely lovely man
Life BEFORE horse shit TV, when we HAD sense :)
Yeah! That was literally the first time I'd even heard of the equator! He also got some Kenyan villagers to mime shivering in the freezing cold to illustrate how it was technically winter on that side!
It was indeed the same holidays, too. WacAfrica was the theme for six weeks. That's utterly brilliant in itself, spending six weeks teaching kids in Woking about Kenya and South Africa. The next year, the last one, went all over the world. With the Africa bits being year-old footage, of course.
i remember seeing wacaday. must have been the last two because i was born in 87. i missed out haha
Wow - you must have a very good memory, as the show ended at the end of 1992. Timmy Mallett's the kind of presenter that really sticks in the mind, though, I suppose!
well he was a pretty memoerable character haha
Fantastic memories right there. The theme tune is just bonkers as well as the show itself. What was the show Chris Evans did soon after this, but ended prematurely because of the 1992 ITV buyout?, that one was just as bonkers also with its rapidly moving clock in the background!🤣🤣🤣. I think it was part of the TV-AM block.
Thanks so much for the upload, I do often get miserable over my age and wish I was 25-30 years old again and hate being 40, but on the flipside being as old as I am does mean I was able to experience and remember well these fantastic shows, back when kids TV was brilliant and the best!!!!!.
Glad you enjoyed it! I think that's TV Mayhem you're thinking of, with Chris Evans - didn't last long, that one.
@@VideotapeFTW that’s the one!. Was a good show that sadly was cut short.
@@VideotapeFTW Yep, commissioned for 40 weeks, scrapped after only 6 as a result of the franchise loss. Makes you think, if TV-am hadn't lost their franchise, Chris might still have been there and not done the Big Breakfast!
@@2001JamesTV I've actually got a very short clip of the show that replaced it - Jungle Fun it was called, and the budget couldn't possibly have been lower: th-cam.com/video/dFt2SAYSC-A/w-d-xo.html
@@VideotapeFTW I think they even got rid of that after not very long, and 1992 was just pre-recorded out of vision links (I think with Kenny Everett's voice... or someone who sounded like him anyway).
I did read somewhere that Chris and the show's producer went in and were able to argue and get paid for the full 40 weeks despite the axe... so it makes you wonder how much TV-am saved overall with the axing! The show itself was basically BSB's Power Up under a different name... so they'd been prematurely axed twice in the space of a few months, both times due to reasons nothing to do with the show itself! The TV-am Archive channel put up a few clips surrounding the launch of TV Mayhem, and it's suprising how much effort they put into the promotion only to axe it literally as soon as the franchise had gone.
@Jacqueline Guthrie (I can't reply directly to your post, for some reason.) Wow - what are the odds on that? Glad you enjoyed seeing it again! Was it a good fun day out at the Wacaday studios? :-)
Love the adverts in between .. And I wonder how much that gold bar is worth now !
Quite often the ads are the best bits of old recordings - at least, they really help ground you in the time period.
No Samsung Galaxy on this planet can beat this.
I remember there was an episode where they were playing twister. Would be nice to know which episode it was.
I remember all the Table Mountain and Cape of Good Hope stuff from WacAfrica; I also remember visits to Majorca, Austalia and Thailand, amongst others. And before all the travelling, he used to do educational stuff such as 'Timmy learns to go diving' and things like that - and yet, it never felt like learning for some reason... :-)
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees, childhood memories. Fun times.
14:13 monster in my pocket!
OMG I'd forgotten all about those. I collected them for a short time.
Pretty sure I used to get them from the local Woolworths.
Lol the very next advert with those monster munch clackers for the bike spokes, I remember having those.
I didn't have the monster much reflectors, but I did have the one's that came with boxes of Kellogg's cornflakes.
It's a good job I have the day off work tomorrow, lol. I just realised it's 03:00 in the morning. 😂
@@TheRetroManRandySavage Once upon a time it was all about getting up early for Wacaday - now it's all about staying up late for it!
@@VideotapeFTW HAHA! You got that right.😂
If you enjoyed this back in the day , you can almost step back in time watching it.... i reckon the world could of gone through a 1000 pandemics back then and I would of budge ha
Never mind Timmy..... what about those clackers on your bike wheels?!?!?!
Mr Mallet, Mr Mallet
My mum says you've got knobbly knees !
If you have any 1986 episodes hanging around, I was on one of those and would love to see it again.
Oh, really? I don't think I have any more, but I'll always upload anything that I find. What was your episode all about?
@@VideotapeFTW I was on Mallett's Mallet, so I don't remember much of anything about the rest of the show. But your stuff is a treasure trove, thanks for doing what you do!
@@FamousMortimeris my memory wrong or did he used to bonk heads with the mallet? I always thought he did...
@@victoriadack168 yes he did!
Class scenes !!
I was on the show for the 2nd episode of the Africa theme (21/08/1991), this ran for 2 weeks so if this is the penultimate episode it would make it Thursday 29th August 1991
We're wide awake, Its good to know you're ready and you're wide awake,
So on you're marks and get set go!.
Its Wacaday no school today, here's what you've got to do, Forget the post and stay in bed, see what we've got for you.
Oh, Wacaday! Whats that?
Wait and see! Who's on?
Find out! Stay tuned! OK! Let's go!
(instrumental)
It's Wacaday!
@Jacqueline Guthrie - That just sounds like the most amazing experience. I always wondered how I could get on Wacaday; it never really occurred to me just to write in and ask! Plus getting to meet Marky Mark, Tommy Docherty, Mike from TV-am, *and* Keep Fit Lizzy... I'm not sure young me would have been able to handle it. Especially that last one. ;-)
(P.S. I've just sent you a private message to th-cam.com/users/messages - please let me know what you think.)
I think Dominic says he comes from Horsham (in West Sussex).
Yes, I think you could be right. Thanks. :-)
Glad you're enjoying it! :-)
Come on, we were all smashing loads of acid a few years later. Brilliant 80s colour and chaos for kids who were teens in the next decade... Admit it haha!!
Applemask sent me here
Gosh I feel old !
Have u got any Wacaday with Transformers in it? Can't remember if I ever asked lol
I don't think so - sorry. There _was_ an episode of Transformers in this, the forerunner to Wacaday:
th-cam.com/video/j6o-aCZSyi8/w-d-xo.html
But I had to edit it out for upload to TH-cam.
i remember him hitting you over head with mallets mallet,,,what happened?
Comedy gold
wish i could get the ringtone for that mallet sound lol would be good for messages or whatsapp lol
Imagine the looks you'd get when that goes off in public...!
lol very true :)
Not a lot of people know that after Wacaday, Timmy Mallet changed his name to Mark Crossfield and became a Golf Professional. True story, look it up.
That Daihatsu hat was immense
Magic!
Timmy Mallet was on Acid!!! This makes sense
There can be no other rational explanation for Timmy!
VideotapeFTW the weird thing is I used to like him when I were a kid but thought he was abit dull so childhood must show how exciting it is to be a child!
bassicuk1986 Wow... I pity your poor teachers if Timmy Mallett was too dull for you as a kid! ;-)
This must have been the last series of Wacaday before TV-am knew they were losing their franchise... Didn't they start putting up repeats from the late 80s as weekends not long after that?
I think Wacaday itself continued right to the end of TV-am - maybe they repeated certain pre-recorded segments, like they did during the (numerous) strikes, but I'm pretty sure Timmy wasn't taken off the air. I can't remember for certain, to be honest.
@@VideotapeFTW Yeah, they put out old episodes at weekends during 1992, but still had new episodes during the school holidays- possibly the only new, original childrens programming during that final year? I think the likes of Top Banana and Dappledown Farm were only repeats (though the latter came back, both repeats and new episodes, on Channel 5 a few years later! Possibly the only time TV-am content was repeated outside of TV-am itself)
I guess it saved them money, as they didn't have to commission anything new or pay to for an import for that slot, and a lot of kids probably wouldn't care (or even realise) it was 5 years old! Feels a bit of a disservice to viewers though the way they went on that cutting spree as soon as the franchise loss was announced... it's not as if they couldn't afford to keep making what they did before, they just went stingy.
I suppose they had nothing to gain from spending any money on their shows, so they didn't - just fulfil their contract to the barest possible minimum. The speed at which they reached that point, though, is borderline hilarious.
@@VideotapeFTW Would barely matter if they didn't fulfil the contract... how much could the ITC really do when they'd already lost the franchise? At best probably a fine that would likely barely touch the sides when they were still raking in money while slashing costs. Take them off air early... but replace them with what, as GMTV wouldn't have been ready.
I guess at least they didn't pull a Southern-esque on air tantrum and broadcast bitter speeches and songs. Or storm off air months early like TWW did.
Of course franchisees that did win have been just as guilty at cutting things as soon as they can get away with it. Granada started winding down the Liverpool news operation almost as soon as they won the franchise for example. Admittedly not a requirement of the licence, but still something they did to look good for the regulator in the face of criticism for being too Manchester centric leading up to renewal.
@@2001JamesTV I'm pretty sure Mike Morris had some strong but well-chosen words during TV-am's final broadcast. And didn't GMTV's franchise fee end up being reduced to below what TV-am bid? (I may be getting mixed up with Thames vs Carlton.)
I made my own with two pieces of foam and a huge amount of superglue. It didn't look like much, but at last I could legitimately bash my sister over the head!
Ah yes, Wacaday, the thing I had to sit through to watch Transformers.
The Mallett's Mallet thing... I came to live with the "sanitised" version, because Wacaday was still so utterly brilliant. But it wasn't the same, let's be honest. I remember how disappointing it was when they first introduced the gizmo version. Timmy was interviewed by Anne Diamond on TV Weekly and she asked why they'd altered the Mallett's Mallet game, as may children were writing in and complaining about it. She asked directly if it was a result from the pressure of copycat incidents involving people being maimed with heavy objects, but he denied it had any correlation and that they just decided to revamp it purely to keep it fresh. She pushed him on it and he promised it was the truth, pointing out that they still hit people on the head during other segments of the show. I would have doubted his honesty, but he does have a point there. I actually believe him because of that.
Interesting, and surprising. I suppose it could be true, but then again, if they were getting that many letters from children, why not change back? They could have done if it was indeed just a revamp without any outside pressure. Perhaps it was a pre-emptive move they decided to make before anyone whacked their little sibling a fraction *too* hard...?
Come to think of it, they altered it right at the moment TV-am were applying for franchise renewal. Maybe trying to impress the ITC that their kids' programming wasn't encouraging violence? Anyhow, sanity was restored post Wacaday, good old fashioned head bashing in Timmy's various, sporadic Mallett's Mallet revivals which pop up here and there every now and then.
You know what? That makes perfect sense - a good old franchise renewal always gets broadcasters voluntarily cleaning up their act. Mystery solved, I reckon. :-)
I remember him always forgetting the score and since it was live maybe it was just a way of getting the score recorded for him to make it fun
@@Mitchcraft. Made matters worse, that machine was always clocking up the wrong score. Two numbers would whizz round at once, or none at all. And he didn't notice, because he was standing behind it. They got letters complaining about the wrong kid being declared the winner, time after time, so they started to make a joke of it by having people dressed as the Gremlins in the machine.
Seeirth Ifrica!
All Hail Michaela.
Either 1990 or '91, I think. I hate the fact that they bowed to public pressure like that...
Revisiting Wacaday for the first time in over thirty years, how the fuck did Timmy Mallet have this much energy without extremely powerful amphetamines?
That early in the morning as well...
Boffins at The Institute Of Eggheads have two main theories to explain The Timmy Mallet Paradox..
1) mental disorder; bi polar😜
2) mental disorder; trauma on the inside bits of head also known as The Brain Box🧠
Those Care Bears seem a bit needy don't they!?
Interesting..
I've just come across this and I was really looking forward to watching it but for some reason there's no sound 😕
There _is_ sound, but I'm afraid it's all in the left channel. Sorry about that. Is your left speaker/earbud broken?
Wow summer 1991 memories of being 14 years plus had a fantastic family holiday in America as well between July and August. How awesome were summer morning when TV was worth waking upto during holidays after Wacaday was He Man Gadget Ox Tails Just for the Record etc whilst This Morning Time The Place and any quiz shows would be on their summer hiatus and make way for us kids when we were kids. Miss those days now its full of shit like Jeremy Kyle and Loose Women etc
Timmy was watching Twin Peaks then 🤣
That's only half the reference - it was something to do with two mountains in his Africa reports. Can't remember which.
Oh, whoops, "A Clear Idea Television Producion"? I wonder how many editions of Wacaday featured that erroneous endcap?
I was wondering that. Compare and contrast from the same week: th-cam.com/video/Gcm6O3Ag0f0/w-d-xo.html
It's interesting that they changed the look of the caption within the same week, as well as the look of the end credits, when the run was so nearly over. Initially, I thought the blue caption in the other clip was an overlay to correct this mistake. But this video with the error is the later edition. Strange.
"touch your wac"?
What came on after this?
I would have been 9!!
Do kids have anything like this these days?
I remember this! man this was corny lol
Didn't like Timmy mallet after I'm a celebrity. How devious he is and what he will do for fame.
what ever happened to Timmy malet
I know he did the university circuit for a bit, but apparently he concentrates on his art nowadays (which is more impressive than most would assume). He really should have gone on to do more adult television as he was an absolute natural, but by all accounts he simply refused to give up the wackiness. Here's his Twitter: twitter.com/TimmyMallett
VideotapeFTW He was on I'm a Celebrity some years ago, and was a total idiot - people hated him.
He came to Warwick university while I was there, I even got chance to get whacked by the mallet !
He cheeked that african
a whacky show presented by a wacko lol good ol day
👾😊👾🦜
well, that was weird.
After just the first five minutes, you can quite clearly understand why kids of the 90's LOVED this show....including me of course. Budgies flying around the studio, crazy clothes, silly laughs, shaky cameras, sounds and movements from the crew, kid contestants being introduced in the weirdest manner and Timmy being "UTTERLY, UTTERLY" brilliant! ...ahhh...this made my summer holidays as a kid.
+www.DrumsTheWord.com It's exactly what children's television should be, isn't it? The only reason to get out of bed early during the holidays. :-)
