My dad hated programmes where there were kids laughing in the audience. Grandad with Clive Dunn, and Crackerjack! I used to love Crackerjack on a Friday evening as a kid in the 70s/80s, Ed Stewpot Stuart and then Stu Francis. They tried to bring it back but times have changed, and even in the 80s that format was looking a bit tired. Best to just let us Gen Xers remember this and shout Crackerjack! at the right time!
The former now appears to be running two dance schools - one in Faversham which concentrates on Zumba and physical fitness, and a Choreography & Movement Direction Centre in London W1F...
I bet the Krankies are wishing they were back in those days, they really are in enormous trouble. What with the SNP's motorhome that was bought with party funds and then parked on wee'Jimmy's mother-in-laws drive.!
I remember those paper hats being a bit of a fad in the 80's. They were incredibly cheap, that was the appeal of them. They could staple one into Lookin' or The Beano, just a flat piece of perforated thin card which popped out into a kind of baseball cap. And silly string! I remember first encountering that stuff when some lads were spraying it from the upper floor of a shopping centre, circa 1983. I fear to ask, what was it made from? I'm guessing it wasn't particularly environmental friendly.
I remember that 'expression' as well, the follow on from 'Fandabidozi' - sounds a bit druggy these days though, 'doobie' and all; I also recall The Krankies indeed singing a song on Crackerjack, I think in a 1982 episode, but it was Fandabi-, not Hubbadubba- - the line ended _'...and they danced all night'_ though - might that be what you're thinking of...?
I'm old enough to remember this boring intro, but The Krankies really boosted the ratings. It's a shame they were unable to attend the revival last year. And I don't care what people say about Stu Francis, he was the best Crackerjack! presenter. Yes, his catchphrases were annoying, but at least his addition made the show less upper-class. The Krankies recently revealed the kids were from public schools during the Stewpot era... I'm not surprised.
When the BBC had more cash to make so much more variety than you get nowadays. But ONE PROBLEM, is Jimmy Saville lurking anywhere? It gives you the creeps.

This takes me back to my childhood and then some. Thank you for sharing this. ❤❤❤❤
Definitely 1981, not only due to the songs played, but also thats when John Inman did Mother Goose at the Victoria Theatre, christmas 1981.
It is also the inbetween period of Sally Ann's two Eurovision appearances in 1980 and 1982.

Used to love watching the krankies....and swap shop great family viewing cracker Jack...
Thanks for posting I remember this so clearly when they used to have good news and bad news
Forgot all about this show until I heard someone say the word "steeplejack" this morning. Ee I could crush a grape!
So glad we had cool kid's progammes like cracker Jack and other cool TV programmes.....
This of course was the year before the 'Take A Chance' gunge tanks were introduced.
I used to fancy Sally Ann Triplett.... and then she left to represent the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest in a band called Bardo, I was so sad 😆
Oooh, I could crush a grape!
This brings back memories the old ones are the best iam 45

Kids programs were the best back then

I remember 'Deely-Boppers' and the Rubik Cube being the things in 1981 myself...
Bck wen t.v. was worth not going out to play! No internet mobiles or online games! Life was easy n fun n exciting! Best times! EVER!
Lovely Sally Ann Triplett
Jimmy isn’t stupid he is clever
As a boy I saw both Stu Francis and John Inman in panto at the Davenport Theatre in Stockport, albeit in different years.
whos that singing the theme tune?
proves why they had to get Chas and Dave in to do it
Hubba dubba doobee! That kid must be a little person ..he's too funny to be a kid
....and it's not a kid but a full grown lady
Sally Ann 😍🥰
Sally Ann Triplett, my first crush, still beautiful...
Hats off to the Krankies for creating the word hubbadubbadoobie. They even had a song with that title. Does anyone have a link to it?

Who sung Jimmy krankie in the intro in the crowd of children
This is me after three years. This was my very old account, but ignore the comment please so yeah ignore my spelling please
And here I was thinking that Chas and Dave did the theme tune first.
Anyway, their version (and their intro) was better.
Yeah that Chas n Dave theme is burned into my childhood memory. This version is poor by comparison

23:22 BIT worrying that these sort of lyrics were featured in such a classic kids' show... #AcceptableInThe80s...?
😂 😂😂😂
Some of the sh#te we used to watch back then. Hahaha the acting was appalling
What happened to quality children,s tv programmes? It's seems to be all cartoons these days.
Janette Krankie........Nicola Sturgeon.
Just saying
I'm sorry but WTF?!
Bloop
