Tiswas: Then and Now. 📺 GOSH... what a blast 💥 from the Past!! It was manic and hilarious 😂🤣 If I remember correctly, Trevor East was a dedicated Derby County supporter ⚽️Peter Thomlinson was a continuity announcer for ATV. I remember Lenny Henry in the forgotten Situation Comedy 🎭 “The Fosters.” Wonderful Memories...🥧😃
After a *lot* of searching, and no small amount of frustration, I've finally managed to find out that Fogwell Flax (real name Leonard Lloyd) was born in 1952, and is currently 71 years of age. 👍 🍄
Us Midlanders, in the ATV region, had Tiswas a good 3 years before it was networked out to the rest of the UK. It was less manic in those days but still a lot of fun.
John Gorman now looks like the Aston Villa assistant Gary McAllister and Lenny was born round the corner from my grannie in Blackacre Road! Happy days!
Me and 3 rugby playing flat sharers in London watched every Saturday before the game. Went to the live show in Victoria, London.Singing 'Far Canal' whilst drenched was a highlight. Brilliant TV.
Used to watch Swap Shop until 10:30 then turn over to ATV Land for the real Saturday morning show which took us up to World Of Sport at 12:30. I loved Dickie on a Saturday. Still do..😂😂
TISWAS- punk TV for kids! (I'm finding it hard to believe that Bob Carolgees was only on for two years- he left such a lasting impression that it seemed like he was on the show for *much* longer!) 🍄
The colossus of Saturday morning telly. Nothing before or after came anywhere near. Keys face it, any show that gets Spike Milligan, Palin and Jones off Python, and Frank Carson doing sketches is on to a winner. Oh to rewind to Saturday mornings like that.
Used to go out on the piss Friday night and come Saturday morning watch Multi Coloured Swap Shop at 9 .30 on B.B.C. 1 and switch over to Tiswas on I.T. V at 10 oclock because it was crazier and funnier . Nearly always watched it with a hangover from the night before . Happy days the 70's .
There used to be a 'compost corner' in many a boozer in the 1970s and 80s in homage to TISWAS. Sally James in tight blue jeans and black boots ........ gasp.
I was 13 when Sally James joined the show, did my raging hormones no good whatsoever and looking at her now she could still get them raging....as soon as I can find them !
@@markhemming318 It's so sad. The new tech zombie generation have been robbed of a childhood. By being taught to grow up to fast and force fed tech. Anything outside of their media tech is irrelevant. We used to play 40 saves all. Hide n seek. Make dens and dams in the streams. Make tree houses. Play in mud and climb trees. Go bike riding and collect nuts and apples and play on computer games on a rainy day and even air guns and catapults. Marbles ... Conkers. Bows n arrows.... The lists almost endless . That's what I remember when I look back. Wtf will they have to look back at....feck all but media tech.
If ITV ever make a series about how TISWAS was created, the actor Jonny McPherson (Emmerdale), should play Peter Tomlinson, as he looks & sounds like him. The way he says, "Compost corner", in the episode broadcast on November 4th 2021, sounded just like a TISWAS moment!
I remember her presenting Saturday Scene on ITV Saturday mornings pre Tiswas around 1973. That was when children's TV really got started. Lovely lady then as now. ❤
It seems like yesterday we were watching this, my brother and I used to argue with our other sister over swap shop which was on the other channel or tizwaz, we usually won.
loved this but due to pc world you'd never get away with this today ,imagine the uproar with a kid getting hit by the bucket of water and the phantom flan flinger ,happy days
Did your parents make you watch that multi coloured swap shop crap then? How I pity you, did you have to be tortured by Blue Peter as well? I was a Magpie kid.
Wonderful memories Saturdays were never the same after it finished.
How come Sally looks better now than she did then!❤️
Agreed. She looks amazing!
Make -up by Pollyfilla!
She used to rock the thigh high boots
Simply put, she's the hottest woman on the planet, Allan 😁
Allan Sedgewick plenty of work
Man, I feel old. Those Saturday mornings were special. Tiswas for the rebellious kids and Swap Shop for the squares...😂.

Fantastic sleuthing!

Spit doesn't hasn't aged at all!!
They'd never allow the phantom flan flinger these days!!! Scared the life out of me as a kid
John Gorman now looks like the Aston Villa assistant Gary McAllister and Lenny was born round the corner from my grannie in Blackacre Road! Happy days!
I loved Tiswas on a Saturday, not forgetting the Phantom Flan Flinger...
Me and 3 rugby playing flat sharers in London watched every Saturday before the game. Went to the live show in Victoria, London.Singing 'Far Canal' whilst drenched was a highlight. Brilliant TV.
Great memories, i remember Sally showing her garters for the Navy requests every Saturday, She's just as beautiful now as ever 💘 😍
Used to watch Swap Shop until 10:30 then turn over to ATV Land for the real Saturday morning show which took us up to World Of Sport at 12:30. I loved Dickie on a Saturday. Still do..😂😂
Thank You for making a happy man very old! LOL (I am 74 BTW)
Brill,brill,brill, quality show, very funny, always something different,& the phantom flan flingers,🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍

Nice one Stu good mesmerise 🙂🇬🇧✌️
After watching Sally on Tiswas, i'd go to my room.
😂🤩😛
Yes I agree. With loadsa tissue or a sock

I loved this show when we finally got it in the Yorkshire TV region in 1979.
Used to go out on the piss Friday night and come Saturday morning watch Multi Coloured Swap Shop at 9 .30 on B.B.C. 1 and switch over to Tiswas on I.T. V at 10 oclock because it was crazier and funnier . Nearly always watched it with a hangover from the night before . Happy days the 70's .
I used to switch over for Tiswas too. Swap Shop was just a filler until the main event from ATV Land.
Wow is it so long ago.... Missed seeing Ian 'Sludge' Lees though. Superstar!!
They also left out Joan Palmer from early ATV only TISWAS, before Sally James joined the programme.
There used to be a 'compost corner' in many a boozer in the 1970s and 80s in homage to TISWAS.
Sally James in tight blue jeans and black boots ........ gasp.
HAPPY DAYS!
The Phantom will be eighty-eight this July (2023), I believe, and his location is Solihull.
Sally James is still SMOKIN' HOT!!!
Was awaiting Wizard Web. Great he was included.
This was our SNL for Saturday mornings (incidently, SNL started in the US the same year!)
Still got my Tiswas teashirt!
Awesome!
Sally was also on The Saturday show on L.W.T. before moving to T.I.S.W.A.S. Goot times!
So who else only came on here to see how Sally James looks today?
still got a crush on Sally James
7:40-
Is that *really* Bob Monk House??
On TISWAS?!
😱
🍄
I was 13 when Sally James joined the show, did my raging hormones no good whatsoever and looking at her now she could still get them raging....as soon as I can find them !
I am wired differently to you Paul ( if you catch my drift) but Sally James in that leather jacket even used to give me the "half-on" lol.
I really fancied Sally James as a kid, still looks hot!
Oooh the Phantom Flan Flinger. Loved it and Why Don't you and Swapshop.
How different things were. And so much better.
@@markhemming318 when kids had a childhood worth remembering for a start.
@@richhughes7450
Yep, there was certainly a sense of innocence back then.

Tiswas started at 9.30 till 12.30pm then Dickie Davis world of sport crew will be on until 5.00pm are memories😂
Ruddy hell ... spit the dog has not changed one little bit !!!

Following Tiswas came Number 73 all i can remember of that show was the catchy theme tune and making a Hover Craft out of a wardrobe.
Sandy toksvig lol
No information on Fogwell Flax, is he still with us?
It's difficult to find much current info on Fogwell but I do believe he is still going strong.
I loved Tiswas , even Lenny Henry was funny.
Den hegarty wasn't he in the group darts ?
Yes indeed!
Sally 💗💓💎
I remember her presenting Saturday Scene on ITV Saturday mornings pre Tiswas around 1973.
That was when children's TV really got started. Lovely lady then as now. ❤
I can imagine it making a comeback as a Saturday Evening primetime show.
Think they tried with adult version OTT. World wasn't quite ready though
@@paddymulligan OTT was a night in at the pub!
I always wanted to try condensed milk sandwiches after that show
TISWAS latest! Another edition from 1975 has been found complete!
It seems like yesterday we were watching this, my brother and I used to argue with our other sister over swap shop which was on the other channel or tizwaz, we usually won.
They should do a one off Réunion episode.
Tiswas is now called Quizwas because he (Tarrent) is the Quizzer.
I love Sally
Sally James my first crush
God imagine kids today getting a flan in the face . they would be traumatised sue itv and need counselling
The only man who could still get away with hoooonnnnkkkeeeeeeey.
Can anyone explain what Tiswas means, if anything .
Today Is Saturday Watch And Smile.
Today is Saturday Watch and Smile
@@stuviewtv I'm sure I read somewhere it was "Today Is Saturday, Wear a Smile". Oh no, it's the Mandela Effect! 😀
Yes. Today is Saturday. Watch and smile.
@@christinewilliams4515 Thank you for that . Hurrah for the interwebs , all questions answered.
loved this but due to pc world you'd never get away with this today ,imagine the uproar with a kid getting hit by the bucket of water and the phantom flan flinger ,happy days
Not so terribly different to kids being dropped six feet from a trapdoor into a pool full of gunge in Wait For It.
You had to be there to understand Tiswas. Anarchy, for a kids show.
What about green Nigel aka David rappaport
Sally still looks hot as mustard 😍
Sally James wearing short skirts and low cut tops brought the whole family together ..except the women
That Gordon Astley would of been 73 in 2021 not 72 it says he was born in 1948
His birthday is in December, so when the video was made he hadn't reached 73 quite yet.
@@stuviewtv ah right okay
Who played as Big and Small? Small said Uh Oh You Found The Toothpaste!
Where's the gorgeous stacked black girl who used to get in the paddling pool?
Was that the same one that threatened to take her top off, or was that a dream?
I wasnt allowed to watch tiswas
Did your parents make you watch that multi coloured swap shop crap then? How I pity you, did you have to be tortured by Blue Peter as well? I was a Magpie kid.
@@maverickhistorian6488 yes . Never said why i cdnt watch tiswas , but i knew ..... sally james
@@brianmacc1934 Didn't we all, she was pretty hard to ignore. Chris Tarrant couldn't keep his eyes off her! Lol.
I lioved in Co. Durham so we did not get Tis Was --despite the rest of the country telling us how good it was! Tyne -Tees TV--way out of date!
Lived in.
