      Another brilliantly funny video Stuart . Got to say my name is stuart Anderson and I remember that other Stuart Anderson in a skirt singing Gordon where's yer troosers on the broom cupboard with Philip Schofield haa. Any how I'm 45 now and all these videos really resonate. Nostalgia is not what it used to be.

      A 2600 ? In 1985 ? People were getting ST's and Amiga's in 85 ! At school, the kids would be singing "Where's your caravan ?!" if you got a 2600 in 1985 ! 😀

    There are many pivotal moments in a child's life. The day that you were told Santa wasn't real...the day that you realised that your mum and dad would die one day and you cried and your mum and dad laughed snd said "not for a long...long time son...maybe 50 years!" And then you were OK because 50 years was forever and ever! And then one fateful day you are watching telly and laughing at that funny lad and his dad and all the silly japes they get up to...and then your dad walks in sniggers and says "you know that little lad is really that fellas wife!?" And then you stare at your dad and back at the TV and then back at your dad...he's not laughing....he's not.....joking. And then he sniggers knowingly and walks out of the room...and you sit there blinking slowly as you watch the spectacle unfold...this is a new world now...and you will never ever be the same again!

    My mum would never let us watch the Krankies as she thought they were weird ( Mum's 'wrong un' radar was amazing - hated Saville, Glitter, Stuart Hall and Harris, and she was not too keen on Barrymore.) I was really disappointed at the time as my friends were allowed to watch them. Thank you, mum. I don't think I can ever repay you 😂

    Back in the early 2000s, I worked at a company that taught performing arts in schools, and one of the company directors had Rolf Harris as her godfather. She acted like it was some secret, but went on and on about it at any and every opportunity. Any time we were planning an event, she would pipe up with 'I'll ask Rolf! I bet Rolf would love it!' I really wish I could've seen the look on her face when the news about him came out.
    (You'll be relieved to know that he never did turn up for a single event.)
    As I was interested in writing at the time, she suggested I write something that involved Rolf Harris and she would pass it along to him. I was trying my hand at writing a (really shit, it turned out) sitcom and revised to so Rolf would appear as the Devil. While I'm relieved such a dreadful piece of writing never got any further, I'm certain footage of him in the guise of Satan would've got a lot of airing in news reports, so in a way it's disappointing it didn't happen.

    I grew up in Glasgow and The Krankies were always in the annual pantomime we'd go to see every year. I've seen them live more times than I can remember. I must've seen every panto they did until 2004 when Wee Jimmy fell off a 10ft beanstalk and they left the panto biz for a few years.

    The early 80's was a bit of a dark period for me, particularly in regard to television directed at children. I was at that awkward age when I was no longer a kid who was satisfied enough with whatever was put on screen, nor a teenager who took more interest in more grown-up shows. What made it worse was shows that featured artistes that were, what I would call at the time, semi-naff. Tolerable to a point. Mildly amusing for about 30 seconds before they over-did or said something that made you cringe and want to disassociate yourself from it, immediately, in case one of your older brothers caught you taking an interest, and vicariously put you in the category of being a fan of said artiste, with the taunts that went along with it. The classic excuse being that there simply wasn't anything else on, and that it was only watched because it just so happened to be on that channel at the time. Not that it made a huge amount of difference. The window between semi-naff and cringy was fleeting at best, so there was no telling how quickly it could change.
    The classic example was indeed the Krankies. If they'd come to prominence a bit earlier, say in the early to mid 70's, then they might have been viewed a bit differently by me, but as it was, them showing up on Crackerjack during the early 80's, meant they find perfectly into the slot described above. I guess Rod Hull and Emu were the same, but they were well-established in the 70's, and as such, were viewed with a tad more kindness, by me, than the Krankies ever were. That they had their own Christmas show doesn't surprise in the least. The BBC tended to stick to what was deemed as popular for their, 'extravaganzas.' I never saw this when broadcast, (thank God), and would most likely have been using my older brother's computer whilst he was out, instead. Anything to get away from these, 'variety', shows that featured artistes so good they were only ever seen once on TV. One highlight was that roller-skater spinning Jimmy Krankie around, in the hope he'll let go and he'd go flying across the studio and landing awkwardly akin to that sketch done by Charlie Drake in the 60's, through a window that was supposed to break, but had been mended inadvertently by a considerate prop man. How great it would have been to have all the kids laughing and cheering as he lay in a mangled mess. Nah, not really.
    Ah, Bernie Winters, the ultimate in hang-on's to previous fame, (what there was of it), who had no discernible talent, (other than owning a St. Bernard dog), appearing as a guest on other people's shows for well over a decade. Oh, and going, 'eeeeeeeeee....!', when not advertising bird seed. Speaking of which, the more talented half does make an appearance, and upstages everyone present.
    Ah, right.. the ultimate in retrospective cringe, having one of the prominent TV celebrities of the 70's, who was disgraced in later years, in, what can only be described as the epitome of, 'this hasn't aged at all well', especially when it's kids TV, they were a major part of at the time. Record Breakers was far more wholesome, of course, with Uncle Roy and the 2 McWhirter's, (soon to become one), giving us younger kiddy-winks at the time, useless facts that were, at least, educational to a point. Back when presenters and participants all looked like your Dad, Grandparents or affable uncles. I can smell the brill cream and pipe tobacco smell from here. They really pushed the boat out as far as Christmasing-up the set, it has to be said. Roy reluctantly singing a Bing Crosby number at the end, being about as Christmassy as it got.
