ROTFLMAO - so did I! In fact, the only reason I knew it was so damn multicoloured was because I had a Swap Shop annual one Christmas!

Swap shop.

I didn't learn about Tiswas till it was almost too late, by then it wasn't at it's best.

Although I did watch O.T.T. from the start ( the adult version of Tiswas....... )

The Banana Bunch?! {offended} Dost mean The Banana Splits, madame? {/offended} If so, excellente... :))) The Arabian Nights ("Size of a...")! The Hair Bear Bunch (even though Hanna-Barbera kept recycling the bloody voices endlessly for other crapper cartoons), which surprisingly only amounted to 16 episodes, I've just discovered!

D'Artagnan!!!

Swap-shop - we were definitely a BBC biased household. And anything that gave CT a leg-up is to be condemned (at least NE eventually faded back into blameless obscurity!).

Definitely TISWAS... sat in the common room (if you could find a seat on a Saturday morning, lusting after Sally James during her legendary pop interviews (it was an all-male hall...) - waiting for the University Rugby Club to be accepted in the cage...

And it was Lenny Henry's big break! His impersonation of David Bellamy - well, gwapple my gwapenuts!

Tiswas! No competition! An' I got a couple of videos! Only thing really missing tho' is the Dying Fly. (Phantom Flan Flinger's on all right.(

BUT does anybody remember the shortlived, rather risque offshoot, shown late on Saturday nights - "OTT"? The one that included the 3 male balloon dancers...

"Eventually faded", Liz, eventually! The grinning gargoyle that is CT is still, alas, with us. Thankfully neither the Edmonds nor the Blobby seem to be current...

I rest my handbag/backpack/suit&nutcase/whatever... ;-)
