I do. "So fari, so goodie" was the catchphrase as I remember. Hardly in
the same league as "Crackerjack" ("CRACKERJACK!!!") is it...?

Are you talking about the bit where a celebrity would act as the continuity
announcer for Children's ITV??? I have fond memories of Charlotte Coleman
(here we go again...) as Marmalade Atkins doing this and she was fab.
(Btw, could the guy who mailed me about the MA books please mail me back as
I am still interested?)

It was "Razamatazz" (though I bet someone's beaten me to it). I'm not sure
it was Chris Biggins, only someone who looked like a cross between him and
Ted Robbins (though it probably was...). It was a pop music show (sort of
rival to Cheggers Plays Pop), but actually more a desecdent of Mike Ried's
"Runaround". Or am I talking out of my arse?
Anyway, it was definitely Razamatazz.

Can I do my "not a lot of people know that" bit here and point out that
Marmalade Atkins was written by Andrew Davies (of A Very Peculiar Practice,

And whilst we are talking about this celebrity of the highest status
who remembers 'On Safari' with Chris Biggins and , I think, Gillian
'lay-by' Taylforth.?
Oh..and that reminds me, what was the childrens slot called which
many years back was presented by a so-called celebrity each week.
As I recall Roland Rat and Matthew Kelly were amongst the star line up.
They have alot to answer for.....
(This was the slot during whch Dr.Snuggles was broadcast...)

But, it was Razzamataz
it wasn't Christopher Biggins and I can only remember the surname being Perry.
It used to filmed in the same studios as the TUBE in Newcastle. I rember 'cos I
was on it the same time as 'Bucks Fizz' Woooo!
Peggy Babcock was this Pirate thing and the show was a kids pop-come-game show.
This is bringing back memories that I hoped I had forgotten..URGH!

It was Razzmataz, one of many ITV shows over the years aimed at rivalling
BBC's top of the tops. Amazingly all of them failed. The presenter was
Alastair Pirrie and he resembled somewhat Chrisopher Biggins and a Tibetan
Yak.

Was this the program that Lisa Stansfield was on before she became a singer,
I seem to remember something about her being on a pop program when she was
younger.

Do you remember ITV's CBTV, with Steve Steen and er, the other one? A little
after Marmalade Atkins, I think, but just as good.

It was called Razamataz if its the same programme but I didn't know
Christopher Biggins was in it.
Anyway they did that on there and it went Peggy Babcock , Babcock Peggy
about 10 times then say that's it how did I do.
They had to do it as fast a possible.
