Jamie Pulls Joey Deacon Face!
Paul Knox
Joey Deacon Face on his new show after he had got his chubby little tongue
tied around some cockney spatter!
Deacon would turn in his grave...if he could.
Shame

He is the right age to remember Joey Deacon at his height of fame so
fair enough.
I thought some of Fat Tongue's comments tonight were positively Nigel
Tufnell-esque... not sure if that's a good thing or not.
Jim Hanner
I wish I'd seen it now. I saw the bit where he was moving out of his
flat and got wondering whether his new place had such slideable
banisters. It would be tragic if it didn't.
As for him being Nigel Tufnell, that *has* to be a good thing. Oh, and

I didn't realise Joey Deacon was a person, I just remember at primary school
the words "joey" and "deacon" bandied about as insults. So who is Joey
Deacon?

as their cause celebre in the early 80s. We watched Joey, a lovable old man,
get his new specially designed bungalow built for him and saw his happiness
as he moved in. Trouble was, show this to kids and they just take the piss.
"Joey" became a by-word for anything from being thick to being bad at sport.
Blue Peter never did that again, they realised that kids will always be
little bastards, despite all efforts to convert them into tolerant, PC
moderates.
Mind you, at least they tried.

Early 80'?
"Joey" was in insult waaaaaaaaay before that....I mean, like when *I*
was at junior school! and that'd be mid-seventies...... (Sob)

ISTR Joey Deacon becoming a phenomenon when I was in secondary school
(1976-81). So a little Googling for Joey Deacon took me to
http://www.spleenvent.org.uk/joey.html . The 'history' page on this
site is OCRed from one of the Blue Peter annuals and says that they
first heard of him in 1979.
Joe Towey
anyone who claims "joey" was an insult before blue peter thrust stardom upon
joey deacon is getting mixed up.
its where the insult began, british kids being the evil little gits that
they are.
does anyone remember after they raised the money and built his space age
bungalow (he had a microwave before anyone i know)
they had some cash left over, and dear old Joey bought a wicker (wikka??)
ship?
and what about when he threw his shoe in the thames?
Joe (no really thats my name, and yes, it was hell at school.)

Bollocks. I can remember exactly where I was when it became a common
insult at the junior school was at..... and bearing in mind how many
schools I was In, I can pretty much pin it down to a specific six month
period.....so don't patronise me, mate....
Will.
now calmer....
Joe Towey
know
seems to only remember it meaning Joey Deacon. Sorry.
i actually can't even remember the date of any of it, but i know that i
never got called
"Joey" until the blue peter spastic episodes.

Oddly, I never actually saw those....although I do remember towards the
end of school (some 6 years after the inital "Joey" outbreak, there was
a revival....maybe that was the BP influence....
I remember the original outbreak coming straight after seeing a film
about Kangaroos....the young being called a joey....something small,
magotty and useless....thats were it started for us in High Brooms
juniors ;-)

Yes, must have been about 1978.
Their annual appeal was in aid of Cambodia and they hit their target in
about 3 days. Usually their appeals seemed to drag on for months, the
little lights on the totaliser moving up painfully slowly.
Does anybody remember the great chocolate bar hoax?
They had been auctioning off this giant chocolate bar for some childrens
hospital and the bidding had just gone crazy, finally ending up at 30K or
something. Unfortunately it was a hoax call and the bar eventually ended
up being sold for less than a grand.

Yeah. Not as good as 'Water On Glass' though.

Uh - oh. I've now got the keyboard tune from 'Cambodia' as an earworm,
and it's no good you blaming it on Alan 'cos I saw his post earlier
and didn't make the association.

Perhaps he was really called Steve Deacon and Blue Peter were just being
insulting, then.
