He cast Roy Hudd as Pavarotti, June Whitfield as a sabre-toothed tiger, David Mitchell as a lusty railway station announcer, Toby Jones as a seedy newsagent and Matt Lucas as a tuba-playing cartoonist. He persuaded a sign language interpreter to swear on Radio Four. But, to be frank, he’s a pretty odd author.

Too Naked for the Nazis – Alan Stafford’s biography of sand dancing trio Wilson, Keppel & Betty – won the Diagram Prize for oddest book title of the year. It wasn’t always on Fridays, it wasn’t always at five to five, but it was – and ever will be – Crackerjack. This Crackerjack celebration is packed with anecdotes from cast and crew – including Michael Aspel, Pip Hinton, Jillian Comber, Christine Holmes, Rod McLennan, Little and Large, Jacqueline Clarke, Don Maclean, Jan Hunt, Bernie Clifton, The Krankies, Stu Francis, Sam Nixon, Mark Rhodes and many more.

In this updated paperback edition, Alan Stafford traces the hilarious history of Crackerjack recalling the best of the onscreen fun while revealing loads of backstage secrets. With Sam & Mark, jumbo-sized Crackerjack pencils, and contestants being dropped along with the cabbages! Eamonn Andrews piling prizes on the clever-clogs and cloth cabbages on the chumps … the pompous and perpetually heckled Glaze Lectures … those slapstick silent movies … historical finales with anachronistic pop songs … or Stu Francis splattered with garish gunge. If you were a child in the late ‘50s, the ‘60s, the ‘70s or early ‘80s you’ll have your own memory of TV’s longest-running teatime variety show. No, not Leslie Crowther and Peter Glaze! The Crackerjack pencil and the Double or Drop cabbage. Crackerjack (the TV show with the built-in echo) gave us two enduring icons of Children’s Television … one long and thin, one round and plump.
