Kids on stage with prizes and cabbages. What are you watching on TV? quite old?!


Question: Crackerjack was a British children's comedy/variety BBC television series. It started on 12 September 1955 and ran for 400 shows in B&W and later colour until 1984. Through its long run it featured Eamonn Andrews, Max Bygraves, Leslie Crowther, Ed "Stewpot" Stewart, Stu Francis, Peter Glaze, Don Maclean, Michael Aspel, Jan Hunt, The Krankies, Bernie Clifton, Rod McLennan and Ronnie Corbett amongst many others.

One of the most memorable games was a quiz called "Double or Drop", where each contestant was given a prize to hold for each question answered correctly, but given a cabbage if they answered incorrectly. They were out of the game if they dropped any of the items they were holding or received a third cabbage.

It was an accepted unwritten rule that whenever a presenter spoke the word 'Crackerjack', the audience would shout "Crack-er-jack!" loudly. This custom has passed into popular culture.

A standard consolation prize to children who appeared on the show was the Crackerjack Pencil (later upgraded to a Crackerjack pen). These were kept in a special locked cabinet and only handed out to people who had won them and when an official asked for one once, he was refused.

The show was introduced with the phrase "It's Friday, it's five o'clock. . . It's Crackerjack!",
