How well I remember Leslie and Peter Glaze in Crackerjack in the 1960s - and Eamonn Andrews in the show in the late 1950s. A great children's BBC television programme.

I watched Crackerjack in the 1970s. I remember Peter Glaze with another man, but can't remember who it was. I'm fairly sure it wasn't either Eamonn Andrews or Leslie Crowther though, I have the name 'Don' in my mind, but knowing how I mix up memories, I could be wrong. Can anyone remember? Later there was another presenter, called I think Stu Francis. I've a feeling his catch phras was 'oooh, I could crush a grape'.
Back to the original thread of Michael Mcintyre, I must try and get my hands on a copy of his book. From what I've seen of him on TV I think he's really funny. I can now tolerate the family watching Britain's Got Talent as some of his comments are so good.
Don McLean? I'd forgotten him until you mentioned that Katherine. Ed Stewart also had a stint on it - known as Ed Stewpot in his heyday I think! Pip Hinton was the petite lady who was in it from the start - (again, I think!)
'Tis loving and giving that makes life worth living.
Thanks Daisy and Anita. Don McLean sounds right. I think they used have a joke that went 'McLean? Yes, I had a bath this morning!' I'd forgotten about Ed Stewart, I used to watch him too and the Krankies.
I don't remember the female assistant, I've tried to picture her, but the only ones I can think of were in either The Golden Shot or It's A Knockout.
