Tony - am I older than you? I remember Eamon Andrews presenting Crackerjack! Leslie Crowther & Peter Glaze were on it too. Do you remember Double or Drop with the cabbage if you got a question wrong? Anyone remember Pussycat Willum with Muriel Young? Or Oliver Polyp the octopus who was painted on Rolf Harris' hand? Twizzle Four Feather Falls Sue xx

I remember that one Becs. Didn't they also loan their membership to a distant friend ( or was it a close relative ? ) and then washed their hands of the indignities that others had to suffer.

Rag Doll Anna Yes it was Crackerjack - but the later version with Stu Francis (I think) and it was also in colour. Sad but that was the late sixties - Peter Glase and Leslie Crowther
