    Sam and Mark are an underrated duo. Had a beer with the former just last week in town. Nice lad.

    Sam used to work in the bakers at the top of our road - nice lad by all accounts. Not sure he still lives round here but he's proud of his roots .....

    It's Friday, it's five to five, it's crackerjack. I used to love watching it when Ed Stewart was presenter.

    You forgot Shep. They were the hosts when I first started watching. I'm guessing you do too.

    Crackerjack was a must in the day. Kids weren’t that bright. I’d have had a great big shopping bag to carry all that stuff stood on the plinth. ( top hat. Cabbages pencils etc.):cool:

    Watched it as a nipper but can only remember the last bit where they asked questions for prizes or a cabbage if you got it wrong. What went off before that finale?

    I think Eamon Andrews was the main host and Crowther and Glaze were the sidekick comedians.
