Man, ads really seemed quieter back then, they weren't trying to be annoying, loud, or overly long spectacles for something mundane, just a quick show of what they had whilst trying to fit in a bit of fun. Also, that Tesco ad got a laugh from me given to get the best prices now requires their club-card.
Jack's Throwback Attack doesn't upload often, but when he does, everything he does upload is of the highest quality, if you're partial for nostalgic content
My favourites were Horrid Henry (2006), Mr Magoo (Reboot), Sonic X (2003), Grizley Tales (2006), Animaniacs (1993), Tiny Toons (1990), Scrambled (2020) Jungle Run (2003) Tom and Jerry Tales (2006) and Pokémon (1999)
What a lovely bloke Tim is. I didn't watch Mike & Angelo as much as other CITV shows but i do feel really strong nostalgia for it, especially the theme tune, it just takes me back to very particular time. It was lovely hearing Tim talk, one of those people who you could listen to for hours. Thanks for this, Jack, I've only just found your channel but I'm gonna be going through your other interviews now! As someone else mentioned, it would be great to get someone on from My Parents Are Aliens.
Robin Stevens what an absolutely legend of great children's television programmes from the likes of Tots TV to Rosie and Jim and lots more brilliant shows. I love this interview and it is nice to hear about Robin's other work apart from the stuff he worked on with Ragdoll for example the BBC series for children Corners that was very similar in a way to CITV's fun and fact show How 2 which ran on CITV for a very long time and it was really interesting how Robin did Jo Corner on that programme. I love hearing behind the scenes secrets of Tots TV and it is interesting how Robin mentioned that Andrew Davenport used to do Tiny's voice I always have loved Tots TV and to think it ran for a staggering 5 years starting in 1993 and finishing in 1998 is just amazing it was a brilliant pre-school show. I absolutely love your podcasts Jack they are brilliant and great fun to listen to I love the guests you have interviewed
Thank you so much for uploading this to RU-vid this is brilliant and absolutetly fascinating I love these interviews with people who were involved in pre-school and other children's television. If it is not too much of a problem would it be possible to make a big podcast where you talk to everyone who was involved in pre-school television as it would be interesting to hear a podcast about that and what it was like working on children's shows
Wow what an amazing interview to stumble upon. I LOVED Mike and Angelo. He still sounds the same as his character back then even his laugh sounds like Angelo. When you guys mentioned about it being a golden era. Your right! You just don’t get TV like that no more… well you don’t really get children TV anymore. You and Tim should do a watch along with an episode. Would love to listen to a commentary version x
Thank you so much, it was such an enjoyable chat and we chatted for ages before and after as well. Tim's a great person. This was recorded during lockdown but once it was over we did meet up and he was nothing but lovely. Hey that's a great idea! I'd love to, maybe one day.
42:01 HANG ON! WE HAVE A BLACK AND WHITE CAT! but in all seriousness, his name is Howard and we got him as part of Ella's birthday present before covid happen. He was part of a litter of kittens and he was named after one of the characters from The hit Sitcom, The Big Bang Theory. Howard is the jewish one.
Before Children’s ITV and CITV the children’s segment was called ‘Watch IT’. Thames Television also has the Thames Television Children’s club this all consolidated into Children’s ITV😊
Sad to know the house that was built was left to go to pot and got vandalized and trashed. The farmer who owned that on his land should of kept that going. Would of made a lovely little tourist attraction. I would of paid to see it.
This was really a trip down memory lane listening to this and as well other interviews. I'm really enjoying this one. I do wish to go back to the good days of the late 90s and very early 2000s. I do miss it.
Jack, this is phenomenal! Thank you so much. I’m actually a subscriber to Marc’s RU-vid channel and he actually responded to a comment I sent him telling him how much I loved his work on both Fifi and Roary and how big of a part he played in my childhood.
