I loved Tiswas and spent Saturday mornings in bed watching. Very sad that Lenny chose not to be there. Maybe it doesn't fit in with his current thoughts but i think he should have made the effort as he was brilliant. Sadly Frank Carson didn't get a mention but he was a genuinely funny man. The sketch when the team was trying not to laugh at him is a classic and on you tube....RIP Frank. Well done and thank you all for making Saturday mornings so special😅
What a heart warming reunion!! I was moved to tears seeing the old gang back together probably for the very last time. I had the privilege to go on the show Christmas 1980. I was only 9 years old at the time and I absolutely loved every minute of it. They dressed me up as the Baby Phantom and I got to pie the Baron nights! You can feel this show was a real labour of Love and thank you so much Chris, Sally , Bob, John and Lenny for making my Saturday mornings over a brief period very happy! God bless you guys! ❤
I was lucky to attend TISWAS at the ATV studios back in 1980 with many from our school in Droitwich Worcester, We had a great mad time there" something that i will never forget, 💯👌👍
I had a great time that day. Sadly I had to leave for the last train as Chris & John were about to throw the buckets so I’m dead pleased to see the last few minutes of the show. Thanks Matthew! 😊
I was and am a MASSIVE fan of TISWAS. I also adored How Dare You! and all the rest. It would pretty much be true to say that Clive Webb was my childhood hero for his gleeful delight in torturing and humiliating kids on these shows. I always remembered him picking on a girl in the audience of HDY! and emptying a glass of water over her head as part of a magic trick. I'm a seventies-spawned brat who grew up in the eighties and came of age in the mid nineties. I adored shows like this and always felt deprived that I never got to go on one. As an adult I run a side-line that puts kids through dunk tanks, gunge tanks and puts them in stocks for custard pies, buckets of water and all sorts of other things at fetes, fairs and festivals. I never grew up mentally or emotionally; I rejoice in the company of happy/partly-terrified children and I'm quite proud of all these things. That being said, what I'm about to say will probably come as a surprise.... 5:55 To be honest CT, the lack of care taken of those girls was pretty shitty even by the standards of the early eighties. You basically committed common assault and criminal damage on them to get a sixty second TV spot. Their teachers didn't know, their parents didn't know and they didn't know what you were about to do to them. (Although one might put forward an argument that this was pretty naïve, given what you did to The Ramblers a year or two prior - although that did at least appear to know what was about to happen.) There were no changes of clothes, no cleaning facilities and they stayed soaked through and covered in crap for about two hours (In December - so add putting them at risk of hypothermia to the list!) afterward on the journey home, because you couldn't be arsed to have any facilities in place to look after them after they were jumped by Clive Webb and Oliver Spencer. Obviously it was an iconic piece of kids' TV, and it electrified my child mind like a strong dose of alternating current, but if I'd been there on the day as a parent or teacher, I would've gone to prison for assault myself. I would've gone fucking mental.
Will someone tell Bob he's actually got two hands he could use 🤣 I lived in the south so never got to see Tizwaz unless I visited my granny up north, but this was an iconic series led so ably by Chris and Sally. I hope they showed Bernhard Manning being hoisted up in a harness over gloop, so funny and uncomfortable lol 😅 Tizwaz was a bit similar to Dick and Dom in The Bungalow, half made for the adults.
So much has changed over the years. I wasn’t a kid when Tiz Waz was out but it made my old mum & dad laugh. Especially when they threw the gunk over the adults 🤣. Everyone loved Sally James and Bob Carolgees was funny with that spit the dog puppet. Happy Days. 🤣🤣👍
Why were the clips of the show cut out? You're not worried about copyright on a show that isn't monetised, isn't being repeated or revived, and is four and half decades old, are you?
Most of the clips that were probably shown have been on RU-vid for years so this "copyright" thing is rubbish, matthew butler singing bright eyes has been on youtube in various videos for yonks, so I don't know why they said this..... 😊
For those writing Chris is annoying shouldnt forget he is the Genius who created Tiswas. Without Chris Tarrant there wouldnt be a TIswas. So give him a bit of respect and cut him some slack! And dont forget the guy had a stroke so he might not be 100% anymore.
It's a shame they don't show the clips. Why they couldn't find the Trevor McDoughnut scene I don't know because it is on one of the video compilations.
@@SlapstickFestival after 40 years? you'd think they wouldn't be bothered, showing the clips could only be a good thing bringing it back into the public domain. It deserves to be shown whats left of Tiswas as a lot has been lost.
Good. Because he is an establishment wanker. My uncle was Script Associate on OTT....and often said Lenny Henry needed 2 chairs at the group read-through: one for him and one for his massively inflated ego.
