Writing about The Krankies earlier this week I couldn’t help but remember Crackerjack, the long running childrens variety tv show which sadly came to an end in 1984. Â They just don’t make shows like that any more…
Crackerjack of course featured different acts each week, but for the comedy act it was usually one or other of The Krankies, The Great Suprendo or Basil Brush. Â Oh, and Bernie Clifton always used to appear running around pretending to ride an ostrich. Â I wonder how many people have run marathons dressed like that? Â Anyway, the question this week is simple – which of these regular acts did you like most?
Which was the best guest act on Crackerjack?
Basil Brush rules, even down under. Loved his laugh and as a kid, could copy it to a tee.
Yeah, I have a soft spot for good old Basil. The way he made terrible jokes funny with his crazy laugh and Boom Boom catchphrase was quite amazing.
