Crackerjack (the TV show with the built-in echo) gave us two enduring icons of Children?s Television ? one long and thin, one round and plump. No, not Leslie Crowther and Peter Glaze! The Crackerjack pencil and the Double or Drop cabbage.
If you were a child in the late ?50s, the ?60s, the ?70s or early ?80s you?ll have your own memory of TV?s longest-running teatime variety show. Eamonn Andrews piling prizes on the clever-clogs and cloth cabbages on the chumps ? the pompous and perpetually heckled Glaze Lectures ? those slapstick silent movies ? historical finales with anachronistic pop songs ? or Stu Francis splattered with garish gunge.
Then suddenly, in 2020, it was back. With Sam & Mark, jumbo-sized Crackerjack pencils, and contestants being dropped along with the cabbages!
In this updated paperback edition, Alan Stafford traces the hilarious history of Crackerjack recalling the best of the onscreen fun while revealing loads of backstage secrets. This Crackerjack celebration is packed with anecdotes from cast and crew ? including Michael Aspel, Pip Hinton, Jillian Comber, Christine Holmes, Rod McLennan, Little and Large, Jacqueline Clarke, Don Maclean, Jan Hunt, Bernie Clifton, The Krankies, Stu Francis, Sam Nixon, Mark Rhodes and many more.
It wasn?t always on Fridays, it wasn?t always at five to five, but it was ? and ever will be ? Crackerjack. CRACKERJACK!!!

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
