Andrew O' Connor and The Flashing Blade

Anyone remember the name of the kid's show that Andrew O Connor used to do with Bernie Nolan and I think Kate Copstick - they used to show a spoof of The Flashing Blade on it if I remember correctly. (and I'm old enough to remember The Flashing Blade when they showed it in the proper format, how sad) Ignore the average reviews Magicians has got some good gags in it, if you like Mitchell, Webb or Jessica Stevenson you'll enjoy it!

On the waterfront?????

Hey, yeah I remember the original. Brings back fond memories of Summer holidays. I'm in Scotland however and unfortunately the TV schedules used to follow the English school holidays, which were partially different, so I don't think I ever saw it all. I've looked at the DVD a few times and would be really tempted to buy it if it was a bit cheaper. Not sure how well it would really stand up though.

This has been bugging me, who was the fourth presenter of On the Waterfront? It was a bloke but not sure who.

I remember on the waterfront! That was my favourite saturday morning show. There were the two guys who loved lard! The theme tune was brilliant too. I can remember what the other guy looked like but I can't think what his name was.

They call me the Thread-Killer Extraordinaire!
