Whenever someone said the word Crackerjack, everyone had to shout it out… Crackerjack!!… it was the rule.
It’s hard to believe how much we loved this as kids, but we did.
They had inane games where everyone won a Crackerjack pencil… (Crackerjack!!). Can you credit it…? the prize was actually a pencil. Well, those things must be worth a bob or two now…
Best thing was the mad stand up routine with Peter Glaze and Leslie Crowther at the beginning, characterised by the stupidity of one and countless double takes by the other.

It was like a big party. At five to five on a Friday we were always glued to Crackerjack… (Crackerjack!!)
