As I am of the young-but-not-as-young-as-the-whippersnappers-who-frequnet-my-local-alternative-club-who-know-barely-any-songs-pre-1997 category (and I am, if you cannot tell, drunk) I would like to say:

Ooh, I could crush a grape!

Take a letter... oh, P, it's P... right... (pretends to read from clipboard) P, you have to dunk your head in this vat of treacle... (squeals of pleasure from sadistic audience of 5 year olds) right, now go and Take another letter... right... F, F, let's see... (pretends to read from clipboard again) Ooh no! You have to shove your face in this tray of rice crispies! Hence they will possibly stick to the treacle from the last thing you did! Who'd have thought it! I mean, it's not as if it's the same every fucking week!

Is that true? Explain more please. What's happening to the sitcom?

Tis true... Mr. Griffiths has since posted more detailed info on his Reynard thread.

Almost spot-on, Pete. Except for Stu Francis's immortal catchphrase, "Oooh, you won't like me, you've got a stunt!".

(Meanwhile, the Burt Rhodes Orchestra plays a Beach Boys medley, and children scream in a frightening way.)

I once saw a very early, 50's Crackerjack at a TV convention - it was unbelievable how nasty Eamonn Andrews was to the kiddies in that "Double or Drop" rubbish, "Well now, hah ha, you were wrong, so you've got another cabbage!" cue side of the mouth grin, "Oh! You've dropped them all - did you see that, boys and girls! My goodness, you're out of the game now, hah hah!" All to do with him being a good Catholic boy and taught by Jesuits, I should think....
