Crackerjack - Hallo My Dalek - March 1975

[@Loverboy19691]

That was amazing. I remember watching this when it first went out, not seen it since, until today, Wednesday 15th of March 2017, almost exactly 42 years, and I still remember the dance with the Dalek, and the music.

Andrew Dexter Shame I was just under 6 months from being born. #lol Don does a interesting take on Tom ;)

I remember watching this as a child 1st time around - lovely seeing this again - Used to watch Crackerjack every week - Sad to see some have sadly passed away but great to see them as I remember them - Thank You

[@MaskedMan66]

Thank you! There's a short clip of this in the special "More Than Thirty Years in the TARDIS," and I've always wanted to see the rest!

[@ftumschk]

Peter Glaze, here playing the "Brigadier", also appeared as a Sensorite in the Hartnell story of the same name.

Loved all the business of standing on the scarf!

[@colonelbarker]

Thank you for sharing!

[@ianwilliams5866]

I haven’t seen that in nigh on 50 years. A few cultural references that would’ve been lost on a modern of audiences like “fighting the flab” from Terry Wogan’s radio two show. Still quite amusing. “Gerroff the scarf!”

[@Clodhopping]

Oh dear. The definition of "light" entertainment.... 😮

[@Widmerpool99]

Damn, Don MacLean was as funny as piles.

[@redblade8160]

Widmerpool99. And just as excruciating!

[@frankshailes3205]

Jan Hunt this year (2019) is still performing and says she wants to be in the revived Crackerjack. Search for the Daily Mirror article!

[@TheValeyard92]

I'd seen excerpts of this in 30 Years in the TARDIS... ... and that was more than enough.

[@terryperring104]

Don should have done HERMAN MUNSTER!

[@FrankNFurter1000]

You know how a spoof ends up being more embarrassing than the elements of a show they are trying to spoof? Yeah, that.

[@davidbull7210]

Jimmy Saville hiding in props.

[@alexfletcher5192]

Yeah yeah, the hardened fan knows the connections, but this is joyful simply because entertainment and drama (and everything else for that matter) was produced at the BBC on roughly the same level and with the same kind of resources. Once they get in the studio that becomes obvious.

[@DALEKSLAYER1]

Is there something interesting on the ceiling Dalek?

[@MrSirMrSirMr]

It's so difficult to make Doctor Who spoofs actually funny.

[@SamLowryDZ-015]

And it still hasn't made it on to any DVD set as an extra

Peter Glaze (The Brig) should be used to this as he appeared in "The Sensorites".

Countdown brought me here. Who on Earth is Don Maclean?

[@Silverwind87]

Hey, it could be canon.

[@MaskedMan66]

What are they chanting at 6:20?

[@originalveghead]

I believe they're chanting "Oggle Cockle, Oggle Cockle". The origin can be heard on the album: www.discogs.com/Don-MacLean-Jacqueline-Clarke-Peter-Glaze-Christine-Ozanne-Crackerjack/release/10280932 In a nutshell, the joke was something like: "Why do they call milkbottles 'oggle cockles' in Venice? Because when they put them outside the door at night they go 'oggle cockle, oggle cockle, oggle cockle...' When I was about 7 I thought this was the funniest joke ever written. ...crackerjack. You know.

Sigh, the England I knew is disappearing. We were one nation back then, not some horrible multi-racial soup.

[@terryperring104]

What the fuck do you expect? Placement of multi ethnicities just to appease racist schmucks like you? In 1975?

[@redblade8160]

I never did like Crackerjack as a kid (and those kinds of shows), I thought it was pathetic and boring.

[@peterward2275]

It was very self-indulgent and with the sketches especially, you got the feeling they were enjoying themselves much more than the kids.
