Tiswas - Phantom Flan Flinger - Legs & Co, Dennis Waterman

[@daveywynter1607]

Best reason to wake up on Saturday morning just for tiswaz.

[@daveycole3426]

Tiswas,very sadly missed.This was the highlight of our weekend,never went out until it was finished.Happy days,long gone,but never forgotten.

[@paulnash7630]

Forget about the phantom flan flinger, just concentrate on the beutiful Legs and Co, great day's gone forever 😢😢

[@gordonmculloch4904]

Tiswas. The perfect Saturday hangover cure show. 👍

[@cupcakefairy87]

The greatest thing about You Tube is that the site introduces bygone TV shows like this to new generations. I wasn't alive when this TV show was on, being born in 1987, but thanks to this amazing website, I get to enjoy funny clips like these!

[@78a67h]

1987? Then you have totally missed Pans People, Ruby Flipper, and Legs & Co. Don't you worry about missing Zoo. See if you can catch up on KZbin.

[@michelle-louiseburrows2248]

The Phantom Flan Flinger - probably the greatest living Briton ever.

[@phillipmcmullen316]

Was TFF really Benny Mills?…my father in law thinks so…🤔💕

[@cupcakefairy87]

Rumour has it he was Jim Davidson....

[@Hairlficksmodelphoto]

Imagine any of todays popstars and actors putting up with this?

[@johncohen222]

Agree completely. I can't imagine JLo or Britney Spears appearing on a Saturday morning kids show to get pied and gunged.

[@craigsimons817]

No way! I seem to recall Rachel Stevens flouncing off Dick and Dom’s rather than get gunged. Spoilsport.

[@Sr19769p]

Best Saturday morning show ever! I was on it for my 7th birthday; lots of fun but getting covered in pies like that is 'orrible; I left the studio twice as messy with a daft costume on lol

[@mrbojangles7577]

Loved it. The phantom flan finger and compost corner. Brilliant.❤

Best Saturday morning show on tv PERIOD !! LEGENDs

[@RAYalized]

Thanks for uploading this.. very interesting programm!

[@bucksby]

Brilliant clip. many thanks for posting

[@bazilmatthews9299]

The best Saturday morning programme ever

[@gillypot1]

so sorry you weren't there to see one of the greatest TV programmes in History.....the other being Swap Shop, these 2 were supposed to be for kids but a great many adults watched them too. In those days there wasn't such a thing as a Video Recorder so you had to watch some of Tiswas and then dash over to Swap Shop and you were like that all morning!!!!

[@arthurvasey]

Watch the first hour of Swap Shop, then switch over to Tiswas - couldn’t do that in my part of the world - we only had three options (other than turning it off - how do you watch telly at all when it’s turned off - or watch a programme on one channel when the telly is on the other channel? Tell my idiotic parents that!) - Swap Shop on BBC 1, Open University on BBC 2 or a crappy old film of no interest whatsoever to kids on Tyne-Tees - usually a war film - who wants to watch a war film being shown in place of the anarchy that was Tiswas? Kids in the area between Northumberland and North Yorkshire, apparently - Tyne Tees felt that movies about the war or old movies not necessarily about the war would have greater appeal to kids up our way than the anarchy that was Tiswas on ITV!

[@theradgegadgie6352]

VCRs did exist, but they were hideously expensive. They first came out for the home market in 1975 and were about £,1500.

[@ackerjawaka1966]

​@@theradgegadgie6352my dad paid nearly a grand for a ferguson video star, one of the first front loaders then banned me from using it ♠️🍀

[@cedarcam]

I rented my first VCR from Granada, cost a fortune to buy one and renting was not cheap. Tapes were around £9 for a 3 pack. It was fantastic I could now watch both Swap Shop and this.

[@MrMjp58]

The FFF was one of the greatest ever TV characters.

[@saskcarp]

At 2:25 the girl says "fuck off" what a show 😂

[@Bimmeroo090-cl5cz]

Can't hear it...but she does seem to mouth it!

[@johncohen222]

Great to see Dennis Waterman on Tiswas. Did he write the feem toon, sing the feem toon?

[@JazzFunk22]

Ohhh you are awful but I like you 🎶 🎶...👩‍🦳

Brilliant 😂 ahhh those were the days 😢

[@as3cs3]

the mini flan-flinger is a hoot 😄

[@fireballfireball6962]

Class!

[@MarmaladeStex]

Apparently there were Several Phantom Flan Flingers including a Female & The whisper is that the First to do it was Jim Davidson!.

[@ackerjawaka1966]

Jim Davidson only did it cos the guy who played the FFF who played him most of the time was off ill 😜 he was unmasked on one of the reunions and he is one of CT mates who is also a taxi driver 😜

[@zanducktv2398]

There was lots of Tiswas influenced slapstick when Jim took over from Brucie as host of the Generation Game, with custard pies and gunge sketches when introducing the contestants and even with the conveyor belt finale. Ruined it and made it too silly.

[@jemmabond]

I knew children who actually had Phantom Flan Flinger parties in their backyards back in the day. I was so jealous; they is no way that would've happened in our household because my mother hated this show - she preferred Swap Shop with Noel Bloody Edmonds...

[@philhode5104]

Same we were not allowed to watch it!,bbc had blue Peter,its magpie,swop shop and tiswas,if our parents went shopping on Saturday we would turn over to tiswas!,then back soon as we see them

[@philhode5104]

I think most mothers secretly had a crush on Edmondson,while the dads were Maggie phibin

[@danielwilliamson6180]

RIP Dennis Waterman.

[@craigsimons817]

The Phantom Flan Flinger was the most heinous caper of his/her/it’s time. No one was safe and getting flinged at was something of an honour, a kind of antidote to a Blue Peter badge. TV Gold.

[@Nooziterp1]

Can I clean them up afterwards?

[@tomhaskett5161]

Legs and Co were good sports!

[@mikeh5431]

Brilliant

[@theeggtimertictic1136]

Great memories of my father telling us how stupid this programme was as we rolled about laughing 😂

[@carnalea2424]

I remember John Gorman playing a dim policeman called PC Plod. Plus Chris Tarrant introducing comedian Roger Webb as 'Cliff Richard's younger brother.'

Poor Patti got hammered there..

[@terrycharnley]

I know, that was the only stinker!! No video recorders to keep up with it all, they came along just a little too late! I too switched from Swap Shop to Tiswas. They were both great, talk about a tough choice!! Tiswas though was such FUN! Those dancers were real sports.

[@gotany1]

I still do the dying fly.

[@phillipmcmullen316]

I saw Lenny Henry on holiday in Porthleven. I was desperate to shout out-COMPOST CORNER! But. He’s a bit moody these days…😒

[@flabbybum9562]

He was great on Tiswas, but apart from charity work, he's done nothing of any note since. It seems to have turned him bitter.

[@Bimmeroo090-cl5cz]

Porthleven well and truly off the beaten track, wonder why he went all that way?

[@Bimmeroo090-cl5cz]

@@flabbybum9562 I hear him on radio ads doing Holiday Inn promos but yes, I agree seems only to have done minor work on stage and radio,...nothing of note as you say....but also comes across as quite sour and bitter, often pushing some agenda on ''racism''....most of it wildly overblown and exaggerated.

[@europa2000man]

@@Bimmeroo090-cl5czThat just seems to be the way everyone is in this miserable Politically Correct world we all sadly live in. Nothing but bitterness and hatred about the past. What annoys me with people talking about the past is that everyone has nothing but negativity towards them. It’s very rare you hear positive things about the past. I know bad things happened back then like wars and unemployment and discrimination, etc. But wait, it’s still happening today and will do so into the future. Some stuff may not be happening on our doorsteps, but it’s still happening in some way or another. So when people mention these negative things of the past, just remember it’s happening somewhere else in the world today.

I grew up in the Black Country in the 70s and everyone watched Tiswas especially as it was a Midlands based show. There were a few middle class kids who were not allowed to watch it though.

We could not have foam in peoples faces now as some contestants could have a foam allergy that could bring on a panic attack.Thankfully we do not see these potentialy harmful scenes anymore. Contestants health and safety must be paramount so this behaviour should not be tolerated in todays compensation culture society.
