[@shauncorless8965]

It was just what Saturday morning needed 😅

[@nigelfranciscarty8887]

I absolutely loved Tiswas. And I never forgot the Phantom Flan Flinger or Lenny Henry. Classic!!

[@mikecorlett3414]

Seeing Sally James in her fishnets is something l will never forget.

[@ianmcfadden5450]

Best TV kids show ever!!! Today is Saturday, watch & smile!!!

[@metalheadprime2]

Tiswas...Pure classic madness:)))...Loved it!

[@borjon23]

How Phantom Flan Finger could get away with these attacks time after time without precautions being taken, I will never know!

[@kurtvanderbogarde8402]

because it was a TV show and he was a character

[@oddities-whatnot]

Can you imagine the risk assessment required if this was on TV today !

[@Allaboutdisinformation]

Just appreciating this now, never too late.

[@EstefannieLennox]

NUNCA superare este video!! Annie se ve hermosa!

[@TheBerbeamas]

the Phantom is the most despicable super villian of all time. shud make a film about the phantom

[@gyobfan22]

"How dare you, this is an outrage!" Lol

[@see6052]

Annie Lennox lmao

[@araregoodguy]

"yep urm theres the phantom flan flinger THE PHANTOM FLAN FLINGER OH NOES!"

[@kurtvanderbogarde8402]

I like how the Phantom lunges forward when his music starts then has to take a step back because he hasn't got any pies and needs to grab some off the table and try again.

[@sheilamerkin]

When Saturdays were fun

[@wpinklady]

thats look so much fun & i remember Tiswas very well!!

[@salilm1]

best Saturday morning show :) .Always wanted to know how you get on the show

[@DavidChrisMartyn]

Estimated to be from a show around the September/October 1980 time period.

[@markc1990]

DavidChrisMartyn, and 3 months later, they sadly disbanded.

[@thelowlightsmusic]

Annie Lennox getting flan'ned, wow! Was Dave Stewart getting involved in the melee, sans cowboy hat??

[@benmarshall404]

He was indeed although his hat came off! He was having a laugh and getting stuck in...unlike his band mate!

[@Yehbytheway]

We know who the stig is but did we ever find out who the Phantom flan flinger was ! Did he split from the show to write his autobiography and move to the Jay Leno show.

[@StormKittyAnimations]

0:31The Phantom Flangers Flinger OH NO!!!

[@robertcomer2767]

Could you just imagine having to take your kids down Broad Street after coming away from that 😂😂😂😂😂

[@kurtvanderbogarde8402]

Broad Street was just a normal shopping High Street back then before it became Nightclub Central. (The Rum Runner was planting the seed at this point.)

[@me_am_cat]

Utter chaotic joy

[@stevehx1]

Do you have this full episode? I would love to see it

[@littlebitoftis74]

As an owner of much of the surviving archive, this actual episode is not complete.

[@sealevel51]

The phantom flan flinger must be brought to justice! He is guilty of harboring PWD's Pies of Mass Destruction!

[@kurtvanderbogarde8402]

and he's a cr@p taxi driver, yeah

[@bagsbunny]

The Phantom was, variously, producer John Gorman (of the Scaffold and Lily the Pink fame) or sometimes manic comic/magician Clive Webb.

[@mrgobrien]

I always think it was jim davidson originally and then the others you say, but at one point he was this guy too - www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/local-news/phantom-flan-flinger-unmasked-birmingham-165117

[@MrDunkiep]

I actually worked out it was jim Davidson when i was a kid. He had very distinctive eyes.

[@crazyjonhereagain]

You see who he is on OTT as he was one of the team

[@kurtvanderbogarde8402]

Mostly it was Benny Mills, Brum cabbie and out of work bit part actor. Early on in late '77 it was Jim Davison then a production secretary called Helen Piddock.

[@kurtvanderbogarde8402]

@@mrgobrien yeah, Benny Mills. Two great Bennys to come from ATV Land.

[@garryleerob]

I believe (please correct me if I'm mistaken) Annie Lennox really was pissed off and threw a tantrum after being flanned. She came back in later years but stated she must not ever get flanned or soaked again.

[@fluorosco]

Poor Annie Lennox. She didn't like the flan in the mush. There must be a Phantom... flingin me a tart

[@moiracd]

If you are invited onto a show like that and expect to get away pie in the face free, you haven't done much research. I'd happily have got plastered in custard pies if I was old enough at the time

My mum thought it was an awful show I loved swap shop I was not a posh kid but in general it was so much better.but I do think some cartoons and special guest were decent I saw ant rap first time on the show adam and the ants I think my mum did forgive Chris Tarrant many years later on who wants to be a millionaire sadly lost my mum now 9 years ago but I remember the shock of tiswas it seemed sort of crazy with throwing water and locking in cages it was just a bit much for me to watch as a kid on Saturday morning but there you go
