Games, comedy sketches and music in this long-running theatre variety series for children. 'It's Friday. It's Five to Five. Microsoft Text Speech Voice Software. And it's Crackerjack!' While this children's variety show didn't always hold this timeslot (it was ten years before it became a Friday fixture), it undoubtedly ushered in the weekend for generations of schoolkids.
Crackerjack began as a live show broadcast from the BBC's Shepherd's Bush Theatre. Traditional children's variety acts (jugglers, magicians) were interspersed with party games involving members of the school blazer-clad audience. General knowledge quiz Double or Drop was devised by first host Eamonn Andrews - three children balanced armfuls of prizes but were 'awarded' a cabbage for a wrong answer. Two wrong answers or dropping your prizes meant you were out. The game disappeared when Andrews left but returned in the 1970s (reappearing on Blue Peter in 2002-3).
