Take a letter.....the letter V....which Italian city is famous for a leaning tower ? The leaning tower of Visa ? Eh - I'm sure she didn't grab the letter P ????
@DANWOODHOUSE The "Burnt beans" really did look real. There was an interview with Stu Francis that I heard on the radio years ago and he said that the "Gravy that was used on Floella Benjiman was real gravy. So who knows......
@DANWOODHOUSE I think there was a bit of a purge on food-based forfeits on kids' telly (on the BBC at least) once the news of the Ethopia famine broke in 1984, as dumping beans, etc. on people (even if past sell-by date) suddenly seemed a bit unethical. As you said, Edmonds' gunge was mostly natrosol-based, and I think the forfeits on the final, 1984-filmed series of Crackerjack may well have been as well (to be confirmed). gc

This edition was transmitted on 11 November 1983 - I know because it was my 10th birthday. Loved it, certainly brings back memories.

If Crackerjack was on nowadays the kids would not be winning the crackerjack pen they would be winning the crackerjack iphone!
