I wonder what Dexter Fletcher is doing with himself these days, I know he was in Bugsy Malone as Babyface and he later found fame in a children,s series Press Gang. Dexter played Spike Thompson a character who fancied Julia Sawalha's character Lucy, I think Dexter was in an advert with Julia Sawalha and some of the other cast members, in the 80s or 90s an advert about drugs if I remember correctly.
This is like Fist Of Fun's Peter Dibdin, with his mad mnemonics for learning how to drive. Like the traffic light sequence..."red is the colour of the apple, that's right, stop"..."but what about green apples?"
I wonder how many children were mown down by traffic in the 70s because they had to rely on this rubbish acronym. The technobabble Pertwee spouted as Dr Who made more sense.
Well the first half of Splink makes some sense, but I've a feeling they ran out of meaningful words they could use and still make an acronym that can be said out loud. I'm glad that film predates my learning to cross the road, because I'd probably get run-over while crossing trying to remember what the hell the "ink" parts actually stood for, instead of watching out for cars.
No it is Tucker Jenkins (and Mark Fowler)! - Todd Carty played the elder boy and the younger boy is Dexter Fletcher from Lock, Stock and Hotel Babylon
There was an alternative version of this PIF, in which white animated arrows pointed to the children's feet in the "stand on the pavement near the kerb" part, and the listening part of the drill was enhanced with an animated "radar" and synthesized sound effect. In turn, has anyone realised that the older boy's Todd Carty in his pre-Grange Hill days?
