Wasn't there an ATV announcer called Pat Astley? Presumably Gordon's father. Yes and Yes. I think Pat Astley may have presented the odd Tingha and Tucker show when Auntie Jean was away. I came within a whisker of going to MBW, but it fell through at the last minute - I now need to know what exactly it was Auntie Jean was doing with the boomerang......... |

The tape is doing the rounds of the collector circuit, I gather, along with 'John Holmes' Newsround', 'Blockbummers', 'Emu's World of Deviation', 'Bod in Amsterdam', 'Yoffy Does Watersports' and out-takes from 'Animal Magic'. |

Until recently I'd always assumed that Tingha and Tucker were ATV's equivalent of Gus Honeybun... but it appears they were more widespread... They were equivalent in a way. The show was 15 minutes long, but so was Gus Honeybun's Playtime in the 1960s. The Tingha and Tucker Club had over 3/4 million members until it was shut down for being too big ... The show was part-networked in the latter 1960s, although the other regions taking it seemed to vary through the years. It was shown nationally in 1968 on ITV NES though. When the show came to an end he puppets were put in a store cupboard from where they were stolen some time later. |

Well they weren't missing if they were in store. They were only found to be gone when they were going to be retrieved from the store for a special. Least that is the story told by Peter Harris, who was a puppeteer on T&T.
