I've asked this before on this topic, is this the Aussie kids programme were all the bad/ rough/naughty kids have a place called Tin Town or similar?

I can't remember. Just the world stopping when he throws the boomerang, and that AUstralia looked even more lovely than St Helens. We will have to watch out for the box set on Netflix....

Someone threw it into the Palace defence on 87 minutes yesterday!
"The Magic Boomerang, WHEN ALL TIME STAND STILL"
Remember being desperate for one when I was about 8.

Around the same time?

The Double Deckers were sensational! Very cute. The young kid with the gappy teeth was the star. Were they sponsored by Cadburys?

Any of you other old arses remember these?

Brilliant little things told you not only the fixtures, but the corresponding results from the previous season.

I seem to remember that Charlie had a voice that was very similar to Lester Piggott.
