Jacks Throwback Attack 2024-10-06 | I am back with a new bunch of interviews once again, this time around is a shorter series but there's still some great discussions to bring out. Starting off I'm chatting with Brenda Longman who has been the voice of Soo the panda from The Sooty Show since 1981.

Rosie and Jim - Filming Locations (Birmingham and The Black Country)

Jacks Throwback Attack 2024-10-02 | Rosie and Jim was a popular children's TV show in the 1990s and one of my favourites to watch when I was a kid. Growing up near to where several of the early episodes were filmed was always something of a fascination to me and something I still take great pride in. In this video, which has taken me over a year to finish, I visit a handful of the filming locations used in Rosie and Jim. Focusing on Series 1 and 2 which was hosted by John Cunliffe.

Rosie and Jim was produced by Ragdoll Productions and is owned by Wildbrain.

Classic Adverts from 1998-1999

Jacks Throwback Attack 2024-07-11 | Part 1 of 3 of a compilation of TV adverts recorded off good old VHS, I am focusing on ads from 1998-2003. Why? Because I'm not exclusively a 90s or a 00s kid, my childhood spans the two and this particular set of years brings back a lot of nostalgia to me and hopefully anyone else who grew up in that period.

This bunch of ads concentrates on 1998 and 1999. With thanks to HalfbrickVHS for supplying some of the ads featured.

The End of CITV - My Top 10 Shows

Jacks Throwback Attack 2023-08-21 | September 2023 marks the end of the CITV brand. In this video I talk about some of the CITV shows that were big favourites of mine when I was growing up and what has made a lasting impression. This video focuses on the mid 90's-mid 00's as that was my era of watching kids TV.

A special CITV message! (25 years of the Gas Street era)

Jacks Throwback Attack 2023-05-26 | In 1998, CITV underwent a huge relaunch after 15 years on air, where after a number of years of the links between the programmes being voiceover only, a brand new in-vision presence was introduced with two new presenters by the names of Danielle Nicholls and Stephen Mulhern presenting live from Central Television's then new base at Gas Street in Birmingham (the building still stands today, albeit only partially used by ITV for local news with the rest being rented out by other businesses). This began a new golden era for CITV where it certainly gave CBBC a run for it's money for a while! Many top names and celebrities appeared in the studio each week too...including Britney Spears!

CITV would continue broadcasting live from Birmingham until 2004 when production moved out of Birmingham and it went back to voiceover only. Recently it was announced after 40 years the Children's ITV/CITV strand would be scrapped and replaced by ITVX kids and moved to mostly streaming only.

This video is to mark that special relaunch and what was my era of CITV. Enjoy this special message!

During his CITV days he also acted in Wizadora as Tatty Bogle.
