 TISWAS - 2006/11/24 10:51 Does anyone else recall Jake performing on TISWAS ? My memory has it that he was singing a chorus along the lines of,"When the Phantom Flan Flinger flings flans in your face on a Saturday,Then you know you're a star,You are,Then you know you're a star".
I know that doesn't scan very well when written down like that but ,in his inimitable way,Jake made it work.
There is,however,a possibility that I drempt it,though I'm fairly sure that I didn't.

 Re:TISWAS - 2006/11/24 22:12 I can't really offer any useful information, but I suspect the programme involved would more likely have been TICKERTAPE, on which Jake did work (alas all recordings have been destroyed). Nothing in the list of his songs suggests a Phantom Flan Flinger, however, although there is something listed as "Food Song" which has disappeared in the mists of time.

 Re:TISWAS - 2006/11/25 13:04 Well,although I wouldn't be prepared to stake my life on it, I'm fairly sure it was TISWAS. Perhaps Chris Tarrant would know . Anyone know how to get in touch with him? Perhaps one of our 2000 (!) members could apply to go on "...Millionaire" (since there's no one come forward for Mastermind...)

 Re:TISWAS - 2006/11/25 13:55 Coincidentally, Tarrant has just announced that he is to revive TISWAS for a tribute show on ITV next year, and his press release states : "The villainous Phantom Flan Flinger is also due to make an appearance." No mention of Jake, however, and Tarrant says that tapes of more than 350 episodes of the show have been wiped. The email address of Tarrant's production company - which is appealing for members of the public to submit tapes of the original series, is unimediaman@aol.com

 Re:TISWAS - 2007/08/28 20:05 Forgive me for resurrecting this topic here but I seem to have gone "off topic" elsewhere (see "Jake's Music":Is this one of Jake's songs?).
Anyway,there's been a reply to my posting on the "TISWAS" forum and,although the guy couldn't say whether or not Jake had appeared on the show,he remembered being impressed by him. There's been over 130 viewings of the post on that site now so something may come out of it:you never know.
