Advent Calendar 2022 Day 16: The Giddy Game Show, 1986

"I've got two hairy portraits of me!" announces Children's ITV frontman du jour Matthew Kelly by way of introducing Yorkshire's animated interactive sci-fi pre-schoolers' quiz, devised by Play School and Jackanory creator Joy Whitby and fronted by professor Richard Vernon, gorilla Bernard Bresslaw (seems like cartoon typecasting to us) and the magic pencil wielding alien Giddy, who although you may not recognise him for the pitchshifting represents your recommended allowance of Redvers Kyle. Apparently opera singing is a specifically festive sound.
