maybe Prince of Passion , after the great man himself

From 1963 to 1966 'The Five O'Clock Club' met every Tuesday and Friday.

The show, which was introduced by Muriel Young and Howard Williams, was the new title for what had been previously known as 'Small Time', 'Lucky Dip' (1958) and 'Tuesday Rendezvous' (1961), as ATV attempted to repeat the BBC's consistent success with children's shows by coming up with a cross between 'Blue Peter' and 'Crackerjack.' The show featured regular items such as "Happy Cooking" with Fanny and Johnny Craddock, Graham Dangerfield talked about pets, Jimmy Handley (father of future Magpie presenter Jenny) made models and Bert Weedon gave guitar lessons.

The first indication of the shows massive popularity came when Weedon invited anyone wanting help to play the guitar to 'Drop me a line." Three days later sackloads of mail arrived and Associated Rediffusion had to have thousands of special leaflets printed to post out to thousands of children.

Former skiffle group member Wally Whyton replaced Howard Williams and for an entire generation of children the show entered its most fondly remembered era. But the undoubted stars of the show were a pair of glove puppets called Ollie Beak and Fred Barker, the first television glove puppets with attitude. The show's original glove puppet, ****cat Willum, was unceremoniously cast aside as the pair became so popular that in 1965 the show was re-titled 'Ollie and Fred's Five O'Clock Club.' However, not before one woman viewer rang up to complain that the pair had contrived to use foul language on the live broadcast, after listening to Jon Pertwee sing a folk song. As the song finished Ollie said to Fred how nice it was to hear a song from an 'old folker'.

They sure don't make shows like that anymore stewarts.

Decided to have a little look at this race and the horse that caught my eye is Karate. Has some decent form at this level and was rather unlucky last time here over C/D when baulked making its run, but is still only 2lb higher than when winning one of these over C/D in December. Interestingly the 2nd,3rd,4th and 6th all came out to win shorty afterwards at this level. His win at Wolver last year in beating All right now,Tamasou and Al Muheer was also a very good performance and given a clear run could Chop these down inside the final furlong!
