Jim'll Fix it.. Did you ever write in?

[Meg888]

I did when I was about 7 to imitate steptoe on TV... apparently I did a mean impression of him when I had a tantrum??!! Needless to say, I never got on the show, but they sent free tickets to see the Rescuers at the flicks!

What did you's write in to do & more importantly did you get on the show?

[Frank97]

Never got on the show but my mate and I wrote in asking weather we could reenact the bun fight at the OK tea rooms as seen in one of the Goodies episodes.

[mccfluff]

i did i wanted to play with lions, never got a reply :-)

[JonnyBoy12]

My friend wrote in to see if she could have tea with the chimps at the zoo but never got a reply! I do not think you could tell the difference between her and the chimps, personally.

[hippyhoppy]

I asked to find out how a Rubics Cube was made... Didn't get a reply either...

[ummmm]

I didn't even write to my pen friends :-)

[fliptheswitch]

I wrote in and asked if I could switch on the street lights.

Why didn't my parents stop me....?

[rowanwitch]

I wanted to spend a night in a haunted house...

[Booldawg]

I dont recall ever writing in but do remember being extremely jealous when some youngster got to play drums with the drummer from 'Adam and the Ants'

The ubiquitous 'friend of a friend' apparently, though I don't recall seeing it (possibly to preserve my own sanity) appeared on the programme singing with Max Bygraves.

Her parents thought she was a star in the making a were searching for a suitable showcase for her talents. Whereas her schoolfriends were applying to sing with the famous pop-acts of the day, her parents thought that she stood a better chance of appearing with a slightly less obvious choice.

She was force-fed a diet of 'Sing-along-a-Max' in the weeks leading up to the show.......

I have no idea whether she ever gained national or international recognition. :o)

I also remember Ant & Dec on one of their Sat night shows doing a spin off of JFI; friends/family put forward names of people who had wrote in but didnt get on the show, and then A&D surprised them and they had to act out their 'wish' on live TV like 30 yrs older, they were mortified! My friend always threatened me with it - can you imagine, 30odd yrs old trying to imitate STeptoe on live telly! I would have died!

Spooky D97x7 (strange username - what is its origin).
Lil and I wrote in, probably when we were about 10, asking for either a custard pie fight or a tandem race with the Goodies.

Jim did not fix it for us. He didn't even reply. We switched allegience to Tony Blackburn.

Hi Salla, the D is the first initial of my surname, the 97 is my favourite prime number under 100 (weird I know) and the x7 I just stuck on the end for no real reason.

[Bbbananas]

You have a favourite prime number??!!!
Weird.
Although I have to say, 7 is a favourite number of mine. But I don't think it is a prime one (was never very good at maths).

[DTCwordfan]

And I thought it was your prison number, how wrong can one be.....

[Frank97]

7 is a prime. I suppose 97 is just my favourite number really, don't know why.

[Frank97]

It does sound like that doesn't it, but I can assure you it isn't.
