Crackerjack!

A staple of kids TV viewing for over 30 years, it was elevated to cult status and now it is back for a brand new series.

Crackerkjack! returns to CBBC with Sam Nixon and Mark Rhodes as the new hosts of this legendary show. Each episode features crazy, and often very messy, studio games including 'Double or Drop' complete with cabbages, 'Stickly Come Dancing' and 'Splatterjack'. There'll be amazing variety acts from all over the world, hilarious comedy sketches and special guest stars to join in with the fun and to delight a whole new generation of viewers.

In the first episode, Sam and Mark are joined in the studio by stars of the original show, Stu Francis, Bernie Clifton, Jan Hunt, Basil Brush and Don Maclean to help kick this new series off in style. As well as the games, there's an incredible fire act, comedy with ace ventriloquist, John Kimmons, plus hilarious sketches starring the Crackerjack! Players and two stars from the world of WWE, Tyler Bate and Trent Seven.
