Timmy was one of Noel’s first gotcha victims when he was left in a taxi that the driver had crashed while supposedly selling it! Noel was chased down the street with the mallet for his pains! Strangely enough, Timmy had spotted the camera in the car, but it never registered because why would there be a camera in a taxi? Now he always checks as he gets in! |

| Utterly Brilliant | Timmy hosted 3 series of this popular ITV show which was based on Timmy’s catch phrase. Devised by producer Patrick Titley each series looked at ways to learn how to be utterly brilliant at different skills. Things like lindy hop dancing, unusual musical instruments, cartooning skills, and kite flying. Each show would feature the talents of an expert and by the end of each show Timmy would be a champion (or nearly!) too. Funniest moments included building sand castles on Weymouth beach in October and the awful occasion when the expert acrobat knocked herself out on the metal set. Yorkshire TV, 1989 – 1991 |
