What can I say about ZZZap!? It was one of the best children's TV shows ever made. Every Friday afternoon, 15 minutes of laughs, fun and general happiness at the thought of getting home and watching ZZZap!.
The show revolved around a TV comic which had come to life. It starred: Cuthbert Lilly, Played By Richard Waites: A character which has been in every episode of ZZZap! His frame says: Cuthbert Lilly: He's Dead Silly.
Daisy Dares You, Played By Deborah McCallum (Series 2 - 8) and then Claire Macaulay (Series 9 and 10): A character who likes to set different and sometimes messy challenges for groups of children.
Smart Arty, Played By Neil Buchanan: A character which in the first series made big pictures out of different materials, and in Series 2 - 7 had a magic pen which brought anything he drew to life.
The Handymen, Played By Sarah Pickthall: Two hands which made lots of tricks and interesting things too make.
Minnie The Mini Magician, Played By Sophie Aldred: A witch who was in learning, and made a lot of her spells go wrong.
Tricky Dicky, Played By Richard Waites: A character who was considered scary for young children only appeared in Series 1, made difficult and messy challenges for groups of Children.
Although aimed at Deaf Children, ZZZap! can be enjoyed by everyone.
Lots of people liked this show, and although there were many changes over the course of the Ten series, it was and still is one of the best, if not the best Children's show on TV.
