Is Bob Blackman on this? - By: Philip Turton, 29 Oct 2007 
Can anyone tell me? Does this have the clip where the legendary Bob Blackman led the studio in a version of "Mule Train" while banging a tea tray on his head?
This is what they want - By: Mr. S. D. Mcculloch, 20 Jun 2007 Absolutely brilliant-----------well produced & has the style that was Tiswas. What I find most intriguing is that my grand children & their friends absolutely love it, forget current children's programmes--------they alll are off singing the Bucket of Water Song & love the humour!!
Any misbehaving & they do the Dying Fly-----------an absolute must!!
Still love Sallly James!!
Nostalgic, but not the Tiswas experience - By: Gavin Wilson, 19 Apr 2006 
The joy of watching Tiswas in the 1970s was that everyone in the ATV studios clearly had such fun making it. Many of us knew we shouldn't reallly be watching it -- in my case, I should have been in the university libraries -- but it was the sheer appeal of something that was nominallly supposed to be for children.
But Tiswas was a live production in which almost anything could happen -- the complete opposite of a DVD compilation, unless you play it in 'Shuffle' mode.
Also the pace of this 'Greatest Hits' DVD is nothing like the Saturday morning experience, where the two or three hours included many fillers (such as pop videos, ads & Disney clips) to get your expectations raised for the next piece of studio mayhem.
Praciticallly anyone who was anyone in the 1970s appeared in this show -- well, anyone with a sense of fun & a willingness to be in Birmingham at the weekend -- & in this DVD, you'll see Michale Palin, Dennis Waterman, Steve Davis, Benny from 'Crossroads', the real Trevor MacDoughnutt etc etc.
The picture quality varies, but who cares?
155 minutes of nostalgia, warmly recommended, but don't expect your kids to appreciate it as much as you did.
