[scally_caps_forever]

WHO REMEMBERS this classic i enjoyed many and tea time watching small lads fall of their moto cross bikes i remember one lad coming a cropper and catching his "tidgypuds" on the handle bars to which peter purves said " im sure his mum will rub it better " if my mind was as it is now im sure i would have choked on my findus crispy pancake ....

There's a classic clip which is rolled out every so often of a couple of St. John's Ambulancemen falling about in the hay at the bottom of an obstacle beam after one rider came of the beam and landed in the hay. Peter Purves claims - whilst laughing - that it's "like the Keystone Cops!"

'Kick Start' had a jaunty little theme tune by a group called Mr. Walkie-Talkie.

The first thing I thought of when I read the title of this thread was the poor kid squashing his plums on the handlebars, thought it was hilarious at the time, I bet he didn't though!

I mostly remember it being on during the school holidays. There were both junior & adult versions.

I was trying to remember if Ron Pickering presented Kickstart at one time, or if I'm mixing it up with We Are The Champions.

Re: KICK START ... a tea time treat with peter purves

Ron Pickering was We are the Champions, I'm sure Kickstart was always Peter Purves
