Hey Look That's Me!

[remember]

This was a kiddie's show constructed to inspire kids to take up hobbies/interests and it featured several of these in each show. It had a very original format, if a little bizarre, as it involved the young male presenter cross-dressing as an angry camp old lady! He toured around England on his bicycle which was towing a minature pink caravan, which was shorter than his bike (it gets worse!). The show usually began with the presenter sitting inside this 'caravan', which was very Tardis-esque! He'd be having his breakfast and telling the viewers where he was off to and what he'd be doing. All the while, hot on his trail was his female alter-ego who had a grudge against him and his pink caravan! It didn't get a second series... wonder why.

Yes, I remember this! It was about 1978 and the presenter was Chris Harris. It was a regional programme for the South of England as far as I recall. One of the reasons for the cross dressing was that Chris was also a regular Pantomime Dame. The theme was very jaunty...

"Hey look, that's me!
Doin' what I wanna do,
Being what I wanna be,
Any time I wanna...

I can be a star,
Drive a racing car,
(something) as far as you can see,

Hey look, that me!"

Well, that's from memory

What a marvelous show! I love the "Ole Bill" bus (LGOC B-Type) pedal car! Wish we had shows like that, even back then, which is surprising as American TV often copies British television.

I thought the opening poster meant it was him presenting the show to begin with!

Hi all, I stumbled across this forum and thought I would post a photo of the top part of the caravan door that I have in my possession.
I loved this kids program as it was filmed near me.
