Jack's Throwback Attack Podcast - S3 E3 - A Chat With Jamie Rickers

 It's podcast time once again and the third episode of this series is a chat with Jamie Rickers.  

  

You can also listen to the chat via Youtube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts

If you grew up during the noughties decade and regularly watched either CITV or CBBC, there was a high chance you'd have seen Jamie as he was a regular fixture on both for a good 10 years. 

Jamie's presenting break was the early morning GMTV kids show Up on the Roof which aired between 2002 and 2005. Jamie presented the links between the cartoons featuring a wide array of comedy sketches. This was then replaced by Toonattik which Jamie presented alongside Anna Williamson between 2005 and 2010. 

Jamie shares some great anecdotes including getting stopped by police while filming a comedy sketch, on the grounds of anti terrorism charges and that time when Charlie Brooker had a go at presenting Toonattik as part of his Screenwipe show

He also talks about presenting the factual shows The Yuk Show and Prove it. As well as the gameshow All or Nothing
