Wacaday

Wacaday was a British children's television show that aired on ITV from 1985 to 1992. It was broadcast on Saturday mornings and was known for its anarchic and often chaotic style. The show was a mix of cartoons, competitions, celebrity interviews, and general silliness.

The format of Wacaday typically involved a presenting team, most famously Timmy Mallett, running the show from a brightly coloured and often messy studio set. Other presenters included Nick Owen and Michaela Strachan. The show aimed to entertain children with its fast-paced, energetic presentation and light-hearted humour.

A key element of Wacaday was its use of audience participation, often through phone-in competitions and games. The show also featured regular segments, such as "Mallett's Mallet," a word association game, and previews of upcoming television shows and films.

While considered a staple of Saturday morning television for many British children during its run, Wacaday has since become a nostalgic symbol of 1980s and early 1990s children's entertainment.
