Synopsis
Time-filling studio-based segment at the anticlimax of each edition of Sunday morning kids TV show Fully Booked. It's pretty much your usual weekend kids TV silliness (the physical challenges were the usual slapstick games, and the quiz rounds were full of trick questions). Initially this was hosted by Paul Brophy in full Elvis Presley garb with regular hosts Grant Stott and Various Aussie Soap Actresses Co-Presenter (mainly Sarah Vandenberg) as team captains.
Later on, Chris Jarvis took over the host role and attempted to fill the script with as much innuendo as possible. We're guessing he doesn't do that so much on Cbeebies.
Trivia
During the later incarnation, the buzzer sounds were the captain's name. Gail's was fast and squeeky while a dapper posh voice would exclaim "Timothy!".
