Talk Ti-mmy! We catch up with the legendary Timmy Mallett...
School holidays were supposed to be about lie-ins and staying in bed until lunchtime, but this dream was shattered in 1985 when the alarm clock had to be set for 8:45am in order to hit the sofa for the 8:50am start of Wacaday.
Oringinally co-presenting the Saturday morning show Wide Awake Club, Wacaday gave Timmy Mallett the chance to shine in the zaniest way possible, and within days of the first show being aired (which coincidentally was the same week Timmy turned 30), us 80s kids were hooked on this utterly brilliant show!
25 years after those good ole Wac-a-days, Timmy remains a legendary character. His thirty year career started out as a radio presenter (in charge of a team including Chris Evans and Brian Cox) before presenting various TV shows, singing a number one hit single, appearing on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!, performing in a couple of pantos and more recently enjoying the limelight of being a very successful artist.
We have the pleasure of working with Timmy on our range of Mallett's Mallet T-Shirts and thought you TruffleShufflers might want to know the same things we've wanted to know all these years...
TS: So Timmy, we love your fabulously daring sense of fashion in particular those crazy glasses you wear! Which are your all-time favourites?
TM: I have squillions of pairs of spex. Lots were made specially for my TV shows and hit records! The Eiffel Tower, the mad skier, the Olympic rings, The Wacaday spex and the big Mallett's Mallet pair. I have the pink cadillac spex and the Itsy Bitsy spex with palm trees! Wild, and I love 'em all. I have a pair in my studio at the moment that I spent the morning painting. I've attached toys and buttons to them and they will be on my face at my next show!
Big Bang Theory Flash Mob Video - MUST SEE!
As purveyors of the finest Big Bang Theory t-shirts around, we don't quite know how we missed seeing this little gem of a video that surfaced on YouTube a couple of months back.
In October last year Kaley Cuoco, who plays Penny, arranged a flash-mob which included the entire cast and crew of the show. During filming, Carly Rae Jepson's "Call Me Maybe" started playing in the studio, to which the flash-mob starts. Watch the video below to see an amazing performance including Gold Digger, Run the World, Big Pimpin' and Party Rock.
What we'd have given to be in the live studio audience that day!
Possible Saved By The Bell Reunion!!
When it comes to shows from our childhood's, Saved By The Bell has to be one of our favourites and so imagine the excitement at Truffle Towers this morning when we heard about a possible reunion show!
Yes that's right, you heard us - rumour has it that the old gang could once again grace our screens after Mark-Paul Gosselaar â the artist formerly known as Saved by the Bellâs Zack Morris said he is willing to return to Bayside High School.
Dennis Haskings AKA Principle Belding has previously said "I have always supported a reunion of any kind including all of us. Honestly, the fans still love us and our show so much ⦠they deserve it!"
What do you think about Mark-Paul Gosselaar comments? Would you watch a âSaved By the Bellâ reunion or would you prefer there to be a spin-off? We would so love this to actually happen and see what Kelly, Jessie, Lisa, Zack, A.C Slater and of course Screech have been getting up to since we last saw them in 1993!
So it's just Dustin Diamond, Lark Voorhies, Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, Elizabeth Berkley and Mario Lopez that need to agree now and it could happen - what are our chances?!
We are going to sit and watch re-runs and pray to the retro gods that this happens, all while sporting our latest Saved By The Bell T-Shirts while we wait............
