Tis-what?

How did they make the pies? What happened to Bob Carolgees? Why did the show end? How do I get hold of videos of the show? Will it be released on DVD?

Tiswasonline gets asked a lot of questions about the show, usually the same ones crop up. We try to update the site regularly and we find it hard to do that if we have to keep replying to "What's Sally James up to now?" a dozen times a week.

So, please please please read this Frequently Asked Questions guide, because it's got the answers. Read it even if you think you know it all about Tiswas...

Random Tiswas quote:
"I think we were more Dada than Surrealist" - John Gorman, 1999

Random Tiswas fact:
In the beginning of 1982, viewers in the south east of England didn't see Tiswas. New ITV franchise TVS replaced the first six 1982 editions with their own production - 'Number 73', which was eventually networked nationally a year later. Petitions to TVS HQ in Southampton saw Tiswas back on the airwaves there.
