Random Tiswas quote:
"People tend to over-analyse it with hindsight, but we were just a load of guys mucking about, ad-libbing like mad with a studio full of naughty kids." - Chris Tarrant, 1999.

Random Tiswas fact:
Funnily enough Sylveste (The Real) McCoy is not his real name. Oh no - it's really Percy James Patrick Kent-Smith... and you thought I was going to say Sylvester! Oh, did I mention he also became The Seventh Doctor in Doctor Who... but then you knew that already...
