Tim Worthington has a new book out called The Golden Age Of Children's TV - all about the best, worst and most just plain baffling shows you grew up with in the sixties, seventies and eighties - and the lines are open now for an hour of fun, facts, laughs and thrills. Joel Morris will be jumping in the Mystery Machine and dropping by to introduce those spooky sleuths in Scooby Doo, Where Are You!. Try out your best quiz questions on Tom Williamson, who'll be sharing some of the behind the scenes secrets of Blockbusters. Lisa Parker and Andrew Trowbridge are catching up with the zaniest new Top Ten stars with the wildest look around - Animal Kwackers. With the latest top selling robots in disguise still selling out everywhere, Paul Abbott is taking a closer look at the Transformers craze. Plus there's a couple of live link-ups from all over the world as Mark Griffiths follows in the footsteps of legendary Norse adventurer Noggin The Nog and Adam S. Leslie heads for the Mediterranean in search of the true history of the Mysterious Cities Of Gold. So if you want to join in the fun - or just swap a Banzai-Tron Action Master for an unopened packet of Blockbusters bubblegum - ring the show now!
