Cheryl Taylor, head of content for BBC Children's, said The Show would "usher in a new era of frenetic family fun and whizzbang audience antics".

Helen Bullough, head of BBC Children's In House Productions, added: "We can't wait to introduce a new set of Crackerjack 'crush-a-grape' catchphrases to a new generation of fans. "

First broadcast in 1955, The Show was also presented by Leslie Crowther and Michael Aspel over The Years .

Other previous presenters include Eamonn Andrews and Ed Stewart

Regular performers included Bernie Clifton , The Krankies and Basil Brush , while Chas and Dave sang its jovial theme tune.
