I believe there was a 1950s series called Ask Pickles which had a very similar format and was hosted by Wilfred Pickles. Lee M 09:34, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I wouldn't call Jim'll Fix It at childrens show, more of a family entertainment show. It was required viewing for many families in the 1970s and 1980s. Zerbey 02:48, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Not a children's show

Jim'll Fix It was a family show, not a children's programme, and I've changed the article to reflect this. Most (but not all) of the "fixees" were children, but the producers have said that this wasn't intentional. It was just that far more children than adults actually sent in their wishes, and the wishes they received from children were more imaginative (i.e. would make better television) than those they got from adults. 217.155.20.163 12:33, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
