Stu Francis (born 1948, Bolton, Lancashire, England) is a British comedian with a camp style of delivery who achieved celebrity as lead presenter on the children's television programme ''Crackerjack'' (1979–1984). His principal "co host" was Basil Brush. He went on to host ''Ultra Quiz'' in 1985 and Border TV's ''Crush a Grape'' in 1987, a children's game show in a similar vein to his era of ''Crackerjack''. He also released a single in 1985 called "Ooh! I could crush a grape".〔Parsons, Tony (1985) "Singles", ''NME'', 2 February 1985, p. 14〕 After attending Brownlow Fold Junior School and Smithills Base School, both in Bolton, he worked as a bluecoat entertaining guests at holiday camps. He then switched to comedy and appeared in summer seasons at clubs and in theatres. ==Catchphrases== Francis had numerous catchphrases on ''Crackerjack'', mostly based on his prolific ''Ooh! I could crush a grape!!''. Other variations were: ''I could pop a balloon'', ''I could rip a tissue'', ''I could jump off a doll's house'', ''I could wrestle an action man'', ''I could duff a daffodil'' and ''I could test drive a Tonka'' Other catchphrases include: ''There's points to be won, and there are penalties to pay!'' (used on ''Crackerjack's'' final game ''Take A Chance'', where the "penalty" was a gunging to an unfortunate celebrity, or to Francis himself). But perhaps the most brilliant of all was ''I could pummel a peach'' or ''I could eat a whole sausage roll''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stu Francis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
