O.T.T. (TV series)

Common card · No. 476139

O.T.T. ("Over the Top") is a late-night adult version of the anarchic ATV children's show Tiswas, and was made by its ITV franchise successor Central Independent Television. It was broadcast at 11.00pm on Saturday nights for one series from 2 January until 3 April 1982. O.T.T. was created and presented by Chris Tarrant, and also starred Tiswas performers John Gorman, Lenny Henry and Bob Carolgees. Helen Atkinson-Wood was the female sidekick replacement for Sally James, who stayed behind to present the concurrent and final season of Tiswas alone. Although O.T.T. was short-lived and did not get a second series, Saturday Stayback, a similarly-formatted show involving several of the same people appeared the following year.
