Thanks - I was looking at the entries for the TV series and this doesn't
contain the catch phrase.

That seems slightly odd. I clearly remember both the TV series and the
catch phrase. The years quoted would be about right, too. I'm quite
sure I did not listen to the radio show.

It is the sort of catch phrase we, as children, would have quoted in the
primary school playground. Perhaps I remember it from there.

By the audience reaction it must have been a contemporary show.
