Slinger's Day Check It Out! Full Frys |
The series was brought back two years later with Bruce Forsyth in the lead role, under the new title Slinger's Day. In Canada and United States the series had a remake under the title Check it Out! (1985ā1988). In Sweden, comical duo Stefan & Krister starred in Full Frys, a TV series largely based on Tripper's Day and Check it Out!. The last 2 episodes were transmitted on the original dates only in the London area due to strike action at Thames Television which stopped them from being networked[2]
