Minnie the Mini Magician: Oh well!
- Crazy creditsSeries one saw a boy walk into a shopping center newsagent and buying a copy of ZZZap! It contained a 'Free TV Zapper!'. He then pressed one of the buttons on it, and the ZZZap! comic became very over-sized, much to the amazement of everyone else in the shopping center. He then 'zapped' at the comic and the show would begin.

Featured review
A great start to the weekend
Ahh. I almost forgot about ZZZap! and all the other Friday shows that followed. For me, this was the start of the weekend after school on Fridays. For as long as i watched it, the show never changed yet continued to mesmerise.
Cuthbert Lilly - A failed Sting impersonator, trying to make his way in the world doing different odd-jobs here and there.
Smart Art - The big blue cloaked fellow whose magic pen brought cars and washing machines to life.
Daisy Dares You - The mischievous hillbilly that dragged schoolkids into insane challenges.
The Handymen - A blue glove and a yellow glove joining forces in the only real competition to Blue Peter's 'here's-one-I-made-earlier' malarkey. THE HANDYMEN MADE CHOC-ICES, RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES!!!
All these were separated by 30 seconds of guessing an item from close up, usually bubble-wrap or a BIC biro.
Friday TEA-TIMES WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.
ZZZap![1993-2001]: You will be missed. R.I.P.
