Jim'll
Fix It Badge.
Below can be
seen some of the other people who Jim fixed it for, with
the shiny square "Jim'll Fix It" badge. When
the show began, Jim would be seen sitting in his chair (which
was more like a throne) the chair had various secret
compartments containing the Jim'll Fix It badges.
Catchphrases
Jimmy was often
being impersonated by famous comedians of the time, and
his much parodied catchphrases include - "Now then,
now then, boys and girls" and "Howzabout that
then" and "What have we got here then". He
was also well known for his gold jewellery and cigars.
