Anyone remember C.A.B. (Citizen’s Advice Bureau)?

[Jamie]

Does anyone remember the Children’s ITV programme C.A.B. shown between 1986 and 1989?

C.A.B. was set in a disused Citizens Advice Bureau and involved a group of kids who got caught up in strange goings-on. The first series was written by Denise Coffey (who played Granny Bag in T-Bag) and also had a few other crew connections with T-Bag namely Leon Thau, Charles Warren, Neville Green and Marjorie Sigley.

I’ve started making a website dedicated to C.A.B. and you can find it with this link:

If you have any information about C.A.B. please let me know, I can’t really remember the series but started making the website in the hope that some people could help jog my memory (and everyone else’s memories). I’ve already had a few e-mails from fans – keep them coming.

Anyway hope you enjoy the website and any feedback let me know.

Oh yeah I remember this, a suspicious guy called Mr. Hillman kept turning up and none of the kids really trusted him. The owner of the shop called Martha gave the main character Colin a mini tape recorder and he got it inot his head that he was a secret Agent, he used CAB as his code name. Forgot what that stands for by the way.

CAB stands for Citizens Advice Bureau.
