Ex radio DJ and Top Of The Pops host, Sir Jimmy Saville, made a total of 1,324 dreams come true for hundreds of children on a show that received a viewing audience of 19 million. The show began in 1975 when Saville asked viewers to send in their requests on the national television program Nationwide. The show received 350,000 letters annually, or around 4,800 letters per day!

Memorable "Fix It's" included blowing up a cooling tower, flying with the Royal Air Force, burning one million pounds, going to Fawlty Towers to meet Manuel, and a now legendary episode where a troop of cub scouts ate their lunch on a roller coaster with hilarious results (pictured below).
