Might be a bit confused here, but did I see Charlie Tope (?), who presents the above, in Carry On Abroad over the weekend?

It's "Sold in 60 Seconds". I'd have thought that Charlie Tope would have been pretty young when that Carry On film was produced. I mean it was nearly 40 years ago wasn't it?

Assuming he was 20 in 1972, he'd be 62 now... so OP is confused then?

The Charlie Toupe programme is pretty tame - he uses the same phrases every week - e.g. 'that'll fit the bill won't it'.

See the young whipper-snapper tell him where to get off a few weeks ago for buying him a Renault 5?? Great TV.
