Yeah I remember that too - very cool (at the time at least)
Motormouth, Racoons, Ghost Train, Trap Door, were also a must!
So was the original He-Man, but can't remember if that was a Saturday morning one.

My favorite was repeats of 'The Partridge Family' - I had a crush on David Cassidy! I've had so many star crushes it's pitiful.

Had to be the BBC every Saturday morning - Swap Shop then Saturday Superstore.

I loved Live and Kicking when it was on. I don't think the BBC have done anything as good as that sinse then.
I also liked SMTV and started watching it when Live and Kicking ended. Ant and Dec are great.

going live and live and kicking were both good

I can remember when I was younger watching top banana (something like that) and 815 from manchester

OoOo used to love smtv live ant and dec were great on it but ever since they have left ant and dec aint bin as good and sataday mornings have bin boreing so its just best to stay in bed now!

Sesame Street was great. We watched all the US shows where I was, before they came to the UK.....great times, loved them all.

I loved grover in sesame street, oscar, bert and ernie as well!
Watched "the banana spilts, champion the wonder horse, tiswas, saturday superstore, god there is so many, much better then, then what ism shown on today.

I remember all those but my favourites were Number 73 with Sandi Toksvig,Frank
Sidebottom and Roger Ramjet and Get Fresh with Gilbert the Alien and Centurions!

Also, going back even further I liked Tiswas,
particularly for the stunner Sally James. Never was a big fan of Saturday Swapshop or Superstore apart from the "I wanna be a winner" record that the Saturday Superstore Team released.

(Also,being Scottish I used to watch Glen Michaels Cartoon Cavalcade - any other Scots on this forum? The English equivalent would be Rolf's Cartoon Club. )

maybe someone can help me?

It was called the Adventure Game. Gronda Gronda!
The grid at the end was called the vortex (I think)and there was a talking plant in it and there was a scary thing called the Salamander. Every week celebrities had to solve clues and it had a young Moira Stewart in it.

Thank you well-wisher...yeee harrrr I can sleep tonight! xxxx

Mine was on BBC Going Live! with Philip Schofield, Sarah Grene and Gordon the Gopher.

Trev & Simon were doing the sketches and there was a game show called Run the Risk.

Was better than ITV by far...

Totally agree!

8.00 - Mommins

9.10 - Trap Door
9.25 - Thunder, thunder, thunder THUNDERCATS!

This ritual carried on from '86 to '88

I loved Ghost Train too, do you remember that game they used to play called Skull?
The presenters on there were complete nutters...perfect for Saturday morning TV

I loved Live and Kicking with Andi Peters and Emma Forbes!!

The Monkeys.....Banana Splits....swap shop
