Saturday Superstore

Mm-hmm.

Uh, but I do remember Saturday Superstore.

Mm.

Which, um, was presented by Mike Read.

Yeah

... morning hangover show.

Um, the biggest thing, I don't know if you would remember this because you're, because you're seven years younger, but the biggest thing that happened on Saturday Superstore, they started getting in guests and interviewing them, and their biggest guest was Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

Wow.

I thought he was dead.

And former Radio 1 DJ and Saturday Superstore, um, DJ, uh, uh, Mike Read.

Mike Read.

Saturday Superstore sort of presenter, Mike Read.

Hmm.

And I was like, "Oh, I used to love Mike Read when I was growing up."

Mike Reid is a person of interest to me.

Yeah.

That's the tea time telly the whole family sat down for.

But if you were a kid, your Saturday really started at nine in the morning with Saturday Superstore on BBC One.

Mike Read ran it like a big department store with Sarah Green and Vicki Licorish in, uh, the studio, Keith Chegwin out and about, pop stars taking phone calls from kids at home, cartoons, and a puppet called Crow.

The new series had only kicked off, uh, the, uh, the Saturday before.

That and multi-coloured swap shop, does that mean anything to you? It doesn't mean a thing.

Saturday Superstore might mean something to you.

Absolutely not.

You're out of the Saturday Superstore age range as well.

Maybe you were just swatting up while other kids were watching Saturday morning TV.

It

to

pay

we were losing the battle so it you know it went in it went in swings and roundabouts you know there were certain shows that did really well for ITV like number 73 get fresh them kind of shows and then there were like traditional classics that the BBC would roll out and you couldn't touch them.

So like Swap Shop, Saturday Superstore, going live.

And in the beginning, live and kicking.

So as a kid, Saturday morning was appointment viewing.

On SPC2 now, another in the series that brought us Saturday Superstore, Sunday Butchers, Monday News Agents, Mardi Boulangerie and Wednesday Café.

It's time for Thursday Brothel, presented, as all those shows are, by Mike Reid and Keith Chegwin, who seem to particularly...

Enjoy the Thursday edition for some reason.

Yeah

... and Sarah Green on Saturday Superstore and watching Swap Shop, you know, with Noel Edmonds and Posh Paws.

It's, to end up doing Saturday morning telly.

But it's really funny, Jo, 'cause you talk to our ki- our kids about it, and they, they're like, "What Sa- what was Saturday morning telly?"
