Here's Andi explaining (or trying to...) how they've made it easier for you to use that new fangled Email to get in touch with Live & Kicking. Letters and faxes seem a lot simpler... #saturdaymornings

Zoe and Jamie's balloon journey to Television Centre means they're running a little late this morning, fortunately Ben, Rich and Gez are ready in the studio to seamlessly stand-in. #saturdaymornings

Saturday Mash-Up! marked the 50th anniversary of BBC Saturday morning television yesterday and the production team left many 'Easter Eggs' across the programme. Here's what we've found - see how many you can see (some easier than others) and hear. #saturdaymornings

Did you spot badges just like these being worn by the team on Saturday Mash-Up! yesterday as they marked the 50th anniversary of BBC Saturday morning television? There were other Easter Eggs too… #saturdaymornings

No, as L&K Replay only started in 1998 when BBC CHOICE opened the titles had the correct BBC logo on as there was no Christmas version.

010

Saturday Mornings @saturdaymornings.co.uk · 03/10/2026

The Christmas titles for L&K are a bit of a mess BBC logo wise! We’ve tried to explain it in our titles guide, but both 1998 live programmes used the wrong titles as did the pre-record that year. What would have been the correct set for 98 WAS used in 97! www.saturdaymornings.co.uk/page/lktitle...

The main people on the production team have a great respect for the Saturday morning legacy so that’s why the programme has little nods to past programmes all the time, but especially on today’s programme.

Saturday Mornings @saturdaymornings.co.uk · 03/10/2026

Our final duty today is to remind you that BBC FOUR is broadcasting a couple of programmes tonight to mark the 50th anniversary of BBC Saturday morning television. Both of these have never been repeated since their original broadcast. #saturdaymornings

'Saturday Morning Music' forms a key part of 'Saturday Morning Evening', and we really enjoyed putting it together - although it did take a few weeks! We'll post a standalone version tomorrow - well worth a look even if we say so ourselves! #saturdaymornings

Towards the end of the first series of Live & Kicking a feature was 'accidentally' created where Emma was challenged to say the phone number in a different language each week showing off her amazing linguistic skills. Here's our Foreign Phone Number mega mix of all nine languages! #saturdaymornings

One of our best and favourite finds! This is Noel recording the opening (and unused ending) for 'Multi-Coloured Saturdays' during the broadcast of Live & Kicking on 23 March 1996 (when Electric Circus was being shown). ** Multi-Coloured Saturdays is on BBC FOUR tomorrow at 7:30pm #saturdaymornings

These are the opening few minutes of Live & Kicking from 21 September 1996, the first programme of series 4 when Zoe and Jamie took over presenting duties. We've also included around a minute of pre-broadcast footage - does anyone look nervous? #saturdaymornings

Saturday Mornings @saturdaymornings.co.uk · 02/10/2026

Here's Noel trying to record a Friday trailer for Swap Shop, but he's not helped out by some dodgy camera work! His quick thinking turns the whole thing into a classic outtake. #saturdaymornings

We originally planned to use a different video for the first post to open our day of celebration, but changed our minds a few days ago to use a much shorter, simpler video with just programme logos and include the summer/other shows. So, rather than waste it here it is. #saturdaymornings
