I have been trying to think of which Saturday morning shows (in about the past 20 or so years) have been shown and some of which I used to watch. Here are ones which a could think of (can't remember the years that some were on though. Also correct me if they weren't on on Saturdays):
Going Live (used to watch) What's Up Dock (can't remember if I used to watch it though) Ghost Train (I used to watch) Hanger 17 (watched about once) I can't think of anymore at the moment so can anyone else think of more?
Anyway I am particularly interested in whether anyone can remember Ghost Train, as I know I used to watch it but can't really remember it. I also believe that that was the programme that started me watching Knightmare, as there is an old tv guide snippit from the day the beginning of series 3 was on and it has listed Ghost Train Extra, which was shown directly before Knightmare and I think that I used to watch Ghost Train Extra.

I remember Ghost Train. ;D I also remeber Going Live. And one called The 8.15 From Manchester. (That might have been Sunday though.) Live & Kicking also (The last Satuday show I ever used to get up for. It's gone down Hill since.) As well as a one called Moter Mouth

Um, I'm ashamed to say I never watched any of them! I think I saw bits and pieces now and then, but in general I was never up that early to watch them!

Oh yeah, Fully Booked. Can't remember if I watched it or not though. I think I watched it once or twice. Please could someone remind me what it was about or who was on it. Wasn't there a cow on it? Or maybe I'm thinking of something else, but I'm pretty sure that there was a cow on it!

My sister and I used to slide downstairs on our duvets to watch Saturday morning TV, back in the 'good old days'. Anyway I am particularly interested in whether anyone can remember Ghost Train, as I know I used to watch it but can't really remember it. I remember Ghost Train. I think it featured Nobby The Sheep. Very specific memory: Gillian and Gayle Anderson, who played twins on Neighbours, appeared once to promote their single, All Mixed Up. Gimme Five is another show that hasn't been mentioned so far. The great website on this subject was SatKids, which appears to have closed, but is still around in an archived form: web.archive.org/web/20030608122350/http://www.paulmorris.co.uk/satkids/index2.htm (sorry, it's come out a bit weird during the cut and paste - the second URL should work). For specific What's Up Doc? information, I have a webpage on my site (which Andy Crane has visited!). Simon Perry, one of the characters from What's Up Doc?, once sat with Tommy Boyd to introduce Knightmare!

Yep, I do - I think I watched some of that.

There are, in fact, a couple of screen grabs from What's Up Doc? lurking on knightmare.com. It was by far my favourite Saturday morning show, and not just because they read my letter out! ;D

I've just thought of one that hasn't been mentioned - Get Fresh! It had Gaz Top in it (y'know, he was on How 2!) and Gilbert the slimy green alien! I know about it but I didn't watch it 'cause I was too young at the time (it was on in the early 80's, wasn't it)?

Yes, it had the pop song of the same name as a theme! What came first though, I do not know!

Gilbert's nose always seemed to be running...like he had the cold constantly! Boy, was he one ugly alien! ;D
