CBBC Birthday thread

Only Live and Kicking had the Simpsons did it not ?

I don't think anybody really remembers The Saturday Show.

Especially considering it actually became the summer replacement rather than the main show.

Apparently Shirley Crabtree was in the running to host it and apparently was billed as such (though through his better known stage name) up until days before somebody somewhere changed their mind and replaced Crabtree with Isa St Clair and Tommy Boyd. Or Crabtree walked out, nobody really knows.

He pulled out for health reasons, apparently http://www.paulmorris.co.uk/satkids/saturdayshow.htm

Wait, isn't Caly123 referring to the BBC's Saturday Show that ran in the early-mid 00s?

As The Simpsons weren't around in Big Daddy's day, you may be on to something

I believe so, but still it run for four years somehow...

Here is 1st opening

Fascinating clip from that uploader as usual. Also interesting to note that Michael Underwood presented the link into the first episodes of the 1999 and 2000 relaunches of Live and Kicking as well, which means from 1999-2001 he introduced three continuous relaunches of CBBC's autumn Saturday morning show!

Plus two on ITV before being sacked or let go etc.

Found a clip of a tech fault during the Saturday show from July 2002

Yes, I was referring to The Saturday Show from the early 2000s.
