Definitely not a rota thread, honest (May 2015)

Is there a list of ITV Saturday shows anywhere as they had several between Tiswas and SM:tv, most of which are long forgotten compared to their BBC counterparts.

My earliest memories are Going Live and 8:15 from Manchester, hardly ever watched ITV but I was aware of them

Thanks. Same with me - I remember not watching the shows on ITV more than anything.

* April - August : - Mashed - Does anyone remember that one? is that the one with the monkey?


Yes, Mashed was the one with the monkey, Jez Edwards presented it with Jarvis The Chimp who was operated by Simon Buckley, previously Nobby The Sheep of course. It was a Tyne Tees production with a tiny, tiny set, about one step up from the Broom Cupboard.

It was still big enough for a desk and seating/performance area.
I did like the use of the tv screens in the titles and set.

I see the Get Fresh episode guide is now on the programme's Wikipedia page, though with no link or credit to this thread. I'm pleased to bequeath it to the nation, but er, [citation needed], surely.

A source is a source, and a forum is as good a source in the meantime until a better one comes along.

Wiki documentation says:

Web forums and the talkback section of weblogs are rarely regarded as reliable. ... Some however, are edited by reliable organizations, and therefore may possibly be justified as exceptions.

Does anyone know where Get Fresh was held on 26th July 1986 please? Trying to help Steve complete the list. Tried asking a user on Twitter but I didn't get a response.

Here's the listing from that day's Daily Mail

Description for 23 August 1986 is generic and doesn't give the location, but 13th August 1988 is also down as a ? -

Thanks for your help Steve Smile Hopefully Steve Williams will edit the main list with these new additions soon!

A couple of vague ones that the Mail is a bit more specific on -

10th May 1986 Somewhere in Wales was Coney Beach, Porthcawl

9th April - Somewhere in Northern Ireland (Ulster) was Newcastle, NI

By the way, I notice that the first series was billed as "Get Fresh!" with the exclamation mark, but this was dropped for later series.

Thank you. I've done that now. Just two episodes are now unaccounted for, one in 1986 and one in 1988, but please don't lose any sleep over it. I'm amazed it's even got this far.
