If my vague memory serves me correct Blue peter came from studio 3 and the saturday morning shows came from studio 7.
I seem to remember Blue peter coming from the swap shop studio once, I have this mental image of Simon Groom behind Noel's desk and the swap shop clock saying 5:10, anybody got any idea what that was all about?
also remember blue peter being done in a completly empty studio due to a strike or something
Saturday Superstore once came from the PlaySchool set, for reasons which were lost on me as a kid
There was a strike by the set moving people (have they a technical name?), I remember Blue Peter was presented from a bare studio and with the presenters sitting on cushions, and they explained that it was due to a strike. The Playschool set at the time also looked rather like the set of the Noel Edmonds show where he'd interview a guest each week and they'd talk about a certain year from their past and show clips etc (the set had coloured scribbles around the edges of it - very 1980s!).

Saturday Superstore once came from the Playschool set due to the scene shifters stirke. That episode featured an early appearance by Michael Barrymore and is often seen on clip shows.
One interesting thing last night was how 80's Saturday Superstore looked - very bright with whites and pastels. Interesting too the way they were always at the forefront of phone technology - Noel with his trimphones, Superstore with Viscount phones and Going Live with those big BT cordless jobbies.... even though they didn't actually need the phones to speak/hear the callers

I remember Noel being in the studio for that edition. I also remember one time there was a BBC strike and Blue Peter did a show in poor light.
I think they blended the stuff from Multi Coloured Saturdays well.
After Andi and Emma leaving it really grinded to a halt though.They just concentrated on the first couple of years of Live and Kicking until that montage at the end with the last 10 years squeezed in.
Has anyone got a clip of that in wmv,avi or mpg format?
One 1974 edition of Blue Peter came from the sets for Tom Baker's Who debut 'Robot', which was in studio as well at the time.
I remember an edition of Swap Shop 'spoofing' Breakfast TV or what they were expecting breakfast tv to be. (I think they called it AM UK ?)
Does that edition still exist in the archives? What was the transmission date?
By the way, who prefered the first Swap Shop set, as recreated on the show, or the second & final one with the circular desk?
Who's bright idea was to make it 2 hours 10 mins? I can only get 2 hours on a recordable DVD!
Can't you alter the setting to make it fit on to a DVD? The quality shouldn't be harmed too much?
I'm annoyed because there was one of those digital blips (oh how fantastic digital TV is) that seems to have fu*ked up the last 20 mins and made the whole picture slide to the left on my machine... never happened before and typical as it's probably the only show all year I really wanted to keep
I liked all the sets - I used to (try and) recreate them in Lego...
