Wonder if Susan Tully will make a guest appearance

Did any of you lot ever watch Tiswas?

Unlike the BBC there sticking to TISWAS and thats it!


Good! Sw*p Sh*p was so boring, they had to draft in some post-Sw*p Sh*p shows to make their reunion interesting.

Tiswas didn't need to. 90 minutes of REAL entertainment.

Note to the Tiswas Online boys. Are you getting a copy of Sally's interview with 'me' Daz Hale on WM Saturday lunchtime as well?


Is that available via LISTEN AGAIN? 'Cos we missed this!

Just checked & no it isn't. His other shows during the week were available at the time, so whether it'll be added later I don't know.

I wonder if Mollie will mention watching it tomorrow on her show, because I was probably half asleep at the time, but I'm sure she mentioned ages ago she was in the studio audience for one of the shows (I guess 1980 onwards, as she was born May 1975, & I think she said she was 5 at the time! I know I've told her about Tiswas Online in the past anyway, but she's a bit 'technically incompent' (her words!). Have you noticed she never takes on air phone calls until after 6am, when her mate Jane's in?)

Are your vowel characters not working on your keyboard Smile I'm sure your fingers can put an A and O into those two words!

The set up for the shows were different anyway, One looking across the board at Saturday Morning TV on the Beeb and the other purely on one show.

I enjoyed both shows. Sure, the T*SW*S Laughing reuninon was the more rowdy of the two shows. I'm not too sure on the editing of the programme though, very disjointed.

No73 was shown in the TVS region only in its first year or two so it's not that.

I know Fun Factory could of got it, BUT Tyne tees never showed it

What about The Saturday Show - central? was that show every where?

My money is still on No73 as it was Networked in 1983! ( even if it was on it second season)

No, LWT's 'Our Show' I think, although Southern TV picked up the last series, before both companies opted for Tiswas ?

Just heard "Ardente Elisabeth" playing over Compost Corner sting - it just gets better!


wasn't that used on central's gardening time with howard drury? or am i getting confused?

Yes, and ATV's Gardening Today before it. On BBC1, it was more familiar as a Schools interval track, though the BBC version had more of a jazz feel to it.
