Saturday Morning, get down to the SuperStore....

Well here's the Store's General Manager, Mike Read and the king of Newsround John Craven at the start of another show.

Looks like Mike might just in from a late night party judging by the streamers adorning his neck!






Ahh, a wise move - keep Cheggers out of the studio! (Hmm, heard that somewhere before!)

He's out with the delivery van (ok, it's the then old Radio 1 Roadshow caravan) where he would interview and introduce live music acts.


Here's Mike on the phone (he's actually talking to Elton John in Dallas)

Remember the fun we all had trying to rearrange the letters in 'General Manager' to make witty and clever anagrams, such as A Larger Man Gene or Engage Learn Arm?






See, live music acts performing out on the road! (Ok, so they were sort of miming live!)

Here's the very first ever television performance by Wet, Wet, Wet on the delivery van stage!


Here's Sarah Greene (or the Saturday Girl as she was so un-PC-ly known!) trying to not look quite so silly in 80's fashions by clipping some huge ugly earrings onto the General Manager!

We've sort of touched on this elsewhere - this is a piccy from the infamously awful Two Left Feet video.

It probably seemed like such a good idea - as Mike always had 'being a pop-star' dreams - to rope in the rest of the team and make a record.

Brown Sauce it was not...


There's Maggie Thatcher with Keith and Crow (thankfully gagged - why wasn't he always like this!) in the Staff Room.

The show had a guest-list to die for over the years - they even managed to rope the then PM into appearing on the Pop Panel!

And look! The much sought after SuperStore Frisbee is there too!






Prince Edward dropped in to announce the winner of the (deep breath...) Saturday SuperStore Search for A SuperStar and stayed for the rest of the morning.

Here he is answering questions from the viewers.

 


After five years, the SuperStore closed it's doors for the last time.

Here's Mike and Sarah closing things down.

Incidentally, the lady who is wedged in between Mike and Midge Ure is Carolyn Marshall.

Who's She? Well, she has the dubious honour of being the co-presenter of probably the worst Saturday Morning summer replacement ever - which was It's Wicked... Check out the Summer Replacements section for the full grim horror of the programme!
