We're not too proud to say that we got it wrong - but we did! Somehow we forgot about the Multi-Coloured Music Show from 1981 and the second set of Mike Read's Replay Selection from 1984 - but we've made amends and now they are documented in the Spin Off Shows feature.

Our Christmas Present took the shape of the full Brown Sauce sequence from the 1981 Star Awards - and now takes up its place in both the Swap Shop Sound and Video section. The Christmas page was just so packed full of pictures and information that we've tweaked it slightly and kept it - it is now available in the Swap Shop section under Brown Sauce.

And that's it for 2004.

The archive is now enriched with a copt of Dick and Dom - The Dirty Norris Files, a DVD which you can go out and buy for yourself if you feel so enclined!

Two further archive additions in the shape of a Saturday SuperStore badge, and a copy of the Radio Times from September 1992 featuring Going Live! on the cover.

We're back in business after a quiet September..!

We start with updates to the archive - a different copy of Swap Shop book 4 has come our way - this one is signed by the team. Also, a Saturday Show script joins our collection of Saturday Morning related items.

The final missing Swap Shop publicity card of John Craven has finally come our way, so that's available for viewing in the normal place.

Also in the archive is a copy of the 8-14 October 1977 Radio Times which has a large Swap Shop feature. You can see the cover in the archive, and we'll have the relevant Swappie related pages transcribed soon.

With a complete set of revised Sound and Video galleries, now displayed in chronological order within media type (sound then video), in place on the site, we've added four new clips for your perusal. Which are...

Swap Shop - Maggie talks about Brown Sauce
Live & Kicking - Andi's (rather emotional!) last show
Dick & Dom - Series 2 Trailer
Dick & Dom - Series 2 Titles

More are coming shortly, plus we'll be revising what clips we can to our new size formats.

More new archive items to report. A now rare Saturday SuperStore sticker, a Live & Kicking 'Gromit' knitting pattern, and from the Saturday Show a Mug and Bowl set and also a badge.

Four Years Old!
To celebrate our birthday we've added two new clips. We've dug out another Swap Shop trailer out-take from our dusty archives - this time its Noel trying too hard to fit in just too much information - and the other is from Dick & Dom - baby racing with a French theme.. marvelously silly!

And a couple of new features too! We list all of the news and press links on bbc.co.uk that relate to the subject of this site, and crash back to the hideous fashions of 1977 with a recreation of a Swap Shop listing in the Radio Times.

What is going to be a month of few updates to site see the addition of a SuperStore Compliments Slip to the site's archive.

A 1999 CD compilation - Live & Kicking The Viewer's Choice Part One - comes to the site's archive.

A new card for the Live & Kicking collection (Emma Forbes) and a revised card for Going Live! (Sarah Greene).

What with one thing and another, not a lot happened to the site in June (apart from one minor cosmetic change we suspect no one spotted...), but we've a few updates to the site to report before our summer holiday comes along...

We've added a couple of video clips (in our new larger video format). One of a glimpse of The Goodies at the Swap Shop Rock Garden Party, and one of David Sneddon making a complete hash of guest presenting The Saturday Show. You'll find the clips in the appropriate show's Sound and Video gallery.

And talking of our new format... see the page detailing the change in our video standards by clicking here - it shows you just how much more picture you'll get.

We've also got an updated publicity card of Simon Grant from his earliest days on the Saturday Show.

Another items for the archive, this time its a CD from 1996 - 'Live & Kicking - 20 Kickin' Hits'.

And a quick update to the Saturday Show Publicaity Card section to add the four new cards from the current series of the show.

And we've finally tracked down a copy of the Keith Chegwin card that completes the second set of Swap Shop publicity cards.

We've made a few minor tweaks to the site's appearance, and re-worked the Publicity Card 'pop-up' screens - altogether far more aesthetically pleasing!

The 'Swing Your Pants' section finally takes up its intended home in the Features section.

A change to the Home Page introduces a far more ordered (and easier to administer) look.

A Going Live! Joke Box Joke Book comes our way, and takes up its place in our growing Archive.

Another of the rare black and white Swap Shop publicity cards finds it's way into the collection. See Cheggers in the appropriate card gallery.

And the Archive gets a new section - Magazines.

A new set of 'drop down' menus have been attached to Features, Publicity Cards and Archive on the site menu above. Site stats show that over 98.5% of our visitors use a compatible browser.
