For kids of the 1970s through to the late 90s, Saturdays were defined by their morning children’s TV programming. Whether it was BBC or ITV, you could expect 3 hours of cartoons, interviews, games, prizes, sketches and all kinds of edutainment. This week on CheapShow, Paul & Eli decide to find out which of the early, classic shows was the best. After scouring charity shops and auction sites, the Cheap Chaps have collated a collection of Saturday Morning TV tat, from books to novelty records! Based on the quality of this merchandise, they’ll decide which show reigns supreme. However, there is a problem… There is TOO much to talk about and investigate, so they’ve decided to split this quest into two parts. In Part One, Paul & Eli will look at the pioneers of those early broadcasts, Tiswas (from ITV) and Swap Shop (from the BBC) and see what they had to offer. As they will find out, there are surprises in store, quaint old practices to admire, weird stories to gawp at and dull tales to tolerate from a young Noel Edmonds. It’s a show packed with nostalgia, stupidity, and the usual upsetting and vulgar tangents.
