@freemind4ever

No, I'm in London. The Saturday Show was broadcast across the ITV network at the same time.

MrJim, I don't suppose you have the First Post (with Sue Robbie) episode about Terrahawks, from 1984? I suppose that's too much to ask, just checking...I remember one girl (can't for the life of me remember her name) wrote to FP saying she liked everything about Terrahawks except Yungstar, whose gurgling drove her mad. It would be nice to hear the First Post theme-tune again...

[MrJim]

No sorry.

Thank you for posting this. I used to love The Saturday Show (although Tiswas was, and still is, the best!), and I fancied Tommy Boyd, even though I was just seven at the time. But hang on, is Kate Kestral a real person?

[MrJim]

You fancied Tommy Boyd? I suppose it could be worse, you could have had a crush on Timmy Mallet lol. Or Stu Francis (I could crush a grape). Yeah Saturday Morning shows were best in the early 80's.

Kate Kestral wasn't a real person. But was portrayed by a singer called Moya Griffiths for the publicity related stuff like the SOS video etc.
