What's Happening to Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of BBC Saturday Morning Television?
UPDATED: Do the BBC have any plans to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Saturday morning children's television?
Saturday Mash-Up! returns for a ninth series. Production Team jobs for 2026 have been advertised (CLICK HERE TO SEE) which confirms the programme's return!
It's still wait and see just what will happen, but we've put together some of our own comments, ideas, and speculation of what 'could' happen to celebrate the anniversary.
My Saturday Mornings is a new feature that will allow you to customise certain parts of your Saturday Mornings experience.
To start with, we've made versions of many of the analogue clocks that have featured on the programmes across the years, choose a clock and it'll show at the top of the side menu here on the home page.
We'll be adding more features later in the year.

Celebrating Saturdays since 2000
We started this site in 2000 when Live & Kicking was on the air and probably never imagined that we'd still be adding to it after all these years.
The webmaster is Martin Whale who has been an avid watcher of BBC Saturday morning television since the very first edition of Swap Shop.
