Saturday Superstore, 1982
By March 1982 Swap Shop had come to an end as Noel Edmonds was leaving to present his new Saturday night show The Late Late Breakfast Show. The BBC were in need of a successor – Saturday Superstore.
Clearly deciding not to tinker with the format too much Superstore’s format was very similar to Swap shop even down to the telephone number, although based around the idea of a ‘Superstore’.
After hitting screens in 1982 Saturday Superstore ran for 142 shows over 5 series ending in 1987.
