Here are the Leprechauns giving three unsuspecting people the ride of their lives in a BBC lift. Two of the lift occupants are Don and John who operated and voiced Sage and Onion, and this is beautifully shot to conceal them operating the duo in the final section.

After failing to get her dyne [duvet] cleaned the last time she was on Live & Kicking, Whigfield pays a visit to Roberts Records... with her dyne [duvet]... They don't do duvets... #saturdaymornings

Time to make some more noise... There's now only 80 days to go until 2 October 2026 which marks 50 years of BBC Saturday morning television. Come on BBC, surely you're not going to let a major milestone in British television broadcasting just go unnoticed?

One, Two, Three? Sage and Shamrock are back after their summer break at the start of the seventh series of Live & Kicking on 25 September 1999, and a little magic trick doesn't quite provide the expected result. #saturdaymornings

A little more pre-broadcast footage, this time from Going Live! Gordon and Hacksaw Jim Duggan have a bit of a stand-off on 7 November 1992. #saturdaymornings

New additions to our archive. Two badges given away at the recording of ‘Antiques Roadshow Going Live!’ In 1991. Further programmes retitled ‘Antiques Roadshow: the Next Generation’ were broadcast until 2006, but had no specific association with another programme.

A Saturday bonus... Here is the pre-broadcast material from the recording of Live & Kicking on 16 April 1994 that we posted earlier. This includes the rehearsal for Take That's 'Every Loony Wins' trail (which went a bit better than the live broadcast version!)... #saturdaymornings

Will the BBC be marking the 50th anniversary of Saturday Morning television?

Time for a spot of cookery on Live & Kicking with Jeff and Geoff the chefs. Seems like they have an rather unusual cake recipe for Andi and Emma with a historic Saturday morning twist... #saturdaymornings

Photo cards... we've got a few. Here's a quick flip through our collection - take a closer look on the Saturday Mornings website. #saturdaymornings

On the first Going Live! after Phillip Schofield's 'Joseph' announcement, 9 November 1991, the team had a little fun at his expense. Comedy duo Nick and James and Gordon had a couple of surprises waiting for the new Joseph... #saturdaymornings

It's back to 23 April 1994 for the first programme of the third, and final series, of Parallel 9. The early arrival of Parallel 9's new commander causes a little chaos for Kovan. ➡️ youtu.be/9TZHTIjkpa8

The Leprechauns have found themselves in a bit of a situation with an angry mob so take shelter in a phone box (somewhere in London) and call Jamie for help... #saturdaymornings

Sad to hear of the death of the great actress Dame Penelope Keith who starred in many great television comedies. Here she is on the last Swap Shop talking to Noel and answering a viewer's question.

Towards the end of the first series of Live & Kicking a feature was 'accidentally' created where Emma was challenged to say the phone number in a different language each week. Here's our Foreign Phone Number mega mix of all nine languages! #saturdaymornings

One of our Instagram followers reminded us of the slight differences in the titles from the first edition of Fully Booked series 4 titles. Here's a side-by-side comparison of the titles from programme 1 and programme 2 that makes the differences easy to spot!

It's back to 26 April 1998 for the start of the fourth series of Fully Booked. Gone was the hotel, Morag, Grant and Sarah and in came a brand new studio format programme with three new presenters. See the programme on our YouTube Channel: ➡️ youtu.be/Y211Zdb5JJ8

It's far too hot!!!! In an attempt to provide a little cooling, here are the Leprechauns messing about in the snow on 'Almost Live, Definitely Kicking' from 28 December 1996. #saturdaymornings

It's back to 19 February 1999 for today's L&K Friday. Liz and Steve are joined by Shauna Lowry and the Cartoons, whilst Sage and Shamrock are still Up The Junction and there's more from Blobby. ➡️ youtu.be/Q1gN5hlw3yg

It's now less than 100 days until 2 October when it's the 50th anniversary of the broadcast of the first edition of Swap Shop. The question still remains, will the BBC be marking the occasion? ➡️ saturdaymornings.co.uk/page/50will

The Leprechaun name vote result is just in - well, just in on 16 December 1995. And the chosen names are... #saturdaymornings

It's the final stage of the Leprechauns getting their names! Here are Emma and the Leps selecting the final pair of names and opening the vote, do remember to ask permission before you call. What will be the chosen names? We'll have the results later! #saturdaymornings

No, we have no idea what this bumper (from the 2000 summer programme FBi) was all about either. (Don't try this at home) #saturdaymornings
