Talk:Multi-Coloured Swap Shop

Oops... re: my edit summary imdb/tv cream... no, they both have "Multicoloured". No loss, the page is correct anyway. - Motor (talk) 14:39:00, 2005-08-08 (UTC)

Wiped Shows

Numerous editions of Swap Shop were wiped in the early 1990s along with several other children's shows of the same era; the editions in question are now confirmed as missing by the BBC despite having existed - and in many cases been used for clips - only a couple of years earlier. Arguably the fact that most of the clips in It Started With Swap Shop, again including some that had been used in clip shows in master quality in the late 1980s, had to be sourced from off-air recordings counts as citation for this. Please leave this section in as it might lead to off-air copies of missing shows being discovered.

The show was still going in the 90s and they were redundant. --Owen1983 (talk) 17:11, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

Removed paragraph

This text Since closing, Swap Shop has inspired such web sites as eswapit.com and freecycle.org

I can't find any evidence that Swap Shop inspired those sites. And Noel didn't invent the concept of swapping things.

According to http://www.freecycle.org/aboutus.php?tpl=background the site was created in Tucson, Arizona. I doubt they've even heard of Swap Shop in Arizona.

Phone number

That iconic phone number still rings when it's dialled! Well, updated for 2008 as 020 8811 8055 anyway... Dmccormac (talk) 13:22, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Original Phone Number

wasn't the original phone number 01-288 8055  ? Chilkoot (talk) 16:09, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

=Posh Paws

Posh Paws was named as the result of a write-in competition for viewers, who wrote in with suggestions. 'Posh Paws' was overwhelmingly the most popular choice. Sadly I don't have a reference for this, but I did see the announcment live (I suppose that counts as WP:original_research). I noticed immediately that it isn't "Swap Shop" backwards as Noel said it was.The Yowser (talk) 13:52, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Does any one remember...

Does any one remember a spin-off to the show that was broadcast on Wednesday evenings, that was a shorter programme that was aimed at adults? I think it was called "Lucky Numbers", and if any one can remember the details on this programme it could be inserted here somewhere. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 00:05, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Programme title

I have it in my head that the programme's correct title is: Noel Edmonds' Multi-coloured Swap Shop - and searching for that on the net finds quite a few of them. The full title makes more grammatical sense - otherwise it'd likely be THE Multi-coloured Swap Shop.

Full title appears on Oracle/teletext: image: http://www.superpage58.com/images/vault/1999/04-apr/01/digitiser-screenshot-archive-1999-04-01-672-1.png From: http://www.superpage58.com/digitiser-vault-teletext-screenshot-image-archive-1999-04-01.htm
