[TV] Tiswaz or Saturday Superstore

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

Were they actually up against each other? The most usual question is Tiswas v Swap Shop but maybe Superstore overlapped once Swap Shop was gone.

Yeah swap shop for me. Tiswas was too chaotic.

 

[Brighton Mackem]

TISWAS was the punk rock kids TV

 

[Is it PotG?]

TISWAS all the way. Swap Shop was all soppy bollox well-meaning BBC Blue Peter type tosh, whereas TISWAS was anarchic ultra-violent slapstick. Bob Carolgees And Spit The Dog! The Phantom Flan Flinger! Pulling kids up by their ears! Chris Tarrant and Sally James were just perfick. Even Lenny Henry was moderately funny. Oh, and I always remember that the only band they ever got in to interview who failed to read the room were The Clash

Weller was in surprisingly good form when The Jam appeared

 

[The Mole]

Tiswas was one of the great tv shows

any other Saturday morning show just does not come anywhere close

 

[Hotchilidog]

Tiswas had heavy metal bands on it. No contest!

 

[METALMICKY]

Possibly the finest moment on Tiswas. And RIP Clive Burr

Totally agree with this but you forgot the dying fly

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Weller was in surprisingly good form when The Jam appeared

And a cameo from Dennis Hegarty (De La Salle (pre Cardinal Newman), Rocky Sharpe and Darts).

 

[Nobby]

Spit the Dog was the best tellie ever

 

[Robinjakarta]

Ah, Sally James. Tiswas of course for that reason.

 

[Nicks]

In the Local Pub early doors watching Tiswas then onto a game at the Goldstone.
What more could a bloke ask for back in the day.

 

[curly69]

Tiswas I loved it no contest.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

I would like to formally apologise for the absolute mess I have made of this thread.

Custard pie in the face for me.

Are you alluding to the phantom flan finger?

 

[Comrade Sam]

Tiswas!

Shit, Sally James is 73 now, but still hot, which can mean only one thing, I have gotten old as well. Not forgetting of course that Tiswas grew up with us and became OTT
