10 years ago, we started something that I never thought would continue this long.  In October 2006, Saturday morning TV was celebrating 30 years since the first show Swap Shop went on the air.  IN 1 October that year, we did a special 3 hour show telling the story of Swap Shop and all the shows since.  Saturday morning presenters Magie Philbin, Trev and Simon and Mitch Johnson joined me on the show and it was one of those shows which started as a small idea and grew to something much bigger.

Later that year, the BBC produced a show called It Started with Swap Shop, which was the most watched show on BBC2 that Christmas and in the last 10 years, I have had the pleasure to talk to many more presenters who were part of so many people's lives since 1976 on Saturday mornings.

The thing that I have found is that our listeners really are still interested in Saturday morning TV and remembering those shows, and those who were part of them LOVE talking about it!  Trev Neal and Simon Hickson produced the most enthusiastic reaction to any of the guests we've ever had on the show.

All those who have appeared on the show have taken part in the Saturday morning Tv SuperQuiz, testing their knowledge of their era of Saturday morning TV, and through all the special guests, we have a wealth of material that has now been put into one final Saturday morning Tv project.

First everyone taking part in the quiz makes up one show.  We've given prizes and certificates to the winner and it was great to finally get to meet Trev and Simon a few weeks ago in order to give Trev his certificate and HRB mug.

I've also compiled the interviews and clips from the shows into one special 90 minute show which will go out on 2 October – the anniversary itself.

Finally, some of the interviews will be repeated in full in 3 more Best of the Guests shows.  We've also put together two music based shows.

It's been a personal pleasure talking to so many of the people I grew up watching over the last few years and this seemed to be a great way to bring this particular theme to an end.  So it all starts this Sunday when Andi Peters will join me as my special guest and tries his hand at the quiz. 

For everyone who remembers all of these shows, these are 8 shows you won't want to miss!

TV presenter Andi Peters will be the special guest on The Sound of Sunday this weekend to continue the show's celebration of 40 years since the first Saturday morning Tv show Multi-Coloured Swap Shop started.

Andi presented in the CBBC Broom Cupboard alongside Ed The Duck from 1989 until 1993 before moving to present Saturday morning show Live and Kicking in 1993.  Since then his TV career has taken him infront of and behind the camera and he can currently be found on Good Morning Britain on ITV.

Andi ewill be remembering his time on at the BBC and he will be the last person to participate in the Sound of Sunday Saturday Morning Tv SuperQuiz to find out how much he knows about Saturday morning TV.  Find out how he does and if he can beat Trev Neal and Mike Read who currently share first place with 100% on Sunday afternoon.

Andi Peters on The Sound of Sunday, this Sunday from 1.30pm.

On 2 October, there wil be a Sound of Sunday special profiling Saturday morning TV with clips from the shows and special guests who have appeared on The Sound of Sunday over the last 10 years including Maggie Philbin, Mike Read, Keith Chegwin, Trev and Simon and Mark Rhodes.

Olympic Team GB Gold medal winning diver Chris Mears was the special guest on HRB this weekend and at the same time, picked the winning number in this weekend's Sainsbury's prize draw.

Chris chatted about diving, his Rio experience and his possible future career as a DJ/music producer. 

This weekend's Sainsbury's winner was Derek on Cardiology who received his prize of a Sainsbury's goody bag later in the afternoon. 

Every year at the start of a new season, we make some minor, or sometimes major changes to the shww's running order.  Sometimes these changes end up being reversed, but this year, they all seemed to work as planned.  Sundays have got much busier in the last 12 months though, with generally more requests in particular.  In the whole of last Sunday, we played around 70 requests on HRB which is great, and when you add in the Sainsbury's draw which gets us back on the wards DURING the show, it shows that our listeners are still very much at the heart of what we do on the show and on HRB.

Rarely does a Sunday go by without having to drop something and last weekend it was the start of our Memory Makers series remembering Saturday nmorning TV.  It's 40 years since Swap Shop started and we will be marking that anniverary with a special show that will be heard on 2 October.  Do tell us your Saturday morning TV memories.  

We'll also reflect on the sport this weekend with the return of the Premier League and of course the Rio Olympics.  

Sunday 1.30pm

After just one week off (well actually we have never really been away if you count the two summer specials over the last fortnoght), series 26 of The Sound of Sunday starts this weekend. 

Not a huge amount will change.  We have moved a couple of things around the running order, refreshed the Sainsbury's Draw theme and added a new competition, but other than that series 26 will sound much the same as series 25.

One thing that we will be doing over the next couple of months is cokmpleting something that we started 10 years ago.  In 2006 we celebrated 30 years of Saturday morning TV and since then we have had numerous people from Saturday morning TV on as spoecial guests.  They all took part io the Saturday Morning TV SuperQuiz and on the occasion of the 40th anniversary, we thought it was time to bring that particular feature to an end.  The winner has already received their prize.  Find out more in the coming weeks as Memory Makers marks 40 years since the start of Swap Shop and in October we bring you a very special show featuring all our guests from the last 10 years along with clips from the shows and plenty more.
