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.
