Well, there are many fine sites on the web dedicated to children's tv, and individual Saturday morning programmes - even a good attempt at a comprehensive list (TV Cream) - but since the late, lamented 01 811 8055, information has been scarce and scanty. You can look long and hard for info on Saturday Banana and find nothing. Of Get Set for Summer, zilch. Not even a fan site for the mighty Get Fresh!
That's what Sat Kids aims to change. As you can see, the compilation of our extensive database is still ongoing, and we need your help to beef it up. Any contributions you may have can be left on the message board for all to see, or e-mailed to satkids@paulmorris.co.uk.
By the way, Sat Kids was the working title for No. 73. It's never been used as an actual programme title, but it's kinda cool, don't you think?
