Multi-Coloured Swap Shop | Growing up in the 1960's 70's

🌈🔥 Multi-Coloured Swap Shop Flashback! 🌸 The BBC’s Multi-Coloured Swap Shop (1976–1982) was a Saturday morning TV revolution. Hosted by Noel Edmonds, with the unforgettable Keith Chegwin, Maggie Philbin, and John Craven, it brought kids across the UK live phone-ins, music, competitions, and of course the iconic “swaps.” Running for 6 years, it wrapped up with its final episode on 27 March 1982 — but it remains the blueprint for every Saturday morning kids’ show that followed. #SwapShop #NoelE
