When was Blockbusters ever shown on a Saturday evening? I remember it always being on weekdays after CITV?
Most itv regions scheduled it weekdays at 5.15, but some screened in weekday afternoons and some scheduled it 6 days a week, which included a Saturday screening ;in the period 1984 - 1988, according to Wikipedia, in 1989-1990, some regions still screened on Saturdays or even Sundays, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockbusters_(UK_game_show)

Oh, right, cool. I deffo miss that show, what an absolute classic it was. And Bob Hollness was such a gent. Hard to believe it ended on ITV 21 years ago.

The first series (1983) is being repeated on Challenge Monday-Friday 10:30-11:30am
I loved those shows too. Especially twiggy in Buck Rogers and also Metal Micky - one of my favourite kids shows. Loved the dad he was always moaning and the granny who always called Micky Fluff and fed him his gum drops.
Remember Alf too being on - it was funny too.
Loved watching the Pink Panther - it was my favourite cartoon show when I was a kid and then they brought out the pink chocolate bars in the shape of the pink panther
