From L&K series 5 it's the first visit to The Staff Room. It's Mr Wazzock's first day, Mr Slack has a sick note excusing him from games and for Mr Moody it's not like the old days...

Here's the 'Andi Cam' trailer for Live & Kicking that went out live just before Superman on 13 January 1996, this includes a short piece of pre-broadcast footage.

Saturday Mash-Up!'s Trouble In Store - Episode 7
Mr Jobsworth's latest idea is the Bargain Bin and tasks Sharon and Keith to draw in customers by promoting the items, what could go wrong?
#saturdaymornings
In 1963 The Krazees, and their house, mysteriously disappeared only to reappear in the same place 35 years later in 1998. Maybe some sort of time travelling accident...

This is a montage of all of the variants of the Going Live! titles including the version used on the 'Adventure Films' VHS that was never broadcast.

Little more from The Krazees, this time it's their song 'Yeah Yeah Yeah' - assuming Zoe, Jamie and the audience can get past Blobby!
#saturdaymornings
Thirty five years after they had the biggest selling single of all time, The Krazees featured on Live & Kicking. Here's Zoe introducing the song - We're So Crazy.

Saturday Mash-Up!'s Trouble In Store - Episode 6
Mr Jobsworth introduces the team to the new self-service checkout, but it's not too long before Keith manages to break it and has to stand in.
#saturdaymornings
The third series of Fully Booked had it's own weekly sketch - The Smedleys.
Here's the first episode from 27 April 1997 featuring Hedley, Gran and Pop, and of course, the lovely Lovely.

Saturday Mash-Up! tomorrow at 9am on CBBC and BBC iPLAYER.

Here's Andi explaining (or trying to...) how they've made it easier for you to use that new fangled Email to get in touch with Live & Kicking.
Letters and faxes seem a lot simpler...

Here's the reveal of all of the Easter Eggs from this week's Saturday Mash-Up! that we spotted - if you've seen any we've missed let us know!
#saturdaymornings
Zoe and Jamie's balloon journey to Television Centre means they're running a little late this morning, fortunately Ben, Rich and Gez are ready in the studio to seamlessly stand-in.

Saturday Mash-Up! marked the 50th anniversary of BBC Saturday morning television yesterday and the production team left many 'Easter Eggs' across the programme. Here's what we've found - see how many you can see (some easier than others) and hear.
#saturdaymornings
Did you spot badges just like these being worn by the team on Saturday Mash-Up! yesterday as they marked the 50th anniversary of BBC Saturday morning television? There were other Easter Eggs too…
