Saturday is Tiswas day

Well ok it isn't, but do you remember the excitment that, as a kid, you used to get at 9.25 (or was it earlier/later in those days, can't remember) when Tiswas was about to come on.
You see all the cooler kids watched Tiswas over Noel Tidybeard and his Swap Shop. It was the edge that Tarrant, James, Gorman et al brought to Saturday mornings, the anarchy, the sense of not knowing what is going to come next. Whilst all the squares were calling up Tidybeard, trying to swap their Rubicks Cube for a TCR set, us cooler cats were doing the Dying Fly dance and singing the Bucket of Water song. Whilst the anoraks were watching Craven bore us with the latest country news and info, the dudes amongst us were waiting for The Phantom Flan Flinger to do his magic.
Swap Shop had Cheggers, Tiswas has McCoy (a future Dr Who as well), Tiswas had Sally James, Swap Shop had Maggie Philbin for crying out loud.
The point of this spot of kiddies nostalgia?
Well Saturday is FC day again, and this coming Saturday, the cooler kids will all be playing out at Radcliffe Borough and no doubt in The Last Orders.
Saturday is FC
Never a day to miss see
Cause Saturday is Fc Daaayyyyyyy
