The telephone number etched in the minds of a generation of kiddies for Swapshop, Saturday Superstore and other Saturday morning tv shows back in the day.
Did anyone here ever call in?
Who did you speak to, and what did you ask them?
Anyone remember the prank / obscene callers to Five Star and the like? Comedy gold! |

"I thought it was
081 811 8181 ?
Why does that ring a bell?  "
'Cos you're a young 'un! I think that was the number AFTER the one I quoted! That's the Going Live! number probably!  |

Wow when I read the title I was sure I new that number from somewhere, and when I read that it was swap shop I thought nooooo he's got that wrong
So I had to check , I really did think that number was very recent
But no it's from way back when |

I remember when it changed from 0818118181 to 01818118181 and they had to shoehorn an extra 1 into the jingle so it didn't quite flow any more. Was that Live & Kicking? |

Unfortunately, it's the 'old' number that seems familiar to me ... 
Sadly I was never allowed to ring it as anything other than essential phone calls was considered a waste of money by my parents.
I would have swapped my sister for more or less anything though ...

Excellent. Does that mean I can now disqualify myself from the inane "mature woman" threads? Hurrah. |

01 288 8055 was the very first number for swap shop and it changed to the infamous 01 811 8055 after the first series. The first show was 2.10.76 so it's just had its 40th birthday and the 081 was from Live and Kicking |

I knew the original telephone number as it came up in a pub quiz a couple of years ago but I did Google the date out if interest |

I remember going to Chester Castle when Saturday Swap Shop was there with Keef Chegwin... I'll be gutted if it turns out he's not just a ex alkie and did a bit of underage boffing |
