The Saturday Banana clip in 21 Years is not a musical item, it is a children's motorcycle display team, "The Imps", performing in the car park. It doesn't even feature Bill Oddie so as such is not really representative of the programme (perhaps Mr. Oddie refused to give permission, he is famously reticent to talk about the show). The performance of the novelty song Toast by Streetband on the show does exist, at least in domestic format but I can't off the top of my head remember whether it is on the episode held at Wessex. The Time For Blackburn clip in that compilation is The Who performing "The Magic Bus". It's been a while since I last visited Wessex. It used to be that anything transferred to DVD you order up and watch downstairs in the Hampshire Archives. At that time they had only one audio/video booth with CD and DVD players and a small TV set. If anyone else was already using it you just had to wait. If the material is only available in the Film archive then you need to make an appointment to view it. It may be different now but I suggest you ring before turning up. ~iw thank you IAN!

At the Slapstick Festival 2016 in Bristol later this month is a session entitled " Bill Oddie's Saturday Banana". "Bill Oddie introduces highlights and extracts from popular slapstick children’s television programmes from the 1960s and early 70s. Bill hosted the popular children’s TV programme Saturday Banana in the late 70s whilst being one third of comedy legend trio The Goodies. Here Bill shares his memories of children’s television from this period in a fun packed family programme featuring highlights from Here Come The Double Deckers! (1971), The Banana Splits (1968-70), Batman (1966-68) and more." www.watershed.co.uk/whatson/7084/bill-oddies-saturday-bananaThere is no mention of there being any clips of Saturday Banana, new or otherwise. It will be worth going if Mr. Oddie even speaks of the programme, something he has previously been reluctant to do. ~iw

We need someone in the audience to stand up and ask "What about the Saturday Banana?".
Aye.And what about the Bubblegum Brigade?
