Talk:Multi-Coloured Swap Shop

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oops... re: my edit summary imdb/tv cream... no, they both have "Multicoloured". No loss, the page is correct anyway. - Motor (talk) 14:39:00, 2005-08-08 (UTC)

[edit] Wiped Shows

Numerous editions of Swap Shop were wiped in the early 1990s along with several other children's shows of the same era; the editions in question are now confirmed as missing by the BBC despite having existed - and in many cases been used for clips - only a couple of years earlier. Arguably the fact that most of the clips in It Started With Swap Shop, again including some that had been used in clip shows in master quality in the late 1980s, had to be sourced from off-air recordings counts as citation for this. Please leave this section in as it might lead to off-air copies of missing shows being discovered.

[edit] Removed paragraph

This text Since closing, Swap Shop has inspired such web sites as eswapit.com and freecycle.org

I can't find any evidence that Swap Shop inspired those sites. And Noel didn't invent the concept of swapping things.

According to http://www.freecycle.org/aboutus.php?tpl=background the site was created in Tucson, Arizona. I doubt they've even heard of Swap Shop in Arizona.
