Saturday Mash-Up! is a British Saturday morning children's magazine entertainment programme on CBBC and BBC Two first broadcast on 30 September 2017. It is presented by Jonny Nelson, Yasmin Evans and Hacker T. Dog. A puppet head of a dinosaur also appears each section, often signing a song before coughing up smoke and being forced to stop as well as making comments and helping with the viewer comments each show. It is CBBC's first series in this genre since TMi moved to Fridays in 2010. It is said to "continue the tradition of iconic Saturday morning programmes such as Live & Kicking, Going Live!, Saturday Superstore and Multi-Coloured Swap Shop."
Every week, the series broadcasts live from MediaCityUK in Salford. The show consists of celebrity guests, gunge, games, sketches, alongside CBBC shows, and focuses on a live chat with kids across the United Kingdom, either on the phone, or a web chat.
At the end of the episode, the Mash-Up Monarch must choose who will be gunged by the Bucketeers: Johnny, Yasmin or one of the guests. Whoever is chosen is hit with 20 buckets of gunge.
A number of an object (for example, footballs) are placed into another object (for example, a phonebox). Viewers at home on the phone must guess what number of an object is in the other object. The theme for this segment was composed by Andy Blythe and Marten Joustra, who previously wrote songs for Dick & Dom in da Bungalow.
Viewers are asked to send in a picture of themselves doing something different each week (for example, throwing away their homework).
Each week, a viewer watching at home is chosen to make various desicions to make. These include choosing what episode of a programme to show and who will get gunged at the end of the episode.
Two celebrities must push a shopping trolley into a pyramid of 600 toilet rolls to see how many they can collect. Each toilet roll is worth 1 point, with the golden toilet roll being worth 10 points and the brown toilet roll causing them to lose 5 points. They can choose between 3 trollies, which change each week. The loser is hit in the face with two custard pies.
