Sam & Mark's Big Friday Wind-Up (also called Sam & Mark's Big Wind-Up for repeat compilations featuring just the pranks and Sam & Mark's Big Christmas Wind-Up for Christmas specials) is a British children's entertainment series aired on the CBBC Channel since 16 September 2011. It is presented by Sam & Mark. It is effectively the replacement for TMi (later known as Sam & Mark's TMi Friday). A fifth series started airing from 18 December 2015 A sixth series has been commissioned.

Each episode begins with Sam & Mark speaking to children in the audience who are said to have an embarrassing member of their family. They happen to bring out one of the audience member's mother/father and get them to do their embarrassing feat. They allow their children to get back at them by playing a game called 'Mum/Dad on a Wheel' which has been recently changed to 'Mum/Dad Pin Bowling'.

Another segment is 'In Yer House' which involves Sam & Mark having to put on a disguise and play-act towards a certain child/victim without being seen, and once they are, they are 'rumbled'. There are four rounds to this game.

Episode 1 was a Christmas special which aired over 1 month before the start of the main series (episodes 2 - 11)

Like the last series, episode 1 was a Christmas special which aired just under 1 month before the start of the main series (episodes 2 - 11)

Like the last two series, series 6 began with a Christmas episode in December followed by the rest of the series in January.

Sam & Mark's Big Friday Wind-Up has been nominated for 6 British Academy Children's Awards and won three. It won twice for Best Presenter in 2013 and 2015 and won Best Entertainment in 2016.
