Below is an episode list for both the British TV series Saturday Live and Friday Night Live which were essentially the same production. The series originally aired on Channel 4 between 1985 and 1988, but it briefly returned in 1996, and there have also been a number of one-off special shows.[1] This was a variety show transmitted live, showcasing a mix of comedy and music. For the pilot and the first 3 series, after the live shows aired, they were edited into shorter compilation shows which were shown a few months after each series ended.
