Join the SuperStore gang for another fun-packed morning. Among the special guests calling in are cartoonist and film-maker Peter Maddocks. He's got details of a competition that could turn your idea for a new cartoon character into a real animated film.
Gorden Kaye has asked 'Rene' from 'Allo 'Allo to join him in the coffee shop today, and apparently he's going to sing!
That Really Wild Show bunch, Terry Nutkins, Nick Davies and Chris Packham, are bringing in some not so wild furry and feathered friends to say hello. You can phone in and try to stump them with a tricky animal question. If you succeed you could win a SuperStore frisbee.
Phillip Hodson will be chatting to Sarah about family rules, the subject of this week's Growing Pains feature.
As well as all this, there's cartoon action in Dungeons and Dragons, the latest pop videos and John Craven's Special Newsround Saturday Report.

Unconvinced by a disembodied voice, Jerry is honoured by a personal appearance - a senior citizen wearing baggy trousers, anorak, sneakers and baseball cap, who sports a talent for throwaway gags.
