I don't know if it's true or not but there is a theory it was supposed to be called Saturday Bonanza, but someone misheard the title
I'm pretty sure Runaround (or Runaground as it was known by somewhat cynical staff) started way before Saturday Banana. The story of the actual title of Saturday Banana was certainly drifting around the building even before it got on air - but who knows the real story?
The 'Six' in the gate at the start is telecine 3 tweaked up to give nice clean ident, quite why it cuts to the rolling ident instantly is a bit of the mystery as TC3 was a standard Rank Cintel telecine that required a 5 second run up to lock up etc - and you would never put a programme start like that to network or even local presentation.
