There was at least one Pebble Mill spin-off during the 1970s, when BBC1 rested its main Saturday chat show, "Parkinson". BBC Birmingham was commissioned to produce a late night chat show. "Saturday Night at the Mill", was the result and Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen were the regular house band; they performed the show's signature tune. The programme was directed and produced in Birmingham by Roy Norton and Roy Ronnie. In 1981 an early evening version of a hit BBC1 show from the sixties called "Six Five Special" resurfaced during the Mill's summer break, presented by Donny MacLeod and Marian Foster.
