The show was hosted by [[Noel Edmonds]] with [[Keith Chegwin]], [[John Craven]] and, from 1978, [[Maggie Philbin]].

Also featured was Posh Paws, a stuffed toy dinosaur. Edmonds once explained that his name was actually spelt "Pohs Paws", because that is ''Swap Shop'' backwards as suggested in the phone in by 5-year-old Duncan Beck.

Another person named was "Eric" (Ilett), the often-referred-to but never-seen technician whose job was to lower a plastic globe containing postcards sent in by viewers as answers to competitions. Eric performed a similar task on the BBC's ''[[Ask The Family]]'' when technical assistance was required as part of the programme.{{citation needed|date=December 2017}}
