October 17, 20222 yr I was going to music school on a Saturday morning by the time Live & Kicking started and by the time I stopped going to music school I was too old to be watching it so never really saw much of it. One memory I do have though from the Andi Peters era was them singing "Play up your jumper by calling this number 0891........" I did try looking that up a while back to see if I wasn't just imagining it but couldn't find anything about it.
October 21, 20222 yr Liked Going Live more as I was getting too old for it by the mid 90s whereas I was a child when the other one was on! Most of these presenters went onto R1 eventually!
October 23, 20222 yr Scandal around Andi Peters and Emma Forbes using their journalistic privilege and not queuing with everyone else to get backstage at TOTP
October 23, 20222 yr Author Ah so this was the precursor to This Morning!! Why was it axed? Declining viewing figures, I think.
October 23, 20222 yr Presumably it was up against SMTV by the end of its run and nothing stood a chance against that
