What are your memories of this Saturday morning staple which ran from 1993 to 2001?

 

The following presenters who presented this were:

  • *Andi Peters

*Emma Forbes

*Jamie Theakston

*Zoe Ball

*Steve Wilson

*Emma Ledden

*Ortis Deley

*Katy Hill

*Sarah Carwood

*Trey Farley

*Heather Suttie

The co-presenters were:

  • *John Barrowman

*Trevor and Simon

*Don Austen

*John Eccleston

 

The voiceover was Mitch Johnson.

 

 

I remember the phone number jingle:

 

 

Hit, Miss, Maybe:

 

 

 

And of course, Mr Blobby:

 

 

The Leprechauns (Sage and Onion)

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.

Classic hangover telly. Always rather liked Zoe Ball too

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!

Loved it when Jamie and Zoe were doing it, brilliant kids TV.

Ah so this was the precursor to This Morning!!

 

Why was it axed?

Declining viewing figures, I think.

 

Presumably it was up against SMTV by the end of its run and nothing stood a chance against that
