[joseph85delaney]

[rexana]

I used to watch this every week. So many memories from that tune.

I remember Jamie Theakston and Zoe Ball the most.

And those guys on the far left look like Jedward. xD

[KaydeyRai]

That floating cat head used to creep me out

[RussianRaina]

I adore Andi Peters. Great childrens presenter. Queen of the BBC etc etc

[Andi090386]

Thumbs up if you rember the original phone number for Live & Kicking

081 811 81 81 then it later became 0181 811 81 81.

Thumbs up if you rember the song to the phone number.....

Yes I'm showing my age but I don;t care, I'm 25.

[xriskiex]

[watson2078]

JOHN BARROWMAN?

[AHStarWars4Life]

:O HOLY SHIT! It's Jedward!!!! xD

[FAWLTYWORZELMELDREW]

This was what SATURDAYS were really made of: Live & Kicking, Boxing on Grandstand, a great Classic ITV Saturday Afternoon Film, Batman, Big Break, Gladiators, Blind Date, An Audiance With......, The Late Night Film.

Old School Saturdays, bring'em back.

[thebryman]

@FAWLTYWORZELMELDREW amen to that!

[NickyLess]

I had NO clue that Barrowman was a presenter on there?! :O tbh though, I was more an SMTV live and Fully Booked fan haha

[gazza1190]

saturday morning tv. waas top when you were a kid. then they stopped it then. have to say GOING LIVE with philip scofield and the lovely sarah greene.

[spike250684]

[Hadouken471]

OMG.... 15 YEARS OF MY LIFE WONDERING WHAT THIS SHOW WAS

& i finally found it :D

[emokidx555]

I loved Live & Kicking, I miss it so much. The bosses at the BBC are utter twats for taking the show off air - it got more viewers than any other show on the BBC has gotten for a Saturday morning kids show. Wankers.

[Applemask]

John Barrowman somehow resisting the urge to take over the entire screen.

[flixishere]

@Applemask I'm gonna have to agree with you on that one!

[Kerriangel]

@Applemask *shakes fist* Barrowman!!!!

[gemalmighty]

HAHA 90's Jedward :)

wow i used to love LIve and Kicking!!!!

[Backintime90stv]

Great video from 1990's Saturday morning show Live & Kicking flixishere

[garrysurrey]

[bmused55]

Back when childrens weekend TV had some quality, innocent entertainment!

[ashita100]

Ah the good old days

0894 1233 44!

[carldiff]

it was 0181 811 81 81, wasn't it?

[ashita100]

yes it was now i think about it

mine was the number to A kids show though

i think

[BlitzNeko]

@carldiff

RIGHT! I wonder what happens if you call now...

[emokidx555]

@BlitzNeko

The 0181 811 8181 number still works. Obviously the 0181 is no longer in use, so just replace that with 0208 :)

[JBTheselloutflaw]

is that John Barrowman on the left or am I just seeing things?

[nahpop1]

thats exactly what i thought......the camera doesn't stay on him 4 long enough, but im sure it him lol!!

[thepod96]

[IloveCharlixoxo]

OMG I love Live And Kicking I used to watch it all the time with my Grandad and Nanna every Saturday whilest eating my breakfast. I loved series 1 with Andi and Emma and series 2 with Jamie and Zoe . How many series did Live And Kicking have I can't remember? Bring back Live And Kicking to CBBC on BBC1 and The CBBC Channel. I wonder what Andi Peters, Emma Forbs, Jamie Thinkston and Zoe Ball are up to now? Do they still do TV presenting? I love Live And Kicking forever and I always will. xxxxxxx

[Galacticavatar]

Up yours.

[s0mmie]

Wow. Great memories. They sure knew how to make kids TV back in the day, huh?

[djhalfords]

fuckin love the 90's

[dazcouz]

Dunno why but Live and Kicking reminds me of when I was a 11 year old boy going to my nans and eating those Neon Nerds sour candy sweets before the F1 qualifying lol

[zander469]

You know the sad thing is that these kind of shows can never be brought back as pop culture has moved on - but not necessarily for the better

[kateaboth]

Was that John Barrowman???

[batmanmarch]

Yep!

[ryhorn100]

Fucking hell! I forgot all about Live & Kicking's intro. Now I remember the theme to it so well.

[jadeyfer]

God i used to love Live and Kicking

Great show, Would watch it every Saturday lol

xxx

[porridge12345]

i remember watching that episode :O

[scottaz1]

more like frtizl vision lol

[thetalentedmrman]

good memories. Saturday morning tv used to be great, entertaining.

Now childrens tv is a load of pure shit all together.

Nothing compares.

It's all shitty cookery programmes and crap. It' all downhill now.

[JWhitelaw99]

I fucking hated Live & Kicking. My problem, as with all saturday morning show like this, they used to split the cartoons into 2 halves and pack teh breaks between them with utter shit. Thi was still better than that terrible Warner Brothers esq show on Citv tho, what utter gobshite

[morgman43]

I'd sooner endure 'utter shit' than be advertised to by commercial pick-pockets.

[adcproduction]

john barrowman.... toclafane like spheres in the titles??? i wonder where RTD got the inspiration from? :P

[Hoddersrevenge]

This literally made me stick to the TV at 9 on a Saturday morning. I agree, NOTHING will top L&K

[Ansuzie]

Is it just me or has Andi Peters not aged a single day?

[mariotaz]

@Ansuzie

Yeah XD

His hair has though.

LIVE AND KICKING WOOO!

[rayblack2004]

@Ansuzie i agree, same goes 4 tom cruise

[Xinexed]

It almost makes me cry thinking of the old and better days.

[dolphinsneu]

can someone post a clip with the leprechauns?

[GerardWayStalker]

when i was little, my big sister sent in for a teddy of sage and onion and instead i got a signed postcard of them XD

[Soviet7799]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!! LIVE & KICKING! Zoe ball n co, awesome stuff!

[thegoodcocklife]

memories

i miss good saturday morning tv

[Tomtheflyboy]

I liked this show

[cookiecrumblemonster]

wow. the 90's were the best for tv!!!

[playmateydeluxe]

Ooh the memories..

[234566tgvb]

Those where the days.

[binkatje05]

i loved this so much. what's the name again of the two Irish puppets??

[SickDashRendar]

sage & onion

[fraserkatie]

The leprechauns

[madhobbit]

9am start? thats why i never saw the beginning

[steviebond099]

"If you missed it, you just missed out"

That's what they always said at the end of the show

[obrienle]

omg this brings back memories of the good times...

[billydeeuk]

OMG! I had the "Live & Kicking" show maker game on my computer

[boabby87]

i fuckin loved this!

[LondonStarGirl]

I thought that was him, but then I was like... why would John Barrowman be on there....lol

[JamieA2006]

Oh wow.

Brings back memories. Oh how I wish I was a kid again haha.

[dearone1]

Ratz the Cat scared the shitting hell out of me when I was a kid. He was always malfunctioning! Scary...

L&K has to be one of THE best Saturday morning shows ever. Plus, it wins bonus points because it's so *very* 90s! lol

[XxLikkleLisaxX]

OMG I remember this with Zoe Ball and Jamie what his face the them wenrt like that in the late 90s

[loopylouie101]

I remember this! It ended when I was 8.

[tekkenfan26]

oh how i miss live and kicking i do like TMI but it is nothing compared to live and kicking

[jinjukazooie]

I LOVE Andy Peters!!

[rossrobert]

Fair enough they do make Saturday morning tv for kids...but it is awfull and dumbed down!

Going Live and Live and Kicking were more family viewing with guests like Vic and Bob and proper bands that wern't just Mccfly.

I wish stuff like this was still on! Bring it back! They kids are missing out! Also bring back Top Of The Pops!

[darrenkent3000]

I totally agree. Live & Kicking should be back, but sadly the BBC says that it will never be back :( I have been sad about it from the day they stopped it.

Emma Forbes, Andi Peters, Zoe Ball and Jamie Theakston - best presenters ever. Man I wish it was 1995 again *cries*.

[beccijayne]

what year was this?

[putthetellyon]

2nd October 1993

[liquidsnake125]

Those were the days, but that fucking John Barrowman is every where. Every time I switch on the tv, his there, every time I read a magaznine, his there and often when I view a video on Youtube, that cunt also pops up there as well. His every fucking where.

[darrenkent3000]

Yeah I hate the cunt too, John Barrowman is a cock sucking tosser!

[themadscotsman28]

thanks for posting! theres no such thing as childres saturday morning TV anymore, pretty sad that kids in the future wont have memories of their childhood like this as we do!

[jsam93]

If their is no such thing as Saturday morning kids tv these days then tell me what tmi and swap shop are and soccer am on sky 1 is kids tv on occasions

[darrenkent3000]

You're a prick. Those aren't real kids shows, they are shit compared to L&K. They all end up having the same celebs on the show every week. Cheap production and shit presenters now.

[jsam93]

If you bothered to watch them youd know that they dont have the same guests on ever week and are highly produced. You obviously have no idea how much one episode of TMi or Soccer AM costs. And Andy Goldstein, Helen Chamberlain, Sam Nixon, Mark Rhodes, Caroline Flack, Barney Harwood and Melvin O'doom are all brilliant presenters

[darrenkent3000]

WHO?

I've never even heard of any of them presenters lol, just goes to show that TMI or Soccer AM hires shite presenters.

Live & Kicking was the only Saturday morning kids show that had the whole family watching. It's the only show that is more suited for all ages.

Plus the BBC (Live & Kicking) was a real star in giving something back to the kids - they gave away more prizes and even pay the kids to go to the BBC in London to meet thier favourite celebs!

Other kids shows are shite.

[jsam93]

You must have had your head stuck in the sand for quite a few years now if youve never heard of Helen Chamberlain or Sam and Mark

[darrenkent3000]

OK, I know Sam & Mark, well actually no, I didn't know thier names but I do recognize them both.

But, lets be honest, even THEY aren't exactly a big hit. Ant & Dec are, but even then, the actual show was pretty boring.

Then there's crappy cartoons and not to mention commercial breaks every fucking 10-15 minutes!!

ESPECIALLY ONES WE'VE SEEN OVER AND OVER AND OVER (i think you get the point here).

BBC Live & Kicking is still the best (officially - thier ratings have never been beaten)

[phlatball96]

Yeah I think TMi is great! What do you mean there is no such thing as Saturday Morning Kids TV?

[darrenkent3000]

Yeah, i'm pissed off about it too. Live & Kicking was the best ever. Even the BBC said so, and that even today Live & Kicking was still the most watched Saturday morning childrens tv show yes the cunts at the BBC took it off air.

Wankers! The person who decided it should be taken off air should be shot.

[GemWhiteman]

wow! thank you. it's funny cause i would never have remembered that theme tune, but i could just sing along, and remembered every bit of the film. Thanks so much for this :o)

[jsam93]

They do make Saturday morning tv like this still. Have you seen tmi-its live and kickings natyral successor

[Dustybin321]

Look at John Barrowman, doesn't he look young?

[everyone06]

I use to watch it till SMTV live first started in 1998.

[haylis82]

used to love watching live & kicking..... they don't make saturday tv like this anymore! Used to watch every week!

[SPAG22]

Best theme tune ever.

[Koll]

lol @ the cat

[slypie24]

used to love this show!!!

[mel8592]

OH MY GOD!! Live & Kicking!! Whayyy i used to love it with Zoe Ball & Jamie Theakston, after that it went a bit dfown hill!

[chappelle87]

lol yeh, went a bit downhill and started posting messages on youtube :P

[shaunswain]

oh god my childhood on screen.

i remember being so young when that was on and now i feel so bloody old!!!

[Ryz0r]

Ah, nostalgia.. SM:TV Live was superior however :P

[xfactorfan2007]

Live and Kicking was good, but after a while I got bored of it and switched to SM:TV Live lol

[purplebarnet87]

jeeeeeeeus this takes me back :) i love it and miss it so xx

[alliurvoiceiskilling]

OMG  i forgot barrowman was in this ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i love that man!!!!!!!

[UpTheIron2007]
