John Barrowman cute and young in 1993

[chiccag2]

He looks exactly the same! He was 26 at the time I think, he's 44 now!

[MusicNote2009]

I wasn't even born ahaha! This dude's amazing!

[spacered]

I Remember this When I was a Young I use to Watch Live and Kicking in UK Before play Captain Jack from Doctor who and Torchwood.

[Donnaalex1993]

im here for john but all i can stare at is the atmosfear board game i used to have that!!

[1982aaron]

why is it whatever he does, the show has to revolve around him???

[Serenity113]

Oh my god the ending was hilarious! LMAO

[reevesdamn]

What would he be, in his 20s?

[pitabread12]

his voice is still the same!!! so cuteee~

[CardCaptorDeadpool]

are they all ghey??????

[LovesBoyGeorge]

"see I told you I needed to be protected…I'm gonna get him!!…argggh"

Is this really a kids show??

[hoodiesarah]

does he have a pony tale!? it looked lik it

[sweetmary116]

was John ever in a teen sitcom, like Sweet Valley High, Clueless, or anything?

[billyh88uk]

@zetaro128 Gary Lineker was a really, really famous football player in the late 80s/early 90s - pretty much every kid in the country would know who he was.

It's making me feel really really old that half of the commentators weren't born when this was shown, and I'm only 22 :/ This was my fave show as a kid!!

[Iloveorliandwicked]

Whoooaahhh!!! BARROWMAN is the INTERVIEWER??? He's supposed to be the INTERVIEWED PERSON!

[riverh8er]

Just what the hell do you MEAN cute and young in 1993??? He's STILL CUTE... and HE'S STILL YOUNG ENOUGH! And frankly, if you weren't crazy about him, you wouldn't have posted this vid!!

[Anglaiserocker13]

Why does no one else find that f*cking HILARIOUS?

"See, I told you I needed to be protected" LMFAO!!!

[zetaro128]

I'm a little confused. Isn't this supposed to be a children's show? How come they had a rather serious interview with some football player who most kids wouldn't even recognize? This doesn't seem to look like a very professional show (despite Jack Harkness).

[SimplyPlanned]

I think thats the best idea, to use protection...

BARROWMAN! *fist shake*

[huwfylt]

O.o

so many vests...

[clubpenguinsecrets1]

Ah. Poor Ratz, he was stuck outside in the cold. (They could have let him in, he promised that he would not mess around with the decorations.)

[friendofthejawas]

I love this guy

I wasnt britain at this time but i wish i was so could watch the lovely and absolutley gorgerous John Barrowman

[jezathelonelyangel10]

ok at one oint i wanna no where he put his hand and why did he grab those cookies (i think) barrowman grr... lol

OMG!! THEY SAID THE WIGGLES 0.O

john looks so funy when hes in tht suit thing or gear

hahahhaha!!! he tackled him into the tree!!! rofl!!! i luv how he goes back after him!!!! rofl!! this is when the fangirl in my screams

omg is this a kids show???!!! lol

[Kerriangel]

@jezathelonelyangel10 yeah it was a Saturday morning show back in the 1990's

[SCOTTISHSOULANDHEART]

JB is so cute in this!

[Pettetje]

omfg

[gernumblies]

Wow, Take That the first time round, phone numbers had 10 digits, and the time before Lineker made his money solely from advertising crisps! I miss the 90s.

[beckah0166]

I know right! Proper trip down memory lane ^^

[lulabell0]

mr blobby!!! I havn't seen him since god knows when!

[tobie1]

6:12

[queenastilon]

It's also funny to think that John Barrowman had already appeared completely naked on stage earlier that same year, in a play with Alexis Denisof, who he said is a very good kisser (they played a gay couple), and Anthony Head (a gay poet), which is when he and Scott Gill first met

[JoRRRRRRRRRRRRRR]

what was the play

[beckah0166]

Wow, he doesnt seem old enough to be grown up ish when I was only 2! But I realise how old this must be, Take That last time they were famous and Linnekar when he was known for playing football not owning bars.

This made me smile I've never seen old footage of JB. Thanks for sharing :D

[JoRRRRRRRRRRRRRR]

wow i love him but at this time i wasnt even born

[fantasylover42]

me neither lol.

[sweetmary116]

@JoRRRRRRRRRRRRRR hw\e was cute in the 90's, hot in the 2000's. and sexy in 2010

[lulabell0]

he's 42

[gegamelroks]

That vest shouldn't be worn by anyone... but he makes it cute! Christmas 1993. I don't know where I was, because I was in my mum's tummy.

[Caspyfan]

Am I the only one who feels like children's tv personalities shouldn't be so hottt?

[Kerriangel]

*Harry Hill impression*

Now I like Captian jack harkness but I also like Mr Blobby. But which is better? There's only one way to find out....

FIGHT!!!!

seriously if that was in Torchwood, it

would be immese!!!

[queenastilon]

@Kerriangel, that sounds like a good idea for next year's Children In Need, or even Comic Relief. You should write to them. Seriously!

It could be recorded anytime, and anyone, any stunt man could play Blobby; easy to fit into JB's schedule.

[Kerriangel]

@queenastilon more like any fangirl. if you gave anhy of themt he chance theyd go for it and try n jump his bones!!!

[queenastilon]

I mean it, Kerri, write to Harry Hill's agent and JB's agent (contact details on their websites) and suggest it!! I'd do it myself but it's your idea, not mine :)

They could even introduce it with the footage from this vid. "Remember Cap'n Jack's hunble beginnings!" or something.

[lulabell0]

i know i would.

[bbyriceball101]

Omg. <3

[Slight22]

hahaha 3:54 .... just too good a moment in the background there (naughty!)

[jordanmcpartland]

I wasnt even born.. january 1994. u could say i was in my mums belly when this was aired. :L

[TheLastLoneWolf]

I was one and a half, wow XD This is sooo old!

[TorchyJ]

I love his squeal when Blobby hits him xD

[reelynwar]

I was 12 and used to dress like that. In fact ... I think I used to have that exact outfit ...

[Kerriangel]

Christmas 1993, I was still in my mum's stomach at the time!!!!

[Steffied]

I was three years old in 1993. Didn't even speak English yet.

[tvfan1973]

Mr Blobby... where has the time gone!

This is so weird to watch again

[appleXinkling]

Lol at the end! Mr Blobby seeeeeeriously freaked me out as a child... still does...

[AnoukvdS]

I was one year old in 1993 :O

[iamthestarlight001]

hahahahha i'm in tear i was born that year he look so young!!! bless him i'm slightly scared that fashion as so bad

[10472112LEE]

Yep all of the above!

[toffeeXxXxX]

i was born in this this year!

[funkfanatic]

me too!

[dalekdalekdalek]

wow i wouldnae even b born yet lol

[satine188]

so young♥ i was 1 xD

[knails]

Nooooooooo not Hasselhoff!!!!!

[doris0006]

its hoff man nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooo go john go!!!!!!!!!!

[doris0006]

lol @ his voice :)

[AngelicMouseGirl]

lol, the part at the end where he gets attacked, is hilarious...I love it! ^_^

[kate22uk]

Oh wow!!! Loved Live and Kicking...and John - I must have been to see him in Sunset Blvd about the same time too :-D

The man's a legend...

[Kerriangel]

lmao at the start with his Posh british voice.

love him!

[Avampiresslave]

he's so cute!

[TwilightBellaForever]

I was 2!

[MissyR1972]

How old do i feel then. This was 1 year before i got married! And no, i hav'nt aged as good as JB. Tsk!

[AngelTheLonely]

OMG this is 4 years before i was born and john looks exacly the same

[clazluvsdolphins]

omg thats sukie socket!!! hahaha

[jonnythemooseman]

I was watching L&K in '93... probably explains a lot...

[0LizzyBennet0]

I'm having serious doubts. I think John Barrowman is actually played by Jack Harkness...the man doesn't age!!

[StarringHilary]

lol i was only 6 months old then. :(

[iHeartTen]

lucky, I didn't even exsit yet!!

[KiMbErLeY02]

I love the Mr Blobby wrestling! He doesn't look very different does he? And since everyone else is doing it - this was about a week before my first birthday!

[ilovetrl]

John Barrowman would probably feel very old if he read all these comments...I was three, I was four, I wasn't even born yet, this was three years before I was born. He still doesn't look too much older than he did fifteen years ago, does he?

[glamagirl45]

omg he's aging well

[Kerriangel]

I told you Im gonna need protection! Im gonna get him!!!"

classic. he actually doesnt look older. Whats with that? Rift energy???

John got raped by Mr Blobby!!!!!

[Kerriangel]

this was 4 months before i was born.

but Live and Kicking was awesome. i remember watching it when i was lyk 5!!!

[JohnBarrowmanXX]

I love John Barrowman and Andi Peters! Although i think that John has definitely got better with age! Shorter hair is much better

[blablakidz]

3 years before i was born EXACTLY! (well kinda...) if this was at Christmas, and i was born on New Years Day, then that means that this program was on 3 years and a week before i was born! wow... i have never typed this much about one thing ever.

[CrnchyBnn]

He hasn't seemed to age! But his fashion sense has got better!

[MissxPurplexRose]

is it me or does he cinda look and sound a bit like micheal jackson ?

ether way he so sexy and yet i wasnt even born yet! x x x

[RammsteinTorchwood]

OMG!

I was 3 at the time!

[eleanoraliceshields]

i was 4 then, and i remember this wow john looks so young and still so handsome

[TARTANCAM]

lol john knocked mr blobby over

[RaNiss4115]

OMF!!!

he looks so young, and he is unbelievablly cute!

that was so long agoo, I wasn't even born yet! jajaj

[shellycoat]

I stopped watching this show after John got phased out!

[resulted]

OMG i remember this, even the theme tunes....... ahhhh i feel old.

[kirstydiddlyworsty]

Blobby, oh Mr Blobby, if only you could make us understand

Blobby, oh Mr Blobby, your influence will spread throughout the land

Let's hear it for Mr Blobby

(Blobby, blobby, blobby)

[1gallifrey1]

I Loved when M.r Blobby tackled John! Ha Ha Ha ha! ( I was only 3!) wish I remembered it.

[rockisticrocker]

20p!!! thats well cheap!!!

[TwilightBellaForever]

compared to phone prices now they are

[Francis2061]

if i remember right Mr Blobby actually went back to number 1 and knocked take that off the top - correct me if i'm wrong.

[Francis2061]

081-811-81-81! i love how they used to sing the phone number. I remember watching this as a kid. I'd forgotten that it was John on it though i remember Andi peters and Emma Forbes. Lol those were the days.

[FunnyBlueBox]

omg i was just born !!!!

[rachluvsvanillabella]

omg i wasnt even born lol

[VrtyBrtn]

Hahaha, John was even fixated with food back in the day...

I was two when he was on this, so I didn't watch it then. But Mr. Blobby still scares me sh~tless. XD

[TwilightBellaForever]

OMG same here, but weird thing is, i could sit there and watch him tackle John (and get tackled back) all day lol

[34839ld]

Wow. Waistcoats.

[sophiestar93]

lol OMG i was like 4 months old ! ! !

i didnt know john barrowman knew mr blobby ! ! !

[LadyEmilyElizabeth]

No wonder I loved watching this show so much! XD

[qaffangyrl]

wtf!?! LOL!!! that was hilarious! god...i can't imagine john being able to control himself on live telly!

[Jinx903]

OMG I was 5 then, I used to watch live and kicking all the time I never realised he did it, it's ot on anymore is it?

[krispe99]

:o guessing this was around Christmas time I would have been about a week old!!!I wouldnt have had an idea who john barrowman was and now hes my fave singer and actor!

[ShimmeryingBlood]

:D He's great isant he. Plus he's sexyful..

[krispe99]

[RockxChickx666]

I was 5 years old in 1993 lol

Can't remember John Barrowman on live and kicking!!

I remember Zoe ball when I was like 7 though.... I appeared on this show once lol. Our primary school teacher appeared in a play and came to our school and filmed us singing! haha

Good times :)

xxxxxxxx

[HarrietTennant]

phone in for only 20p omfg that seems forever ago now its like max call charge £20 LOL

[annabean1986]

I think its sorta cool that John started off as a quasi-journalist (doing interviews and stuff...)

[GIANTclaaam]

Mr Blobby is so creepy - why do kids like him?

John's hair reminds me of David Tennant's in Taking ove the Asylum!

I love the way he keeps stuffing marshmallows in that guys face!

[diamondstargazer1990]

*squeaks and nineties hair*

I remember him presenting kids tv. Love love.

[HarrietTennant]

same i was only a few years old but i still remember this! John was my favourite - then he left :(

[XxyouliedanywayxX]

[bubblesnboot]

OMH MY JESUS JOHN IS SO COOL HERE OMG AWESOEM AS lol go john!!

[ProfessionalHobbit]

Wow, by the time I was old enough to watch Live and Kicking it did NOT look like this! xD The presenters behave a lot more like semi-normal adults then ones today do, who basically act like nine year-olds on speed... Who can't blame Mr Blobby for not being able to keep his hands off John =) Just to be really creepy for a second xDDD

[SquidgetAndFlobber]

haha lol

[elanor12]

omg! Mr. Blobby litterally jump on John! that is so hilarious!

[xxxSuperstarChloexxx]

MY god i remember watching this as a kid!!!!

[WannaBBillie]

lol i was born in '93 though there's a 99.9% chance i wasn't born when this aired

[CapriceK]

well, were you born at christmas?

[WannaBBillie]

31st December 1993- lol

[CrazyRhianne]

cor a bit of john and blobby love going on there at the end!! lol

[cheekybut4u]

Lol. Love it. I love Mr Blobby.

John is so fit. I wqas born in 93! Whoo. Go 93! I love when Blobby pushs John over and John pushes him back. ROFL.

[hhhateu]

WTF? what the hell show is this? it's just weird and creepy! John is cute here, but not as much and tyhat hair style doesn't suit him.....

[CrazyRhianne]

its live AND KICKING an old like kids tv show!

[xxxSuperstarChloexxx]

this was the early 90s when everyone looked like that!

[rockclaudiagb]

haha!!! lol! i luv the bit with Mr Blobby!

does any one have the bit where he actully get Mr Blobby 2 the ground? - like the nxt bit?

[oywidapoodles]

I didn't eve recognize him at the beginning with the weirdo accent and video quality. He looks kinda like Harry Connick Jr. here, lol!

Love the marshmallow!

[SonicWhistleKahl]

ooh oooh! there's FIVE!! pick me!! i know! now let me on the show with JB! xDD

[shutterflie]

I adore his vest with a passion. :) And his hair. And his little fake British accent.

...I'm having problems breathing right now. His cuteness is overwhelming.

[Purdy123abc]

What was that accent??!?! haha!! Oh, he is cuter now..

[thicketwings05]

hahaha

lol

poor john

mr blobby scares me!!!

hes cute now aswell u know!!

[Sharingonsandninja]

[iamthestarlight001]

[broadwaybabe147]

[princesske]

[belletaylor303]

OMG, this was the year i was born! Woweee he looks so young and different!!

[1livi1rox]

wot du mean cute and young

hes still cute even tho hes older now!

[tardiscrew666]

exactly, infact i think hes cuter now then he used to be! :)))

[1livi1rox]

totaly agree

lol

[queenastilon]

Well, around the same time as this - 1993 - theatre critics strongly disagreed with you on that score; JB, Alexis Denisof and Anthony Head received rave reviews in the play they did together that year.

I knew there had to be a Buffy connection somewhere, and there it is.

[sommersprechen]

yeah, i think my comment was misconstrued - i meant the english accent he does here, not his stage work. sorry!

[dobby27uk]

OH MY GOD ... I remember this airing ... I feel old. Worse still, I got up every Saturday morning to watch this.

[Rainstarhasastick]

So today he's 41... here, that would make him... gawd, a little over 20?

He looks almost exactly the same. >.O

[harrytropss]

if he's 41 now, 15 years ago he would have been 26...

[FlyingAstrid]

One of England's best football players; Gary Linnekar. That's going back a bit :P

[torchwoodlass193]

lmao!Mr blobby just coped him lol!!

I used 2 love Mr Blobby when i was wee.

Cnt remeber him very well cause i was like 4 or 5 last time i saw him and i was only 2 months old when this ep was on but i still memeber mr blobby

[RizMil]

Hahahaha.. from THIS to Torchwood? Love John Barrowman!

[andremp03]

LMAO!! Mr Bobby vs John Barrowman

[TorchyTD]

Aww did you hear John's little scream at the end? I think it's because the twat in the Blobby outfit had him round the face/neck and John HATES being touched on his face.

[Grorange]

Unless it's by Gareth David-Lloyd of course.. XD

(That's Ianto Jones.. Form TORCHWOOD. LOL)

[TorchyTD]

I know hehe *bigfan*

[timelady1994]

yeah it says so in his autobiography ( which is amazin)but when he is acting he kinda leaves that thing behind, Thank god or we would probably not c Him as Jack n Gareth as Ianto kissing *drools*

[Northwestlondoner]

How do I not remember him being on Live and Kicking? I would have been mid teens.

[nptorchwood]

I was 1 when this was on tv!!! But i remember having Mr Blobbys album! I still know the words! :P

And now Blobby and John fight?! my god if my younger self now ever saw this i think id wet myself!

[happylittleweevil]

i love the way John just launches himself at Mr Blobby- he had it coming! XD

Cant believe how cute he is here, wish i could remember this cuz i know i used to watch L&K at that time

[AtenRa]

Good gawd does this man ever age?!

[emsy2007]

[SoFeTcHtaSTiC]
