I admit I wasnt watching L&K after 1997 (naive I know)...Spider-Man had ended and there just wasnt a "BIG" draw for the kids after that...but it was still depending much more on the quality segments and sketch work. Eccelston leaving also played a part. What L&K needed was the X-Men...which had finally begun airing new stuff on Fully Booked the next day. A shame the golden age fizzled out the way it did without a strong Marvel 'toon.

Fully Booked and L&K never aired at the same time - FB was 22 weeks over the summer, L&K 30 weeks throughout the winter months.

It's the instrumental of Alda - Real Good Time.

That's a classic 1998 Saturday morning opener right there! Where did those days go?! Things are just too blooming miserable these days!

Boyzone, All saints, the rugrats, Kenan and Kel, B*witched. I think 1:35 sums up how it is now. 'It's not like the old days'.

[Hauntedman1]

Wonder why the BBC decided to end morning Tv hmmmm maybe because kids stay in bed till 12:00 midday now or piss off out in their gangs to smash shit up. Such a miserable age we live in..

[cathy168]

I just shed a tear due to the substantial amount of nostalgia in this video.

I had such a crush on Zoe Ball at that time- she looks so hot and feisty in this clip! It was worth getting up on a Saturday morning just for her!
