Live & Kicking on 9 December 1995, Phillip Schofield is a guest that morning.
He's already tried to sing a song from Joseph, but got interrupted by The Singing Corner, so will second attempt result in a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?!

Live & Kicking from 18 October 1997 which does seem like 'A Long Time Ago'.
Here are Zoe, Jamie and Mitch with a Star Wars inspired opening in which they manage to 'blur the boundaries between traditionally accepted sexual roles' in their own unique way...

We threatened, sorry mentioned earlier, that we'd post Saturday SuperStore's 'Two Left Feet'... all we can say is we're very sorry, but it just had to be done.

From 1981, here's the music act from the Swap Shop Star Awards, none other than Brown Sauce.
Written by Noel and B.A. Robertson, this would go on to reach No. 15 in the Top 40!
The cultural references are rather dated now, but still a good song!

Here's a clean version of the Live & Kicking theme (no sound effects!) overlayed on the best version of the titles we have (with the original Television Centre logo).
The credits version was a little longer, and that will follow later...

The closing theme for Going Live! was different to opening theme unlike other Saturday programmes.
Here are the credits from 9 January 1988 with a clean version of the theme overlayed. We've included a little of the post broadcast footage as a bonus.
