This nostalgic montage of Live & Kicking ‘hot seats’ includes a very young Daniel Radcliffe – plus some cheeky questions

The weekly children’s show Live & Kicking aired on BBC One on Saturdays from 1993 to 2001.

It featured presenters who went on to become household names, including Zoe Ball and Jamie Theakston and guest stars such as The Spice Girls, who appeared several times.

In honour of the 30th anniversary of the first episode, BBC Archive shared a few snippets from the very popular Hot Seat segment, in which children could ask questions of celebrity guests.

It’s TV history.

That Jarvis Cocker question and answer couldn’t have been any better if it had been scripted.

Here are a few favourite reactions to the post.
