Let's start our 50th anniversary celebrations, by going back to 1 January 1994.
In the pre-recorded edition of Live & Kicking, there was music, Run the Risk and Andi, Emma and John were trying to work out 'The Secret of Burgh Island'.

As it's Saturday we thought we'd post a little bonus for interest.
Here are the two and a bit minutes of pre-programme studio activity from the 1993 Christmas Day edition of L&K that are on the recording.
The audio mutes for about 50 seconds before broadcast.

A nice play on MIMO from series 6 with the 'Mistletoe Miss Out' sting which...

Sorry, we seem to be suffering some interference from a prior year's Christmas broadcast.

Hopefully things will sort themselves out by tomorrow morning... 🎄🎅

Just how ridiculously shiny is this holographic Saturday SuperStore sticker? Very, and very rare too to find an unused one!

Saturday Mash-Up! finished its 8th series today (20/12/2025) and it's been 3,003 days since its first programme.

That beats L&K by 98 days, although around 40 fewer programmes have been broadcast.

Will we get a record 9th series for the 50th anniversary year?

A 1995 visit to Roberts Records where news of the pending Christmas number 1 puts Richard and Roger in a very non-festive mood.

Will their own 'A Christmas Carol' experience, with visions of the past and 'futur', change their feelings?

I spent my childhood watching PeeWee’s Playhouse. If you know you know and if you don’t… well watch an episode and you’ll get me.

Seven L&K Christmas title variants accompanied by the Christmas version of the original theme.

The version of the titles used wasn't always aligned with the then current TV Centre signage! All explained in our L&K Titles guide.
