I was 7 and a half years old when this aired, but I can still remember watching this so well. I loved Children's BBC back then. It is now a shadow of its former self in 2025, on the verge of possible closure.
I believe the channel's closing, but I'm not sure I agree with "shadow of its former self." Ostensibly, the content is outstanding, but it wouldn't appeal to 38 and 32 year olds like you and me for obvious reasons.
This is such an ambitious programme - so much stuff going on in one studio absolutely live. Kids tv really was on fire at this stage - ideas, budget and talent.
It's really interesting to see some stars of CITV from the 80's and 90's come together in some of their first or only appearances on the BBC including Carol Lee Scott (Grotbags) and Neil Buchanan (Art Attack and Zzzap)!
Yes, apparently Steps' "It's The Way You Make Me Feel" is blocked in all territories (that's probably a blessing in disguise!) It'll be back shortly, all being well.

The section at 1:05:38 seems to be missing a punchline. It seems they were too keen to go to Newsround.
Neil Buchanan and Tony Hart in the same studio!
Where would we get something like the song at 1:01:40 now?
Fortunately nowhere because its shit!
Andi Peters keeping it real - top showbiz celebrities well i was rather hoping to see Bruce Willis or George Clooney..
You're saying Peter Simon ISN'T?!
@tenpasttwelve8931 he was in Godfather 2 & Pulp Fiction! 😂
Do you have the second part? After Grange Hill? Thanks
If I did, I'd have uploaded that as well.
Your video of Live & Kicking gunge day is currently blocked, you might want to edit out the songs and music videos if you want it to be unblocked
