Aired 2nd October 1993 to 15th September 2001 Live & Kicking was a BBC children's magazine program, running from 1993 to 2001.[1] It was the replacement for Going Live!, and took many of its features from it, such as phone-ins, games, comedy, competitions, and the showing of cartoons. Once Live & Kicking had become established in series two, it reached its height in popularity during series four, when it was presented by Zoe Ball and Jamie Theakston; their final edition won a BAFTA award. After this, the program's ratings dropped with the launch of SMTV Live on ITV and the show came to an end in 2001.
