Andi Peters leaves Live and Kicking

Andi Peters left L&K in April 1996 to join LWT. Here is his turn in the "hot seat", followed by a song-and-dance farewell to Mr Showbiz and his infamous (and oft-repeated) farewell.
Look out for Andi correctly predicting he'd return to the BBC one day (which he did in 2003 to helm TOTP)...also brief appearances by his successor Zoe Ball and Ant and Dec, who would eventually kill off L&K!

the 90s was the best era for television ever

[@pauldavies152]

It really was. Growing up during the 90s was fantastic. You dont appreciate it at the time. TV these days lacks imagination.

[@pauldavies152]

Loved andi Peters- live and kicking was a great show. Tbh there are so many shows of a high quality standard to mention in the 90s. There are far too many channels these days and not enough programmes to fill them, so the quality has diminished.

[@Claudefather]

I'm 40yrs old now and I've forgotten many things in my life but I still remember watching Andi Peters last episode of Live & Kicking 😂

[@TheChurchHistoryChannel]

I remember watching this! I have thought about it now and again over the years. Andi Peters crying as he left Live & Kickin' always stuck in my memory.

[@comicbossone2411]

Mine too

[@davidmclean6264]

We only had terrestrial in my house and I remember desperately wanting all those cable/Sky channels. How wrong I was. There might have only been 4 channels to choose from, but the quality of programming was outstanding. Sad that we've lost that.

andy peters ... legend for every kid of the 90s...cant believe there are kids out there now who dont this ...feel old...

[@peacefrog1916]

i used to love this program. Andi, what a legend.

Ant & Dec plotting their domination of Saturday tv back in 1996.

[@rajnirvan3336]

And little did some of us know that Emma would also leave

[@neilogden]

I'm not sure Emma with someone else would have felt right for her or us the viewer. They werre such a strong partnership.

[@rajnirvan3336]

@@neilogden I suppose too. Like you said their partnership was awesome

[@TheFluffenhammer]

Man. I remember this. So many memories wrapped up in this show/year

[@Amp1771]

It was only 3 years; man, he really gets touchy.

[@ConnecticutsBest]

I think I remember watching this live, oh that was way sad. Josie derby was there too

[@koksy]

Ahhhhhhhhh bless!

[@NicNicLovesCats]

Hi i want to know if there is any vhs tapes of ant and dec in Live and Kicking. Because I want to see them. (I want the ones where anthony mcpartlin has the spikey hair.)

[@JB1601]

She did, but she didn't find out she was pregnant till after the series ended and decided to leave too.

[@MrTinypinhead]

very true

[@DopeteK]

Imagine a shoe like this today. The would only be two English children in the studio and probably both girls. Take a look at any class in any London school if you doubt my comment.

@GeminiSpaceship Pepsi isn't a drink and a band, it's Oasis, as sb477sb477 pointed out... 5 months ago.

He moved onto bigger and better things. Introducing the competitions on Good Morning Britain.

[@borgduck]

Is this the one where they are all crying?

[@wormcultist6637]

Yeah because I'm sure your the only person who ever recorded this ;)

[@ross8474]

What dose he do these days .As he seems to only giveaway things away

[@Ma21L]

these kids on this show must be in there late 30's by now... lol

[@TheChurchHistoryChannel]

ma21l I was 13 when this aired and I'm only 35 now. Your comment is five years old. I was only 30 when you posted it.

[@clivesangster7274]

Has he come out of the closet yet?

[@cupcakefairy87]

After Philip Schofield, he's my next bet to come out.

[@jeevanjohal6880]

Jif

[@cupcakefairy87]

I recall watching this back in the day. Cringe worthy when you look at it now.

[@ephebofreedomfighter8698]

what a bummer. (double entendre)

[@lovemykiss9]

8:15 how ironic that Ant and Dec appear, given that a few years later, their own Saturday morning show would practically kill off L&K.
