"Live & Kicking" was a weekly magazine show broadcast every Saturday morning, normally from September to April and later all year for the final series, and it was aimed at young people. It featured music performances, "hot seat" questions for celebrity guests, phone-ins, games, comedy sketches, competitions, and television programmes and cartoons. It used the taglines "Miss it, miss out" and "The only way to start your weekend" on promotional adverts for the show. As well as the main presenters, there were regulars such as comedy duo Trevor and Simon, and later Ben, Gez and Rich from The Cheese Shop and SuperGirly. A segment in the first few series that was an adaptation of "Going Live's" "Double Dare" was "Run the Risk", a game in which teams of children completed various obstacle courses and challenges. Gunge was often included to make the tasks harder. "Run The Risk" was later broadcast separately. From 1994 until 2000, there was a showbiz segment called the "Electric Circus", which featured the latest films, music, computer games and gossip. It was first presented by John Barrowman after he stepped aside as a regular presenter, and was later hosted by a variety of people.
