Trevor and Simon

Because I was like, "The, the items need to breathe," and he was passionate, pushing it.

He did Trev and Simon.

He came from the BBC, and he did it.

I was like, "No, this is not how it's gonna work.

Do you know why I know that? No.

It was in a Trevor and Simon sketch on Going Live about 40 years ago, where one of them was pretending to be Jimmy Savile.

And he kept saying, wow, look at all these Dwayne Eddies.

Was that the first time you've heard of Dwayne Eddie, do you think? Probably, yeah.

Live & Kicking had started on, uh, BBC One, uh, just four days earlier on the 2nd of October, taking over from Going Live.

Andy Peters, Emma Forbes, and John Barrowman were the hosts, with Trevor and Simon doing the comedy, and it went head-to-head, um, with, you know, What's Up Doc? on ITV.

Four days old and already the thing every kid was arguing about at school, Lee, because, uh, Going Live was a tough act to follow.

Andy Peters had been a big name since his days in the broom cupboard on Children's BBC, so plenty of people tuned in just for him.

So how long's it been?

It's the 30th anniversary this week of Jamie and I's first ever appearance on Live & Kicking with Mr. Blobby, Trev and Simon, and the Leprechauns and our amazing crew.

We're having a get-together tonight.

I mean, I haven't seen Jamie for years.

Standout memories then.

Apart, apart from those names, were there any things that, that went wrong or that you just remember being absolutely brilliant?

They would be corpsing because Trevor and Simon w- would make us, like, corpse laughing.

The Leprechauns, Jamie being battered to the floor by Mr. Blobby every week.

Who was the guys that did Sky Sports football?

Trevor and Simon.

Trevor.

[laughs] They got told off for doing locker room banter that time.
