The New Show
In 2001, it was announced Live & Kicking would be axed after eight series. Instead, a brand new show fronted by Dani Behr and Joe Mace would air. It would be a radical departure from standard and conventional Saturday Morning TV. The new show was billed to be tough competition for SMTV. The show was confined to the studio. The studio wasn't a traditional studio, it was based on tiered seating and 3 stages at the bottom, one with a presenters couch, one for performances and one for The Saturday Show house band, Stamford Amp. The show included a series of different karaokes. Including Sugababes week. This allowed the children to sing along to the official instrumentals. The show also featured a puppet duo, "Tiny and Mr Duk" performed by Dave Chapman and Damian Farrell. Stamford Amp also had a top 40 hit single in the UK when "Anything For You" charted at #33.
