We came across a clean copy of the end montage from the 100th edition of Live & Kicking so though it might be fun to overlay it on the original broadcast.

It's the detail that matters...
Most of our 50 years logo uses our house font 'Monserrat' but the 1976-2026 block uses two very appropriate fonts.
1976 is in 'Futura' which was used by Swap Shop and 2026 is in 'BorisBlackBloxx' which is used by Saturday Mash-Up!

Here are the two and a bit minutes of pre-programme studio activity from the 1993 Christmas Day edition of L&K that are on the recording.
The audio mutes for about 50 seconds before broadcast.
