Sitting in the Hot Seat in a stripy jumper years before he was famous, the little boy asks the Chuckle Brothers what they would have done had they not become comedians. 

'I would have loved to have been a professional footballer', Barry Chuckle tells the young Danielle Radcliffe, before his brother bursts his bubble by telling him he would have been 'rubbish'.

The trio were among the famous faces who appeared on BBC children's Saturday show Live and Kicking, which celebrates its 30th anniversary today. 

A clip showing big names and some less well-known figures on the show in the 1990s was shared by the BBC on Twitter to mark the milestone.

Live and Kicking's presenters included Andi Peters , Katy Hill, Zoe Ball (above), Jamie Theakston , John Barrowman and Emma Forbes 

The boy in the striped jumper was of course future Daniel Radcliffe. 

He featured in the show in 1998, two years before he shot to fame as Harry Potter in the first of eight films. 

Radcliffe was also set to feature in the TV adaptation of Charles Dickens's David Copperfield.   

Live and Kicking's presenters included Andi Peters, Katy Hill, Zoe Ball, Jamie Theakston, John Barrowman and Emma Forbes

Ball, who was on the show from 1996 until 1999, is seen in the compilation clip wearing a top with a leopard print collar.   

Live and Kicking was the leading Saturday morning programme for children for most of the 1990s and ultimately ran until 2001. 

The format included the the Hot Seat segment, which allowed members of the audience or other children on the phones to ask celebrity guests a question.

Another familiar face in the clip shared by the BBC is Jarvis Cocker, the former front man of British band Pulp 

As for TV stars, Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly (pictured) are seen on the programme when their double act was still relatively new 

Others in the clip include Spice Girls members Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, Mel B and Mel C when they were at the height of their fame

Another familiar face in the clip shared by the BBC is Jarvis Cocker, the former front man of British band Pulp.

He is seen being asked by a young audience member: 'You've released one single in two years, what have you been doing in between?'

The musician then jokes: 'You sound like our manager'. 

Others in the clip include Spice Girls members Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, Mel B and Mel C when they were at the height of their fame.

As for TV stars, Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly are seen on the programme when their double act was still relatively new.

Live and Kicking was axed by the BBC after ratings slipped in the face of fierce competition from ITV rivals SM:TV Live.

The show followed in the footsteps of Multi-Coloured Swap Shop, Saturday Superstore and Going Live.

Robson Green and Jerome Flynn had success with their duo Robson & Jerome. Above: They are seen being asked about their single Unchained Melody, which was released in 1995

At its peak in 1996 it had 2.5million viewers but its audience had almost halved by the time it was axed. 

Katy Hill went on to marry and have two children with fellow Live & Kicking presenter Trey Farley. 

Shortly after the show ended, Theakton lashed out at the production, calling it 'rubbish'.

He told Heat Magazine: 'If you watch the tapes back now you'd realise how juvenile it all was.

'When me and Zoe did Live And Kicking most of the show was terrible editorially. It was rubbish.

'I think when we went they still carried on trying to do the same old stuff and all of a sudden it was like "this is really rubbish".

'We would do these items that weren't clever or funny and think they were hilarious, but they weren't.'
