Well I’ve heard that London was really really expensive back then (and not just these days), so maybe they went to Glasgow to get a cheaper pint.
It was all expensed Bobby and so they weren't paying for it themselves

There is no way that they came from London to Glasgow by Saturday afternoon as often as they did Bobby
I could maybe see it happen for a big thing like someone's engagement party or something but this was just a regular Saturday afternoon drink after work type thing.
Not all the time but often enough

Well I’ve had a look today to see where Glasgow is on a map and you’re right, it is too far away really for people to travel there from London in just a couple of hours for a pint.

I didn't watch kids TV then Bobby and so only knew of them from others telling me that they were on TV.
There was a decent bunch of people from the telly around the pubs at the time though
I quite fancied Miss Hoolie but she was taken already

Well further research tells me that filming moved to BBC Scotland in 2001 for its last season which is after Barrowman and T&S had left, so maybe they were filming some parts of it there much earlier as you say.
I bet it was some thrill! Did you chat to them much?

Oh I’m not bothered about Graham Norton or any modern TV. So anyway I decided to see if artificial intelligence could help me out and it came up with this…
No, the children's Saturday morning show "Live & Kicking" was not filmed in Glasgow. While it was a popular BBC show, it was filmed in London, at BBC Television Centre in White City. There may be some confusion with other shows or events filmed in Glasgow that share a similar title or theme. For example, Simple Minds filmed a live version of "Alive and Kicking" in Glasgow in 2014, and the BBC's "River City" is filmed in Dumbarton, near Glasgow. However, "Live & Kicking" itself was always a London-based production.
This video shows Simple Minds performing "Alive and Kicking" in Glasgow:
So there we have it. You obviously watched Simple Minds perform Alive and Kicking and got it muddled up with this.

I hate to break this one to you Bobby, but did you know that Graham Norton isn't live on a Friday and is also sometimes shot in Glasgow?

So it is all a SHAM!!!
There was me visiting White City in London thinking that was where most of classic Doctor Who, Blue Peter, Noel’s Crinkly Bottom and YES, Live & Kicking was filmed…but that last one at least was a lie!!!

It's quite possible that they filmed in two different locations and had it edited together with the live show for broadcast with phone ins
I'm not saying how it all worked, just that lots of it was in Glasgow and I know that for a fact because I used to partake in a bevvy alongside those who worked on the show

Barrowman’s maybe, but Trev and Simon used to interact with that weeks guests!!

I hope that they move it back to that building which was in the titles of Live and Kicking and The National Lottery.

We might get to see the BBC burn down Bobby
Not in a bad violent way or anything, just an insurance job so those in the money can continue to be

We will get our Christmas episode of Doctor Who this year after all!
I bet there’s bugger all on this year compared to last.

We can get Shooty in again just to clear the air with Christopher and all the fans out there
It would be like Christmas come early Bobby, imagine it!

And then we all band together as a FAMILY and beat the Whirlygirg and the reason being….The Whirlygirg doesn’t have a family, but we DO! We ARE ALL family!

I think he should get Billie Piper in to visit Bianca Jackson again
Something about that fashion show threw Billie's character into the lofty heights of stardom and she's back to say thanks to Bianca because of some terminal illness or something.
Then she discovers Bianca has gone
oop North
with Sonya and we get her meeting Christopher Eccleston in his role as DCI David Billborough's twin brother and they go looking for her out by the witching grounds of Pendle.
The Whirlygrig appears and all hell breaks loose

I don’t want Enders in my Fantastic Four. It is bad enough having Enders in my Enders!
I hope that Ben Bradshaw changes the show to be less ‘Enders’ and more something else that I would prefer to watch. I doubt it though, he is all about making the show like it used to be, back when he was a drooling little wean.

Well I have no doubt that he will beat them…ONCE. However our heroes will not be out of the fight. They will pick themselves up and dust themselves off. Then they will beat Galacticus after realising that the greatest bond that they share is that all important FAMILY! That is what will give them the edge over Galacticus. They are a family. Galacticus doesn’t have a family you see, he’s all alone up there with just his Heralds. This is why he will (in the end) LOSE!
