Sitting in the Hot Seat in a striped sweater, years before he became famous, the little boy asks the Chuckle Brothers what they would have done if they hadn’t become comedians.
“I would have loved to be a professional footballer,” Barry Chuckle tells young Danielle Radcliffe, before his brother bursts his bubble by telling him he would have been “rubbish”.
The trio were among the famous faces to appear on Saturday’s BBC children’s program Live and Kicking, which celebrates its 30th anniversary today.
A clip featuring big names and some lesser-known figures from the show in the 1990s was shared by the BBC on Twitter to mark the milestone.

The boy in the striped sweater was of course future Daniel Radcliffe.
He starred in the show in 1998, two years before he shot to fame as Harry Potter in the first of eight films.
Radcliffe would also appear in the TV adaptation of Charles Dickens’ David Copperfield.
Live and Kicking presenters included Andi Peters, Katy Hill, Zoe Ball, Jamie Theakston, John Barrowman and Emma Forbes.
Ball, who was on the show from 1996 to 1999, is seen in the compilation clip wearing a top with a leopard print collar.
Live and Kicking was the largest Saturday morning children’s program for most of the 1990s, eventually running until 2001.
The format included the Hot Seat segment, which allowed audience members or other children on the phone to ask celebrity guests a question.

Another well-known face in the clip shared by the BBC is Jarvis Cocker, the former frontman of the British band Pulp.
You see him 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.”

Live and Kicking was axed by the BBC after ratings fell due to stiff competition from ITV rivals SM:TV Live.
The show followed in the footsteps of Multi-Colored Swap Shop, Saturday Superstore and Going Live.

At its peak in 1996, the series had 2.5 million viewers, but by the time it was canceled the viewership had almost halved.
Katy Hill married and had two children with fellow Live & Kicking host Trey Farley.
Shortly after the show ended, Theakton lashed out at the production, calling it “nonsense.”
He told Heat Magazine: ‘When you watch the tapes back now you realize how childish it all was.
‘When Zoe and I did Live And Kicking, most of the show was editorially terrible. It was bad.
‘I think when we went they were still trying to do the same old things and suddenly I thought, ‘This is really rubbish’.
“We made things that weren’t smart or funny and thought they were hilarious, but they weren’t.”
