Classic Nickelodeon UK Presentation In Pictures (Part 1)

Below are two screenshots/framegrabs featuring classic Nickelodeon UK on-air presentation from around 1994/1995. Both images feature Nickelodeon UK presenter Rick Adams presenting "NickALive!", which were live studio links between Nickelodeon UK's shows (Nickelodeon UK's live in-vision continuity), from one of Nickelodeon UK's first ever studios at the London Trocadero entertainment complex (also known as "The Troc"), which featured a big shop-like window behind where the Nickelodeon UK presenters used to sit where fans of Nickelodeon UK could visit Nickelodeon UK's "NickALive!" studios at the London Trocadero and appear in the background during Nickelodeon UK's live on-air studio links ("NickALive!"). The large window also meant that the Nickelodeon UK presenters could play tricks and pranks on the people looking into the Nickelodeon studio while on-air, such as Nickelodeon UK presenter Helen Chamberlain throwing a soft toy at the window to startle someone looking in.
