Nickelodeon UK's Presenter Lineup In 1994 and 1995

Below is a still from Nickelodeon UK's 1994/1995 season trailer called "Things Could Be Marvelous", which was set to the song "Marvelous" by The Lightning Seeds, which features a lineup of Nickelodeon UK's then current live link presenters (Nickelodeon UK's live in-vision continuity presenters), who also presented Nickelodeon UK's "NickALive!", in 1994 and 1995. Nickelodeon UK's "Things Could Be Marvelous" promo was used to promote 1995 on Nickelodeon UK.


Nickelodeon UK's presenters in 1994/1995 from left to right:
Top (Nickelodeon UK's human presenters): Lucy Alexander, Rick Adams, Yiolanda Ttokkallos/Yiolanda Koppel (also known as "Yio", "Yoo" and "Yolly"), Mounya Khamlichi (also known as "Mou" and "Moo"), Sarah Cawood, James Gilbey, and Helen Chamberlain.

Missing from the above picture of Nickelodeon UK's 1994/1995 presenter line-up are Nickelodeon UK presenters Malcolm Bird (I think Malcolm Bird had already left Nickelodeon UK by the time this Nickelodeon UK promo was made), Nigel Mitchell, and Bert the Fish (Nickelodeon UK's original computer generated (CGI) puppet).
