Available for years

To celebrate 100 years of BBC Education, Live Lessons has exclusive behind-the-scenes access at the BBC with Newsround’s De-Graft Mensah, Saturday Mash-Up's Shereen Cutkelvin and CBBC superstar Hacker T Dog.

This special episode comes from MediaCityUK in Salford, home to BBC TV, radio and digital platforms including Blue Peter, Newsround, BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Sport and BBC Breakfast. Famous faces and broadcasters help our young roving reporters to write and produce their own radio report, capturing people's memories of school days throughout the years.

Our rookie reporters record contributions from celebrities of all ages, from broadcasting legend and Strictly star Angela Rippon, to the newest presenter of Blue Peter, Shini Muthukrishnan, and BBC Breakfast hosts Jon Kay and Sally Nugent. The team learn tips on scripting and presenting their report from BBC Radio 5 Live’s Chris Warburton and sports commentator Vicki Sparks and try out their interview skills on the stars they bump into behind the scenes at the BBC, including Davina McCall, David Tennant, Ade Adepitan and Laura Whitmore.
