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

This special episode comes from MediaCityUK in Salford, home to ±«Óãtv TV, radio and digital platforms including Blue Peter, Newsround, ±«Óãtv Radio 5 Live, ±«Óãtv Sport and ±«Óãtv Breakfast.

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 ±«Óãtv Breakfast hosts Jon Kay and Sally Nugent. The team learn tips on scripting and presenting their report from ±«Óãtv 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 ±«Óãtv, including Davina McCall, David Tennant, Ade Adepitan and Laura Whitmore.
