6. Accusations fly on air

7. And, naturally, some people can get a little tongue-tied

9. And those moments where a wonderful catchphrase is born

10. Who could forget the day the phone lines went down and we had nobody to give out to?

11. And that time Liveline summed up a nation in distress back in 2014

Never change <3
