Pretty sure Wide Awake Club was live and IIRC it had viewer phone-ins and what not, so it pretty much had to be live.
Wacaday, which was one of the spin-offs of the Wide Awake Club, did get a few repeats in TV-am's final year or so, for reasons that I only presume was due to the "let's not spend a penny more than we absolutely have to" mantra that was in place for the last 14 months of the company's life.
Wacaday IIRC didn't have the viewer interaction that the Wide Awake Club did, being more self contained as it were - it was after all just a bit of padding around a few VTs when it boils down to it, and the whole Mallett's Mallett thing thrown in with some other fodder for good measure.
