Initially part of Janet Street Porter's DEF II strand, alongside Rapido and Jovanotti's Gimme 5, the show outlasted the 'yoof-TV' strand and became established in BBC 2's early 1990s evening schedule.
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes | Gimme Some Lovin' | Gimme a Break! | Gimme More | Gimme Love | Gimme Little Sign | Gimme Fiction | Gimme 5 | The song came from a phrase (''gimme somme of that'') that Enrique uses with his girlfriend Anna Kournikova | Sugar (Gimme Some) | Me First and the Gimme Gimme's | Gimme Three Steps | Gimme Shelter | Gimme Love (Alexia) | Gimme Dat Ding (song) | Gimme Dat Ding | Gimme All Your Lovin' | Gimme a Break |
Even though Jovanotti has never had a UK chart hit under his own name, he was briefly known in the United Kingdom as the presenter of the DEF II programme Gimme 5.
