Best of Live at Five is a compilation show of the best bits aired on Live at Five and usually airs whenever live episodes are unable to be recorded due to either conflict schedules or whenever presenters are unable to present the show – for instance during the 2018 Great Britain and Ireland cold wave, some of the presenters from the show could not travel to the STV studios in Glasgow as they lived in other parts of Scotland and because of the severity of the weather, they could not travel which resulted in a compilation show being broadcast over two days during the cold wave.
