Glad they've improved the atmosphere and excitement from the audience, the kids look like they want to be there now. Nice to see some BTS in the galleries.

EDIT: An audience in the 'Push Up' segment. Thumbs up

Little nod to Monarch Airlines in the competition segment.

Still can't help but notice the kids looking to what's next to Hacker rather than at him...

I'm finding myself watching it every week like I'm ten years old again - granted I'm very happily skipping the shows, especially The Next Step - but I really do wish Jonny found some other way to forge charisma than just shouting.

I often found myself skipping the shows when MOM/Showdown was on and TMi later on. Not had another chance to watch an episode live since the first show will have to catch up and see what's changed.

I haven't checked out episodes 3 & 4 yet, but the reboot of Danger Mouse is pretty enjoyable so I don't skip that. But I do skip The Next Step and Ooglies.

Danger mouse and Zig & Zag are both wonderful cartoons, I find something else to watch when the Next Step is on, but it's clearly very popular with CBBC's target audience.

I too have found that I'm watching it, as a 32 year old I stranglely fond it the most entertaining thing on a Saturday morning across the channels.

I hope the BBC Two broadcast has a DOG, because if it doesn’t it's going to make me look for one and get distracted.

Sorry but thats an odd logic, it's a bit like saying 'I hope there's a pop up during my internet browsing session'

I suggest you fire up a Delorean and go back to any time most nights between 1997 and about 2006, specifically between 12:30am to 7am. You'll be happy there.

They dropped the DOG eleven years ago? I had given up on BBC Two overnight because I assumed it was still there.
