[quote="Inspector Sands" pid="1223307"]Milkshake on Channel 5 are doing the birthdays by showing the cards as a caption with a voiceover. Though they seem to have some studio links too, presumably older non specific ones /quote]A weird thought just came into my head where, imagine if they accidentally played one of the generic links from the old studio.

I note that the Mills Bros, Max and Harvey have been brought back early for Series 3 of FOMO, to support the Quarantine effort.

What pre-Salford? They wouldn't even exist to be played I expect. Besides the presenters would be wrong. They seem to refresh the non-specific links fairly often, Ryan who left to work on Coronation Street no longer appears which is a shame as he was in a lot of the songs that used to get played particularly first thing in the morning.

I think he means Milkshake continuity links.

New CBBC series ‘The Snow Spider’ will air simultaneously on CBBC and BBC One Wales on Sundays from 29th March at 6.05pm. An interesting decision and hopefully something that they could consider for this other shows.

They managed to keep it up the simulcasts for the first three episodes, but the teatime news has been brought forward this week and next, so BBC One Wales have scheduled their first showing a little earlier. (I've been enjoying watching it with our 5 year old!)

Nice little singalong with CBBC and CBeebies stars of "Consider Yourself" from Oliver! was shown during the Saturday Mashup House Party this weekend.

A little slice of the song can be watched here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/watch/saturday-mash-up-consider-yourself
Or you can watch the whole thing now on iPlayer at 1:15:30 in: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000hqw9/saturday-mashup-house-party-4-with-jason-manford-crackerjack-dragons

Also worth noting today is the first of the temporary CBeebies birthday cards provision, which is quite reminiscent of the Smart art gallery. Just need some Left Bank Two now!

Jamie Johnson series 5, which begins on 7th May, will feature a character coming out as LGBT. Although other CBBC shows like The Dumping Ground, 4 O'Clock Club (and Jamie Johnson previously) have featured LGBT characters, this will be the first time in recent memory that they will have a character on a journey like this. It's really nice to see this diversity and it's something that a lot of people have been calling for in CBBC shows.

You just know people are going to complain about it though. I wholeheartedly support it, but so many others won’t.

Oh yeah. I remember a David Walliams book called ‘Bad Dad’ from a couple of years ago which has a lesbian wedding at the end. The Amazon reviews are quite critical (my child shouldn’t be exposed to this etc.)

Were they also critical about The Boy in the Dress, which, obviously, had a kid cross-dressing? Walliams pushes the limit, tries to make formerly taboo stuff acceptable.

I wasn't working in my current job at the time so I'm not sure, that is the only reason i know about Bad Dad.

I am still glad that the BBC still care about their childrens channel unlike ITV!
