FACT: You are better than Bruce Forsyth.

I was more concerned that TumbleWeed was watching Cbeebies in the first place (target audience age <6) rather than the "revelation" about the music! Shocked

Haven't you heard? He collects pres from off-air recordings, as he assumes many on here do.

My apologies Jugalug, having read back I noticed you had already raised the issue of his choice of channels to view! Wink

TBH, you seem to watch quite a lot of it. However, I'm not that bothered. Whatever floats your boat. Wink

I think my major concern (moving away from the 'should we watch CBeebies or not' dispute) regarding BBC Scotland is this:

Why, as licence fee payers, are we spending a salary replacing a relatively enthuastic network announcer with someone who sounds like a granny in Glasgow, who is employed ONLY because they are Scottish.

Strikes me some of the people in BBC Scotland pres should be making an argument for their reason to exist before they get caught up in the next round of budget cutting...

Speaking of BBC Scotland pres - before they took N24 on BBC2 last night, someone seemingly forgot for moment about the christmas idents we've been seeing for over a week, and decided to play out Seascape...

A friend's just pointed out to me that around 20 seconds into the penguins ident, a women spins in the bottom left, and her leg goes through a penguin, poor penguin, no wonder he then ends up on the floor.

Of course the "granny in Glasgow" is also directing the network as well as announcing.
