CBBC Birthday thread

I seem to remember 2000 and 2001 a programme made by BBC Scotland but shown on CBBC two in the called UKool live which made little sense been shown in England while it was still term time

UKool was on at 5.10 else where on the network. http://www.tv.com/shows/ukool/

The original series went out at 5:10 but the morning CBBC 2 slot showed Ukool live in mid July in 2001.

Opening of Studio 9:

I remember that so well. Interesting to see how close it was to the BBC rebrand and yet the set heavily features the Children's branding.

The only thing I don't remember is that Big Breakfast-rip off phone jingle - come to think of it, having the number printed on a big board isn't totally original either

Dick and Dom must rival the Chuckle Brothers when it comes to longevity on CBBC! They were also the first presenters on the first day of the new look CBBC in February 2002 (on BBC Two) and guest presented in the CBBC office a few years ago.

you mean this day

Gosh, Shauna Lowry... one of those many 90s female presenters that were everywhere at some point and then disappeared into oblivion.

Gosh, that "Random TV" YouTube channel is amazing! The holy grail, CBBC Choice idents!

I guess they based those CBBC Choice idents on the BBC Choice idents.

Yes but the Chuckle Brothers started on the BBC with Children's BBC and their Chuckle Hounds routine/show. The BBC Genome projects suggests they had presence on what is now seen as a CBBC One slot as early as 1983, though of course before this they won Opportunity Knocks in the 1960s and some sort of presence/high profile on the ATV series of New Faces. Their ChuckleHounds stuff was of course the precursor to Chucklevision which ran for 22 years and easily beats Dick & Dom in the longevity stakes alone.

Where there also not on 8.15 from Manchester?
