Yes, but I'd prefer shows to use their proper credits not the crappy ones ITV use.

Well said Gareth, I agree!

Does anyone remember Ratz? �He was a 3D computer-generated Cat who presented CBBC and I think he also appeared on live & kicking. �He would be super imposed over the presenters and talk to them. �He was post-Edd the duck and pre-Otis.

Incidentally, here is an image of a new CBeebies show, 'Story Tellers'.

Yes, I remember Ratz. I always wished they'd bring him back. I see CBBC have dumped the idea of having a puppet presenting with them too, which is good as they aren't really popular with today's kids. Shame the Saturday Show has 2 really annoying ones.

I had a dream once, and Ratz appeared on my school blackboard and started teaching us.

Yes I remember Ratz, didn't work as well as Edd or Otis.

Nah, it's the Earth Wind And Fire revival (can you spot the only original member in the lineup?)

Yeah it is Danny John Jules. He also appeared in The Demon headmaster, Series 1, Episode 3 as Eddie Hair! I noticed it was him as he had the familiar voice that I always think of 'Cat' by! Strange really, as that's not even his real voice!
