Watt On Earth from around 1990-91-92 it was a series about this back-to-front eared alien who was hiding out on earth, in one small boy's bedroom, Watt has heir of throne on his own planet and his evil uncle sent his cheif shapeshifting hetchmen (Jemandah) to earth to find and termante his nephew. I was the one who actully wrote the entry for it on TVTome.com (before it re-generated into the crappy tv.com it is now).

When the CBBC channel offically lauched I lived in hope they may now actully repeat it I keaped my eye on the EPG for ages & ages. I have now giving up all hope of it ever ever seeing the light of day again.

What kills me more is for many many years I had around 19-20 of the 24 episodes made on tape. They got misplaced/taped over some years ago but I'm sure I might still have had them as late as 1999-2000- Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad I think I most likely would of taped over them with Top Of The Pops around then I think

The only thing on CBBC on Choice that was worth watching, it was a rather good programme first time round when it was on BBC1. By the time it was being repeated on Choice I was a teenager still enjoying the programme, and I remember others liked it too.

Probably the only thing that was on CBBC on Choice that didn't transfer to CBBC or CBeebies when they changed round in February 2002.

Bitsa was brilliant with the timed challenge - making things out of toilet rolls etc

CBBC would only resize it, so would you really want to see it with an incomplete, grainy picture?

Why Dont You... or to give it its full title:

Why Don't You Just Switch Off Your Television Set And Go Out And Do Something Less Boring Instead?

The foot going through the TV screen in the opening titles - now that was class.

Very Happy

Why Don't You? is hardly a forgotten children's show, it did after all give one Ant McPartlin a springboard to fame (unfortunately).
