Right, then Children's BBC, Level Up is the new show which is replacing Xchange, and it is on till September when its contract may be renewed. And, if you want to know, its in TC10.

why is there so many icons on the bottom-right side, which don't mean anything, IS the set re-cycled as it reminds me of the old Live & Kicking studio, the glitches and fixes thing does not work at all(eg Q.My friend has B.O. how should I tell her that she stinks, A. Buy her Deodorant for Easter), and the whole gamer thing does not work at all

Give it time to bed down and then reserve judgement. Would tend to agree though as it stands that there's less opportunity for interaction with the audience at home than with Xchange. Hopefully, when the programme gets into its stride it'll be able to feature more young folk, as Glitches & Fixes is effectively the backchat / Comic strip agony aunt thing Xchange had been doing.

I do recall early D & D programmes on CBBC, and whilst the wackiness was always there, the early episodes were worlds away from what we saw when it landed on BBC One. So let's reserve judgement for a few weeks.

Weel I have been watching for the past 2 1/2 weeks and thank god they shortened the LU gamer profile they are bad enough as they are. The glitches and fixes thing is still bad and the challenges the same.
Sam & Mark though are good presenters and Aiesha(I think thats how you spell her name) is a gem and would be perfect on smile and I think having it on BBC2 & the CBBC Channel in the morning is also a good idea as breakfast on Two was getting really bad. It's improving...

As asked above what are all the icons on the screen for? Ive only seen one episode last week and didnt think it was that bad I like the way they where using webcams to communicate with the gamers thought that was quite a nice technological idea Laughing

They should really have catered for those people on Easter holidays this week by repeating it at 9.30am on the CBBC Channel instead of shunting it to 7.30am straightaway

That's a very good point. Though at least they haven't gone back to school programmes already.

As for the webcams, didn't sub zero do this on sunday mornings in 1999, 2000 and 2001? Dam I miss that programme, so cheap, yet quite good, especially the first series, very different.

It had the ability to grow, and become like a kids crystal maze, but for some reason they ended up in space!

It did indeed...and I was a contestant via webcam! In fact, I actually won an "orb" or whatever they were for the boys team.

The series after the one I was on changed the format completely, and it was dreadful, if I remember correctly.

On a sunday morning, i remember that there was a team and each team was split up, one to do tasks and one to search the cbbc website looking for orbs on pages like the teletubbies
