Chris Jarvis... Does anyone remember that spoof sketch they used to do in the mornings, wood Lane TV. They came to Southsea to do a special, which I remember 'cause I was there. Chris does loads of voiceovers. As for Fearne, I happen to know that she got offered a lot of money to defect to BBC.


Yeah, I remember Wood Lane TV (vaguely). About Fearne - just shows what can happen - she started out after going to an audition for 'Diggit' and presented it alongside that annoying East London Spotty teenager 'Des'! And now she's bieng paid a packet to present on CBBC!

Yes, and Des isn't even his real name- It's Paul! Des was the fake name he was given, along with everyone else (expept Craig Doyle) when he did the disney club.

Just thought I'd point it out, as Des had been mentioned.

Incidentally, at the moment CBBC on One is coming from the new Xchange studio and they just showed some of the new presenters. From what I've seen the new studio looks good, but Ortis just said that there'll be more news on the new look Xchange later on today!

When they showed the new presenters I'm sure I saw Lyndsey from MTV On Call. She only started on MTV last year. is she already quitting and becoming an XChange presenter?

I think The Disney Club is still shown on the French Disney Channel, and I think they have a Diggit too!

I think Disney Club began to pick up again just as GMTV/Disney pulled it and replaced it with Road Hogg - remember that one?
