Andi Peters and the other old continuity presenters will be turning in their kids presenting graves. I bet in their day they used to fight to get maximum time between programmes and then used every second properly. It's such a shame to see the slot filled so thinly thesedays.

It's a bit like ITV on an early Sunday evening when everything is padded out with trailers.

The trailers are always shown in the same order every night

- End of Newsround
- Trailer for that Sam & Mark vehicle
- Trailer for weekends
- Trailer for that Joe Swash vehicle
- Short link from Iain
- CBBC Channel Montage
- CBBC end ident which always has a long hold at the end

Yeah, I don't understand why they do a montage every day. I'm sure they could do a 2 minute original link.

Quite nice Blue Peter Christmas titles

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0183581/Blue_Peter_05_12_2011/

Bit of a screw-up at the start though, clearly intended to have a voiceover on the pre-titles.

...and a trditional end to the first Salford Blue Peter Christmas, although in the foyer of Media City so they can have a similar scale to the old days. Looked pretty good - wonder if there's any scope for using that bit of the building for other broadcast bits?

They did the North West opt for CIN from there as well - so yes!

For something like the old Pebble Mill at One programme?

Perhaps, I was thinking more along the lines of occasional use for the likes of Blue Peter when they need a bigger space as it certainly looks impressive. There's no way they could have had more than about 20 kids in the usual studio.

Anyway good to hear BBC North West have used it too.

So, erm, excuse my ignorance but this gloriously stilted Postcode thing I've just switched on now seems to be pushing/exceeding the top end of CBBC's much maligned 6-12 remit.

Alcohol, "drug dealers", sharply cut away from nudity...

I await next month's Ofcom bulletin with usual eager anticpation.

It does look like an intresting commission. Unless the age range has been pushed higher, as in my eyes it should be. These sort of topics used to be dealt with by byker grove and grange hill back in the day did.

I wonder if it may have also been commissioned for BBC Switch before the slot/strand was axed.

There is a gap of 13-15 year olds who aren't reached anymore since Switch vanished so I wouldn't be surprised if CBBC's remit has extended to 6-15.. pretty big range though if you ask me.

According to the Guardian its actually aimed at kids not teenagers. Although I suspect they hoped they might be able to draw some teenagers back in to watching CBBC.
