ITV disposed of the show in 1993, but the same version, with Bob Holness at the helm carried on for another year on Sky One, then the show ended. Then it came back for a brief spell on BBC2 in 1997 albeit that Michael Aspel was now host, the show lasted a series. Then the Series returned to it's more traditional format on Sky One in 2000, with Liza Tarbuck now presenter, but again this only lasted one series.

Though I have an old TV Guide from 1997 somewhere, and Border TV were still showing Holness-era episodes on the same days as when the New Aspel-era episodes were being shown on BBC2.

Rugrats and the Rugrats sequel "All grown up" debued on the BBC and just after the All grown up started, it moved to ITV.

Rugrats All grown up did not start on the BBC, but premiered on itv. However Rugrats did have a two part episode in the final series which saw all the babies as teenagers. This was experimenting with the idea before a series was made.

future switch ...

cd:uk ---> five?

certainly seems that way, especially with the way they signed off at lunchtime. "Possibly see you in the near future......." does that mean there are talks taking place between BLAZE television and another broadcaster for the CD:... franchise

I could easily see CD:uk fitting into either a midday slot or a 530pm slot on a Saturday on five
