I was just watching the latest edition online.

I notice it seems to have relaunched with new titles and a new set

When did this all happen?

Kevin is still there by the way

Good to hear that Kevin Pamplin is still at the helm of Puffin's Pla(i)ce - one of Channel's best shows. I sent them a Christmas card in 2003 and it was read out live on-air. I don't catch it so much these days as it goes out at a new time instead of 3.05pm. Sad

It happened the other week, I'm still not a fan of the set. The titles are rubbish compared to the old ones, and so is the set, but when you take away the christmas ness of the set, you're left with blue walls!

It's Kevin's last year of reign, they even introduced the person that will be replacing him too, not too bad, very similar to Kevin

Sad to hear that Kevin is leaving Puffin's Pla(i)ce but I suppose people must move on. Sad

This will always be for me the classic Puffin's Pla(i)ce set. The similarities to the CBBC Broomcupboard with microphone in shot was a good feature.

I believe the show peaked about a year ago, following the show moving to 1.20pm I never get chance to see it

I wonder what Kevin will do next?!

Is the studio they use the (now more or less redundant) con booth?

I still watch it a bit, though not as much as I used to.

Must admit, the show was great in the old set. I didn't think that they should have got rid of it, even the change to the stool instead of chair, and the clip mics made it strange. In my opinion all that they should have done was to re dress the set. I'm still unsure as to what they will do with this new set now after Christmas.
