Shows that people forget or get lost in time

If you want a bizarre juxtaposition from kids programming and CBBC pres to programming more aimed at adults, look no further then the yawn fest that was FIVE TO ELEVEN

Yes, and when people say we shouldn't have kids channels and put kids shows on BBC1 again, that is Exhibit A as to why they won't.

I think biggest argument for showing some CBBC programming on One and Two is that it becomes ghettoised and the BBC should be building the main channels brands in the minds of younger generations.

I also see BBC One as the show case channel for the BBC in all types of programming. You could make similar arguments for not showing news on the main channel.

There was a Friday evening youth show on BBC2, circa 19:15, in the 1990s, called 100%, and was narrated by Andi Peters. Also on BBC2, but from BBC Manchester, a sports investigation show, On the line.

The Morning Show... around the time the BBC were using The XXXX Show quite a lot.

Was 'The Morning Show' like the original one The One Show a BBC Birmingham* production too?

*BBC English Regions actually.

I don't see why that would be the case. I didn't like Children's ITV when I was a kid, didn't stop me watching other shows on ITV. Channel 4 didn't have any kids shows and I watched that. And kids already watch BBC1 in big numbers for shows like Doctor Who, Strictly and Match of the Day. No kid knows of a time before kids channels and they look in the kids section of the EPG for kids shows - but also look in other sections when they want to watch other shows.



Wasn't narrated by Andi Peters, it didn't have any presenters, although it was made by CBBC and was supposed to be a halfway house between CBBC and DEF II. Trevor and Simon were the main stars and opened each show with a sketch but everything else was linked by graphics. It would have continued but a second series got axed after they'd already started working on it because there was an accounting cock-up and BBC Television had run out of money.



It was actually a BBC News production, because they would do phone votes and the like and the results would be on the Six O'clock News. If it resembled anything it was probably a proto-Victoria Derbyshire.

Was The Morning Show hosted by Nikki Chapman and someone else?

I watched both. As someone who watched children's shows but the 'adult' news growing up that was the perfect arrangement for me

In a similar vein, a possibly forgotten 90's peculiarity was the signed version of Breakfast News that went out on BBC2 at 0700 on weekdays as a simulcast of BBC1 for 15 minutes. Again was ideal for me before CBBC

Yes, Robert Nisbet, a rising star of BBC News at the time.



That actually began as a straight simulcast of the 8-8.15 bit of Breakfast News, and began in November 1989 when Westminster started being televised and they had The Record every morning at 8.15. The signing followed later, and then it moved to 7am, and then for a while it moved to 7.15 and was a recording of the 7-7.15 bit. Then it ended, but of course we now have the same on BBC News.

Activ8 on CBBC. Titles at the end of this clip.

Movies, Games and Videos which followed the Chart Show on ITV (in Central region at least)

Off topic, but I did used to like how they'd show the ident before Newsround. They knew what they were doing back then.

Remember "The Lowdown", it was a very serious half hour documentary on CBBC
