Is it anything like 'Cloud 9' on Live and Kicking, where they make people's dreams come true?


No, we already do that on Xchange - it's called "Dream On" (incidentally we have the same Editor as L&K)

But to answer a few points earlier - the reason I'm posting this is because it really is new and I thought people would like to see its first outing at 7.30am on the CBBC Channel on Monday.

I can't say anything else until after it's gone live on Monday for obvious operational reasons. You may have your own thoughts on it, but the idea is that it'll make Xchange really stand out.

I hope me posting something to look out for hasn't offended too many people, I really am posting this because I thought people would like to know about something new in television.

Anyway, I'm off for the weekend now. Have a good'n...

Is it something to do with the caller controlling something real in the studio - ie. a robot type thing or something through their keypad?

...Or could it be to do with this - http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/xchange/xhead/index.shtml ? So the caller's 3D image will talk when they do?

Ah, well, I know someone else who works on Xchange (a former flatmate) so I think I might just ask her rather than being party to this atmosphere of breathless excitement.
