The CBBC Thread

I did laugh though when Dunceton was slagging off Ed's moustache. And again when he said Holly's bum was hairier and looked like Bill Oddie!!

Just glad they're out of the office

It's strange seeing two CBBC presenters on screen at once these days!

Why is there a postcard of what looks like Simon Parkin pinned to the wall behind where the puppet sits?

Actually it is Simon Parkin. There's all sorts of weird stuff on the walls in that place that, if you are a frequent TV watcher, will recognise.

Great to see Ed & Oucho back, I didn't have a clue what was going on when Holly & Dunceton were still there.

It was weird seeing two presenters, and two puppets in the studio. It wasn't a bad thing, and I don't think that Holly has been bad, but Dunceton's shouting and the fact that he's a brain weren't good qualities.

Good to see Ed & Oucho back all be it briefly today and straight in with the Matt Dawson advent calendar.

TMi never had any special Christmas titles today. Which suprised me. They only used the Series 2 Christmas transitions. They didnt even use the Christmassy music bed.

Next week is the Christmas show, so maybe they will use the Christmas titles then.

Unless you are talking about sommat else, they were using a festive redention of the theme in the opening titles.

No snow or anything in the titles, just the Xmas music. Perhaps they're leaving that till next week or they haven't got the money to redo the series 3 titles in an xmassy style? Mind you one of the kids today said they were "addicted to the TMi theme tune"!

Also has anyone noticed when they throw the kid in the gunge at the end they always ask "are you ok" to make sure they haven't drowned or anything, and today's girl didn't seem convinced she was!

But surley the graphics from last years Christmas titles could be still around in the system? or as mentioned, they could be saving them for next week. The titles felt weird with just the festive version of the theme tune and no Christmas graphics.

A good Christmas feel to the show today, just a shame that it's the last show next week. I wonder why they haven't run it until the 20th, it's the 20th, not Christmas Eve.

I just can't believe how TMi has been treated from the first year of 20+ weeks at 165 minutes a show in a great studio, great location, and a load of pre recorded Christmas specials for the Christmas week, to 13/14 90 minute programmes in Studio 9 at TVC ending with a Christmas show just under 2 weeks before Christmas.

Anyway, on a CBBC related note CBBC has pulled out it's Christmas pres, it looks as though they're the same idents as last year, but I could be wrong. Can anyone remember if they did anything to the CBBC Channel DOG last year?
