The CBBC Thread

I wonder if Ed and Oucho will be on CBBC today? As the first link was Iain and Hacker with a sort of 'Best Bits of 2009' featuring Them+Dan&Jeff?

Ed will be joined by a new co-host Chris today.... A little birdy tells me he will first apear in the 4th Link!

Whos Chris? Is he the new stand alone presenter or will he be paired with Ed and or Oucho?

Currently, he's being paired with Ed on weekends at the moment.

So, CBBC Is having a shuffle round with the times this week....

Iain and Hacker, Weekdays, 7:30, 7:45, 8:00am and 4:00-7:00pm!
Ed and Chris, Weekends, 8:00-10:30am!

I don't see the point in them doing mornings for only 3 links...

Makes sense to me. There's been no proper in-vision continuity in the mornings for many years, and the BBC2 breakfast show used to be quite a well-produced slot as it got a decent audience of kids tuning in. Good to spread their budget out a bit rather than in one go in the afternoon!

BREAKING NEWS: it has been confirmed around 25 minutes ago (via Sam & Mark's Twitter) that TMi will return in September, but this time will be live on a Friday afternoon. It doesn't state if it will be on BBC One or on the channel only, or how longeach programme will be, but it will return.

Brilliant news! Hopefully the show will reach a larger audience on Friday afternoons - though I doubt as to whether it will still be 90 minutes?! Be interesting to see what changes are made. I wonder what will replace TMi on a Saturday?

Good news that it's returning and essentially being promoted - but sounds like the death knell for Saturday morning tv. Doubt that anything will replace it that's long-form and live, unless CBBC suddenly find a lot more money! Would love to be proved wrong though...

**Prays it's not 'The Mighty Truck of Stuff' again**

I am glad that TMI is moving to friday afternoon. On the CBBC website they were advertizing that you can apply to be on Basil's Swap Shop. So I think that be back when Transmission Impossible with Ed & Oucho was on last year which then pushes Transmission Impossible with Ed & Oucho to move in to TMI old spot? But I could be wrong.

Basil's Swap Shop is returning in later on in the year. The be on a show page says application forms must be in at the end of May.
