i enjoyed this a lot. i learned quite a bit. i agree with children's entertainment being more happy and positive that adult. i'm going to check out 'little radio' and all his past projects that he mentioned :)
what about Steve Ryder the CITV announcer ? that would be a great interview because i would love to know what was it like doing all the citv continuity between 1993-1998 when you have central tv announcers like ted may a few yards away

@Jack's Throwback Attack I'm sorry but I'm going to have to disagree with you when you say that creating the CBBC and CBeebies channels was the golden era, well actually it wasn't, separating the older children and the younger children audience was the biggest mistake the BBC has ever made as the CBBC strand were just fine on BBC One and BBC Two, especially as their corporate logos had the C before the One and Two logos, and also the CBBC strand didn't need separating, it was all thanks to Greg Dyke and Nigel Pickard, and I'm sure it wouldn't have happened if they hadn't join the BBC. So No creating CBeebies and CBBC channels and separating them was one of the biggest mistakes the BBC has done and one that will not be forgiven.
@jacobrowley1961 Well what your saying is wrong and do you want to know why? It’s because separating the two channels was a good idea because the had so many shows and the both had channel of the year. Also to show 2 or 3 preschool shows then the rest of the block then shows the older content show doesn’t make sense anymore, I think separating the two blocks into channels is a good idea because it’s good to have one channel for preschoolers and for older kids. So I agree with Jack and disagree with you.
