The special body of programming has been the home of many popular shows, such as Blue Peter, Newsround, Grange Hill, Byker Grove, The Story of Tracy Beaker, Horrible Histories and The Sarah Jane Adventures amongst many, many others. Throughout it's history, it has also helped the careers of Phillip Schofield, Ant & Dec, Fearne Cotton, Dick & Dom and Reggie Yates amongst a number of others too. What are your memories of CBBC? Was it always on after you got back from school? Did you get up early on weekends to catch live TV such as Live & Kicking or Dick & Dom in the Bungalow?

Don't really watch it much at all now, besides Wizards vs Aliens (when it was still airing) and Wolfblood - both are great shows!

Although knowing my luck, I would end up not even getting picked for a challenge I LOVED 'Jeopardy', such a good drama and a great use of the found footage for children's TV. I still want to know what really happened at the end. ~~ I was very much a CBBC child, basically watching every show on there haha. Raven, Tracy Beaker, Arthur, Grange Hill and of course The Sarah Jane Adventures were particular favourites but I really did love basically everything. Saturday mornings were particularly great with Dick n Dom in da Bungalow as well as stuff like Smile & The Saturday Show. Kids these days are missing out on live Saturday morning TV.

My favorite CBBC programmes were Live&Kicking, The Saturday Show, kerching!, TOTP Saturday, Tracy Beaker and Smile! . In summer there always was XChange I loved that show . I think my 1st CBBC show was Playbus at least that's what I remember.

Attack Dog/Sass Queen Joined: 29 January 2008 Posts: 16,022 User: 5,342	The Saturday Show, Get Your Own Back (my childhood really was the height of the 'gunge tank' motif of kids TV) 50/50, Basil Brush, Tracy Beaker, The Worst Witch, The Demon Headmaster, Mona The Vampire, Arthur, Watch My Chops, Stupid and Best of Friends (that one where a group of friends decided who would get treats and do tasks by sucking sweets that made their tongue blue) were childhood faves of mine. Horrible Histories and Sorry I've Got No Head were ones I watched sporadically once I got too old for CBBC.

I Drink Wine Joined: 12 April 2015 Posts: 10,485 User: 21,753	With CBBC, it was all about Tracey Beaker! I used to live for that show when I was a kid. They used to make some great game shows too, as already mentioned, like 50/50 and Get Your Own Back. QUOTE(Froot. @ Sep 8 2015, 11:06 PM) Mine would be Konnie/Simon/Matt/Liz and throw in Zoë and Gethin at the end too. 'My' Blue Peter presenters too!
