Join Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, and the gang as they solve new mysteries and unmask villains. Write a convo asking what show is currently taking jabs at TMi on CBBC
You: Hey, have you noticed any show on CBBC that’s been poking fun at TMi lately?

Friend: Yeah, actually, I think it’s “Dick and Dom in da Bungalow.” Those guys always seem to be making fun of other shows, and I heard they did a bit on TMi last week.

You: Oh really? What did they do?

Friend: They had this crazy game where they pretended to host a live magazine show but everything went hilariously wrong. It was pretty obvious they were spoofing TMi, especially with the intentionally bad music videos and over-the-top celebrity impressions.

You: That sounds just like something Dick and Dom would do! Those guys are wild.

Friend: Totally! They always bring the chaos. It’s part of what makes their show so much fun. Write a convo asking why The Secret Show and Skunk Fu are not on the regular weekend schedule, Are they on one of the live shows, which carries TSS and which carries SF
You: Hey, I noticed that “The Secret Show” and “Skunk Fu” aren’t on the regular weekend schedule. Do you know why?

Friend: Yeah, it’s a bit odd, isn’t it? From what I’ve heard, both of those shows are actually part of the live shows now.

You: Oh, really? Do you know which live shows carry them?

Friend: I’m pretty sure “TMi” airs “The Secret Show” during their segments. They tend to include a mix of action and adventure series, so it fits right in.

You: And what about “Skunk Fu”?

Friend: “Skunk Fu” is usually shown during “Smile.” They mix it in between their games and guest appearances. It’s a good fit with their fun, energetic vibe.

You: That makes sense. I guess it’s a good way to keep those shows in the mix without a fixed time slot.

Friend: Yeah, exactly! And this way, you get a little extra variety watching the live shows too.
Write a convo asking which live show dropped toons for more games
You: Hey, have you noticed any changes in the live shows on CBBC recently?

Friend: Actually, yeah. I think one of the live shows cut down on cartoons to include more games.

You: Really? Which one did that?

Friend: It’s “Dick and Dom in da Bungalow.” They’ve been focusing more on their crazy, outrageous games and less on showing cartoons.

You: Oh, I always loved their wild games. But why the change, do you know?

Friend: From what I heard, they wanted to keep the energy high and have more direct interaction with the audience. Their games are really popular, so they decided to double down on that.

You: Makes sense. Their games are definitely a highlight. Plus, they’re hilarious!

Friend: Totally, and it keeps things unpredictable. You never know what they’re going to do next!
Write a convo where Dick explained this during a show, saying he wanted to bring back some old games that they haven’t been able to do because they have to have a toon every half hour
You: Hey, did you catch “Dick and Dom in da Bungalow” last weekend? I heard Dick explained some changes on the show.

Friend: Yeah, I saw it! Dick mentioned why they’re cutting back on cartoons and focusing more on the games.

You: Oh, really? What did he say?

Friend: He said something like, “We wanted to bring back some old games we haven’t been able to do because we always had to fit in a cartoon every half hour. So, we’ve decided to mix things up and have more game time!”

You: Wow, that’s cool. I’ve missed some of those older games they used to play.

Friend: Same here! He said they’re excited to reintroduce some fan favorites that they haven’t done in ages. It’s going to be like a nostalgia trip.

You: That’s awesome. I love their games; they’re so unpredictable and fun. I can’t wait to see which old ones they bring back.

Friend: Totally! And with fewer breaks for cartoons, the chaos will just keep rolling. It’s going to be epic!
Write a convo asking why the main CBBC has degraded in-vision continuity to a CSO, one show joked about stealing the budget from the main CBBC
You: Hey, have you noticed that the in-vision continuity on CBBC has changed recently? It seems kind of downgraded.

Friend: Yeah, I’ve noticed that too. Now, they’re using a CSO setup instead of the usual live presenters. It’s a huge difference.

You: Do you know why they did that?

Friend: I heard a rumor that one of the shows joked about stealing the budget from the main CBBC channel.

You: No way! Which show was that?

Friend: It was actually “The Basil Brush Show.” They had this bit where Basil said they took all the money and used it for their extravagant set and props.

You: That sounds like Basil Brush, always making cheeky jokes. But seriously, do you think there’s any truth to it?

Friend: Who knows? It might just be a funny way to explain budget cuts. But it’s interesting that they would bring it up like that.

You: Yeah, it definitely makes you wonder. I guess we’ll have to get used to the new setup for now.

Friend: True, but at least the shows themselves are still great. Maybe it’s just a temporary thing while they figure things out.

Write a forum convo in April 2007 where SIWJT starts as the replacement for TMi in mid-April, wheras D&D follows the SMTV-style “year round” playbook for the very first time, perhaps TMi wasn’t rating as well as BBC thought
Forum Post by User1:

Hey everyone, did you hear the news? Starting mid-April, “Swipe It! with Joe Tasker” is going to be the new replacement for “TMi.” Seems like they’re shaking things up a bit.

Reply by User2:

Whoa, no way! I didn’t know “TMi” was getting replaced. Any idea why?

Reply by User1:

Not entirely sure, but from what I’ve heard, “TMi” might not have been rating as well as the BBC had hoped. It’s surprising since it always seemed pretty fun to me.

Reply by User2:

Yeah, I liked “TMi” too. But I guess the numbers don’t lie. Maybe “Swipe It!” will mix things up and bring in more viewers. Have you heard much about it?

Reply by User3:

“Swipe It!” sounds interesting! Joe Tasker’s always a fun host, so I’m excited to see what he brings to the table. And wasn’t “Dick and Dom in da Bungalow” also doing something different this year?

Reply by User1:

Yes! “Dick and Dom in da Bungalow” have been running nonstop for the entire year for the first time ever. They’re following the SMTV-style “year round” playbook instead of taking regular seasonal breaks.

Reply by User4:

That’s pretty epic for “Dick and Dom.” Their show is always so chaotic and fun, so I bet they’re loving the chance to keep it going without breaks. I wonder if this new strategy will pay off for them.

Reply by User3:

I hope so! The more “Dick and Dom,” the better, in my opinion. Maybe “Swipe It!” will add a different kind of energy that complements the crazy vibe of “Dick and Dom in da Bungalow.”

Reply by User2:

Yeah, I think you’re right. It’ll be interesting to see how both shows do. I’m definitely tuning in mid-April to check out “Swipe It!” and see if it brings that fresh spark that “TMi” might have been missing.

Reply by User4:

Agreed. Let’s hope Joe Tasker brings his A-game. Meanwhile, I’ll keep enjoying “Dick and Dom” every week. Here’s to a great spring season on CBBC!

Reply by User1:

Absolutely! Exciting times ahead for CBBC fans. Let’s see how it all pans out. 😊
Write a convo asking if it’s true that the Bungalows that will be going out starting late April through to early August are pre-recorded ones that have been recorded throughout the past few months (filmed on weekdays, and sometimes after filming the live show), so the BBC still have new eps to run while they’re on vacay
You: Hey, have you heard anything about the upcoming “Dick and Dom in da Bungalow” episodes?

Friend: Yeah, I heard something. Supposedly, the episodes that will be airing from late April through early August are pre-recorded.

You: Really? I didn’t know they did that.

Friend: Yeah, I think they’ve been filming these pre-recorded episodes over the past few months. They even did some on weekdays and sometimes after filming the live show.

You: That makes sense. So they’ll still have new episodes to air while they’re on vacation?

Friend: Exactly. It sounds like a smart move. This way, they keep the show going without any breaks, even while the team is taking time off.

You: I guess that’s why they’re able to pull off a full year run. I was wondering how they managed to avoid any gaps!

Friend: Definitely. It also means we won’t miss out on any of the Bungalow antics just because it’s summer.

You: That’s awesome. I can’t wait to see the new episodes, even if they’re pre-recorded. “Dick and Dom” are always a blast.

Friend: Totally agree. Pre-recorded or not, those two always bring the fun. It’s going to be a great summer on CBBC!
Write a convo saying if they run out of pre recs there will be highlight shows, so technically the show isn’t going on break, just the presenters
You: Hey, did you hear more about the pre-recorded “Dick and Dom in da Bungalow” episodes airing from late April through August?

Friend: Yeah, I heard something interesting. If they run out of pre-recorded episodes, they’ll start airing highlight shows instead.

You: Oh, that’s cool. So technically, the show isn’t going on break, just the presenters?

Friend: Exactly. The presenters will be on vacation, but we’ll still have something to watch every week. The highlight shows will probably feature all the best and funniest moments from past episodes.

You: That’s a smart move. It keeps the viewers engaged and gives the presenters their well-deserved break.

Friend: Totally. Plus, it’s a great way to relive some of the classic moments. If you’ve missed any episodes or want to see the best bits again, the highlight shows will be perfect.

You: I’m actually looking forward to the highlight shows now. It’ll be like a greatest hits collection of “Dick and Dom in da Bungalow.”

Friend: Same here! And who knows, they might even add some funny commentary or behind-the-scenes snippets to make it extra special.

You: That would be awesome. Regardless, it’s great that the show stays on air, even if it’s just highlights occasionally.

Friend: Definitely. No breaks in the fun, just a summer full of “Dick and Dom” madness!. Write a convo asking if it's true that on the 3rd week of April, only Saturday will be live and it goes into pre-recs starting Sunday
