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!

Steveie23 commented on 04 April 2007: Hey, have you heard about the schedule change for “Dick and Dom in da Bungalow” in mid-April?

Friend commented on 04 April 2007: Yeah, I heard something about that. Supposedly, starting the 3rd week of April, only the Saturday episode will be live, and they’ll switch to pre-recorded episodes starting Sunday.

Yousde commented on 04 April 2007: Wow, really? So just one live episode per week before going fully pre-recorded?

Rusty&RosieFan22 commented on 04 April 2007: Exactly. It seems like they want to give the presenters a bit more breathing room before their summer break.

YouandME commented on 04 April 2007: Makes sense. Do you know how long the pre-recorded episodes will run?

Friend commented on 04 April 2007: The pre-recorded episodes will start that Sunday and continue through early August. The presenters will get their vacation time, but we’ll still have new content to watch.

EndofTheWORLD commented on 04 April 2007: That’s good to know. I guess they planned this out well to make sure the show keeps going without major interruptions.

Friend commented on 04 April 2007: Definitely. And they’ve been filming these pre-recorded episodes over the past few months, so there should be plenty to fill the summer schedule.

SummerTime commented on 04 April 2007: It’s nice to see they’re keeping us entertained even when they’re not live. Plus, transitioning with a live episode on Saturday is a good way to ease into the change.

JameRicke commented on 04 April 2007: Totally agree. It’s a smart transition, and we still get our “Dick and Dom” fix. It’s going to be an interesting summer for sure.

You: For sure. Looking forward to seeing how it all turns out!

HeyHEY22 commented on 08 April 2007: Loved Vivit-kun (mascot of Ehime Broadcasting in Japan, He is a red/white creature with antennae, one cyan and one yellow) as a guest today, He was a cute helper for the kids, Also the part towards the end where everyone sings Shine by Take That was just.... chef's kiss, also Dick says "Also it has come to my attention that as of next Sunday the bungalow@bbc.co.uk email service will explode and take several months to repair, also the phone line will melt into sludge" obvs referencing the fact you can't call as it's gonna be pre-recorded, Also at the end there is a hint of what's to happen next week

JadenYukiFan34 commented on 08 April 2007: Today's show was.... absolutely incredible. The rendition of "Shine" brought me close to tears. But the very end, the garden tap - dripping muck muck - was genius.

EndOfTheWORLD commented on 08 April 2007: Well my Sky went off for about 5 mins just as the Bungalow Rodeo was about to start, haven't checked yet but I hope its taped or else I will be gutted.

Made me laugh that Dick and Dom kept on telling the kids that you won't be able to email or phone the show for a few months.

Also Vivit-kun was really cute. And that tap at the end. EEK, I'm guessing there will be gunge like no other next week. Also any truth to the rumor that next week's celebrity guest will be Jamie Rickers? SURELY not? He hosts Toonattik. a ARCH ENEMY of this show

FastForward22 commented on 08 April 2007: Anyone get the feeling that next Saturday you'll be witnessing more Creamy Muck Muck in one bungalow than you ever thought humanly possible? :D, I take it the day after that show it goes into pre-recs

Stevie23 commented on 08 April 2007: Yeah, I think I get that vibe too! Next Saturday’s show might be the messiest one yet, especially with the hints they’ve been dropping. And it’s good timing, seeing as they’ll be switching to pre-recorded episodes right after that.

Friend commented on 08 April 2007: Absolutely! Same here. I’m bracing myself for a muck-a-palooza. Also, did you hear that the first full week of pre-recorded episodes will coincide with “TMi” being replaced by “Swipe It! with Joe Tasker” for summer?

Yousde commented on 08 April 2007: I did hear that! So much change happening at once, but it sounds like a blast. I wonder how the pre-recorded format will feel compared to the live shows.

Rusty&RosieFan22 commented on 08 April 2007: I hope they keep the energy up with the pre-records. And with “Swipe It!” starting up, it’ll be an interesting mix for sure. Do we know anything about the first pre-recorded episode?

YouandME commented on 08 April 2007: From what I’ve been hearing, the first pre-recorded episode is supposed to be quite the crossover event. There will only be two celebrity guests, and both from the same show. Any guesses?

EndofTheWORLD commented on 08 April 2007: No way, only two celebs? That’s unusual. Could it be a crossover with another kids’ show? I’m betting it could be someone from “Toonattik” after all those rumors.

Friend commented on 08 April 2007: Yup, it’s true. Jamie Rickers might actually appear despite being an “arch-enemy” of the show. This could be epic!

SummerTime commented on 08 April 2007: Could you imagine the chaos if Jamie Rickers from “Toonattik” shows up? It would be the ultimate crossover. Plus, it would have a fun rivalry vibe.

JameRicke commented on 08 April 2007: Honestly, that would be amazing. Mixing the vibes from “Toonattik” with “Dick and Dom in da Bungalow” would be pure entertainment. The kids are going to love it!

FastForward22 commented on 08 April 2007: Anyone else think this could be a way to bridge the gap between viewers of both shows? If it works, this crossover could bring a whole new audience to the Bungalow.

JadenYukiFan34 commented on 08 April 2007: That’s a great point. And having two celebs from the same show makes it really feel like a special event. This crossover might just be what both shows need.

Friend commented on 08 April 2007: Agreed. And if they do it right, it could end up being one of the most memorable Bungalow episodes yet. Plus, “Swipe It!” starting the same week might bring even more buzz.

Stevie23 commented on 08 April 2007: I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds! Between the crossover and the transition to pre-recorded episodes, it’s going to be an exciting time for CBBC fans.

JameRicke commented on 08 April 2007: And let’s not forget the potential explosion of creamy muck muck next Saturday. Could be the craziest Bungalow episode ever!

Friend commented on 08 April 2007: Definitely can’t wait. Buckle up, Bungalow fans—it’s going to be one wild summer!

KroshRiki commented on 08 April 2007: Anyone using Series Link on the CBBC Channel - make sure you manually put in next Saturday's final live show, as that had dropped off the planner too. Can you imagine missing that?!!! And then there are pre-recorded shows which will run till the show starts up again or supply is exhausted, whichever comes first, although there will be highlights in the event they do run out of pre-recs.

Drip....

Drip....

Drip....  Write a continuation where on the 10th, the BBC schedule page reveals the 3 joining the main crew for that fateful season finale (sort of, the pre-recs exist LOL)
