saw this on the forbidden app could not resist reposting because it’s true. “the one who waits is almost here” is lazy LAZY writing. stop dangling lore in front of our faces… make it SUBTLE. show not tell…

did russell go to the chibnall school of bad screenwriting before his return because these episodes do genuinely feel like they’ve been created by a different person entirely than the emotionally intelligent, thoughtful showrunner who gave us the first four series

22 January 2011. Horrible Histories wins the 2010 British Comedy Award for Best Sketch Show. The first time a children's show had won a British Comedy Award.

"...it is still, at heart, a kids show, so if you're not really, really happy for us, that's the same as punching a baby!"

Simultaneously very disappointed but also very unsurprised to learn of the transphobic censorship done to the CBBC broadcast of Transformers: Earthspark.

The censorship was done to Sam and Nightshade's conversation in the episode "Home, Part 1", to remove any mention of either character being non-binary. Dialogue comparison under the cut:

Original Dialogue:

Sam: "I know I'm safe when I'm with my friends, or other non-binary people."

Nightshade: "Non-binary?"

Sam: "People who aren't female or male. Oh, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have assumed."

Nightshade, smiling: "I always knew my pronouns felt right, but what a wonderful word for a wonderful experience."

Censored Dialogue:

Sam: "I know I'm safe when I'm with my friends-"

*line cuts off. brief freeze frame of the end of their conversation, then abrupt cut to next scene.*

What i think it would be like if Maud Pie was a cast member in 2002 Cbeebies show Balamory

I don't know what's weirder… My obsession with an old british puppet-animated show, or my first SHH "fanart"...

Traitors works because it hits the CBBC generations craving for overly dramatic gameshows

I watched @quinton-reviews 's new video and I wanted to do my set homework and come up with my own dream Nicktoons Unite team, except I never had any of the american channels growing up and I'm not familiar with a lot of these shows.

But nevermind, I came up with a compromise. Here's my concept for if they did a Nicktoon Unite style game but with CBBC and CBeebies characters:

1) Danger Mouse: reboot DM in particular is the obvious pick to replace Jimmy Neutron in this lineup. He's already dealt with cross-universe travel and portals in canon, and he has Professor Squawkencluck, who already just invents whatever device the plot requires. He's both practised enough at saving the world to be believable in these situations, while still being incompetent enough to need help from the others. Plus it'd be fun to see how his massive ego would react to these other guys.

2) Victor from The Secret Show: the most niche pick here, but come on. He's literally a secret agent. I'm not going to leave him out. (I dithered over whether to include Victor or Anita since I could only pick one. I chose Victor not because I'm sexist but because I just really want to hear Danger Mouse deliver the "Victor! Are you still alive?" line.)

3) Postman Pat: Now I know this looks like an insane choice. I know that making a postman fight baddies in life or death situations is ludicrous. But listen. Postman Pat: The Movie did it first. Blame them, not me.

4) Dennis The Menace: People who've never read The Beano might think that an un-superpowered 10 year old boy would be way out of his depth on a team with three adult men, two of whom literally fight evil for their job. But people who have read The Beano know that in canon Dennis has already thwarted alien invasions, travelled through time many times and dealth with the ramifications of changing the past AND avoided being beheaded, fought killer robots and man eating plants and sea monsters, toppled multiple dictatorships, got the British prime minister arrested, and fought climate change by going directly to the source and tearing down the factories. Whatever these games could possibly throw at him would be just another tuesday for Dennis.

5) Tiny Clanger: she's kind of the Spongebob of the group, both in the sense that high stakes situations and saving the world are really not what she usually does, but she would if she had to, and in the sense that she'd be the heart of the group. DM, Victor, and Dennis are all kind of self-centred assholes at heart who only save the world because no-one else will, and Pat is a middle aged British man (and therefore emotionally repressed), while Tiny Clanger is unfailingly loving, and kind, and friendly, and empathetic. Also her best friend in the world is a large metal bird, and I think Tiny suddenly riding around on the Iron Chicken would be a really cool power up for her.

Sometimes I just need SOMEONE else to be from the UK and understand what I'm on about when I talk about Wolfblood, Hetty Feather and The Next Step (My childhood)

Like come on guys... CBBC was peak (None of you know what I'm on about)

American mutuals simply do not understand. Worldwide mutuals don't get it. The thalia casting was in the worst witch. Cbbc show the worst witch. Do you understand what this means for me. For the culture. DO YOU GET IT

The quality of a Dracula adaptation or any other media featuring Dracula is determined by one factor and one factor only: how much cunt Dracula herself serves
