This is what your favourite CBBC childhood stars are up to now
Once our favourite children's TV show heroes grace our screens for a few years, they tend to suddenly disappear, never to be seen again in the world of TV entertainment. There's been the occasional slip through the net, like Liam from Basil Brush cropping up in that Richmond sausage advert recently, or Konnie Huq making herself look like a tool on Jeremy Vine. But on the whole, they disappear, and don't come back.
Harry Ainsworth, The Tab, 2nd March 2020'What the f*** did I just watch?' Bizarre clip from old British children's TV show confuses Twitter after going viral (completely baffling US viewers)
A bizarre clip from an old BBC One children's show has resurfaced online and left many people baffled. The clip from Stupid! shows a young boy with a 'devil finger' who feels an urge to poke everyone he sees.
Phoebe Jackson-Edwards, Daily Mail, 12th May 2016Call me crazy ... but isn't the best children's TV being made now?
I loved Harry Hill's Shark Infested Custard and Gina Yashere's Gina's Laughing Gear. I set my Sky+ for David Schneider (The Day Today) as Uncle Max, or Marcus Brigstocke as Stupid!, which was simply Blackadder with added gunge. The fact is that some of the sharpest writers in Britain had a turn penning CITV's My Parents Are Aliens, and I don't know a child under five who isn't beguiled by Charlie and Lola. Kids TV today, when made properly, can be wonderful.
