My Views On BBC Bitesize's New Lineup

I found out they have the Bitesize label on EVERY SHOW.

First, there's Bitesize Teacher Talks. They just consist of a teacher against a white background telling us about maths and whatever. The first lesson, for 5-7 year olds, is great for when you're trying to practice exercises like punches, kicks and jumps through counting and duck and cow noises. Strange....

Next, we have CBBC Live Lessons. Today's lesson is set at Chester Zoo, but what's shocking is that not only did Naomi almost die, but they used the word 'Sex'. In a kids' show. Bravo, CBBC, you're aiming for adults now. During lesson breaks, they show this montage of all the animals at Chester Zoo with a timer in the corner. That's relaxing.

Authors Live is next, and it's soooooo boring! Even the audience seems to be bored watching. It features Cressida Cowell, the creator of the How To Train Your Dragon book series and the Wizards Of Once. It would be much better if there was a show with Tommy Donbavand.

Springwatch Wildlife Academy - I love the little school shield-like logo they had featuring a squirrel and a rabbit, and the country farm where Maddie hosts, but when that group of girls came in, it showed how much CBBC wanted to bring lesbians together! The girls looked as though they're kissing! Yuck!

Blow Your Mind is much better, because it's a show that came before the whole Coronavirus thing started and CBBC went downhill. Chris and Xand host and show images of Chris Packham from Springwatch and The Really Wild Show putting crows and cockatoos to the test as the two doctors comment on their actions. I wish I'd watched it when I was 15, along with Strange Hill High...sigh....I miss Mitchell, Becky and Templeton...

The sad news is, I miss Scream Street too, but there's one thing I'll never miss...BLUEY ON CBEEBIES!!!
