The Remote

In 2014, the kids of the DG took up a bizarre challenge to see who watches what on telly.

Now it's back, except the kids aren't fighting over the TV this time, they're fighting over the remote. Sid wants to watch his space programme, and a sandwich is being made in the kitchen. Which programmes do you think the kids of the DG love watching?

Watch 'Endurance' first to catch up with the whole shebang:

Lindsey's Going Away...

Lindsey helped make a golden age of Blue Peter and CBBC. She hasn't made it possible without Radzi, Barney, Shelley, Richie, Henry, Mwaksy and Adam, and she got us through the worst moments of CBBC...like a certain murderer who loves horses. Read more from this Newsround article:

Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Journal - 25.6.21

This morning, I wrote the final story of this week, I.B.F.Fs & The Secret Park. It's colourful and bright, just like a dreamscape, and sees me, Luke, Resus and Cleo bored with the local playground, until we go to a park never explored before, with roses everywhere, a fountain, a carousel with pink, white, yellow and red horses and glowing neon-coloured stepping stones that lead us to a field of brown and white horses.

I've decided to do something about watching Bluey in mornings - I'll watch them on iPlayer.

Also, I have trapped wind.

Faustian Slip/Fangs For The Memories

Whoever knew the Count loved teenage horror romance? And whoever knew gross out humor would still be present in the later, more darker seasons of the show?! The first episode, 'Faustian Slip', sees Renfield dress up as a woman in order to pay the Blood Brotherhood out, while Vlad's mother returns. Be sure to watch Mummy Returns first before you see 'Faustian Slip':

Then, the next episode brings us back to the familiar Young Dracula, with its gross out humor and knowledgeable sense of fun that made us love the Dracula family as much as we love Tracy Beaker through memories talked about by Vlad to his new friend Erin.
