Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers (My Version)

Luke, Resus, Cleo, Bluey, Bingo and I are roommates. We’ve been this way ever since I was born. In fact, they’re almost like siblings to me. My mum was an expert filmmaker under contract from the BBC, but we didn’t mind. We’d share in everything together. We played games. We rode our bikes in the park. We even shared pieces of chocolate cake after tea. Even though I’m only six, I am lucky enough to have a job that no child has ever done before - filming TV series. I often get my roommates to star in my series.

Back in 2015, a Scream Street TV series was commissioned. Factory Create, a studio in Manchester, filmed a pilot with a silent stand in to replace the real Luke, but then when the pilot was pitched to the BBC, they loved it, and recruited my roommates to star in Scream Street. The series became a massive success, airing on CBBC starting from Halloween of that year. It aired all year, every year, and spawned a fandom of nearly 1,000. It became the top-rated programme on CBBC, and no other show like it had aired on the network before - apart from Strange Hill High of course.

In fact, Scream Street became so successful the show became part of a travelling convention named X-Citecon. If you don’t know what X-Citecon is, X-Citecon is a convention which travels around the world delivering exciting things that are coming up each year. We sit at our stand selling Scream Street T-shirts and TV tie in books such as Negatives Attract and Uninvited Guests, while our manager Pinkie Pie goes around, looking at the stands and introducing those who have come to speak about the new exciting things on stage. The reason why we joined the convention was because Scream Street was labelled ‘The Most Exciting TV Series In The World Ever’ by critics. People loved the everyday situations my roommates got into.

But from 2018 to 2020, the series took a break. Luke, Resus and Cleo desperately needed it, but it was Bluey and Bingo’s time to shine, invited to Australia to film their show Bluey. Their parents were played by two Heeler dog actors. Instantly, Bluey became an instant hit with preschoolers and was the next exciting thing - it actually became a sensation in Australia too. People would look at Bluey and say, “Can I have your autograph, Bluey?” or “You’re the best cartoon dog ever!” Children would run up to Bluey and hug her.

However, the trouble for Scream Street began when the show returned to CBBC in October 2021. CBBC was experiencing major backlash because Scream Street wasn’t airing, and as a result, they started to heavily advertise iPlayer and only air the show on Halloween from now on. Whenever the second series, which featured a beloved character named Six and an even more beloved scientist named Dr F, came onto giant screens in the city, everyone was booing the show, including us, because there were other actors playing Luke, Resus and Cleo in the series. CBBC experienced low ratings already, thank god.
