Storytime At Grandma's

Doing a story set in a Scooby Doo film is easy as pie - that's why I finally finished off my Luke, Resus & Cleo's Adventures In Scooby Doo & The Samurai Sword story at Grandma's. The story involves mountains, pits of water, magic biscuits, golden leather bags, elements of the forces of nature and a remote control origami bird. Here's the plan: someday, I'm going to type up the story and send it off to Factory, who makes Scream Street, and Warner Bros, who distributes Scooby Doo.

The Message

Did you know that before Scream Street made its return to television last October, the day before Part 2 of Bluey Season 2 premiered? Well last night I was granted a message I wouldn't forget - one about Bluey and Scream Street.

I was told that Bluey Season 3 will premiere on the same day more Scream Street episodes will premiere in March. I was even shown a Scream Street episode where Otto sets up a nail salon, a similar Scream Street version of Stumpfest, almost like a version of Vanity Calamity but focusing on Luke's mum instead.

I hope my Mum is right about Scream Street returning to television next March. Now I have to find out when Bluey is premiering in Australia...

Luke, Resus & Cleo's Adventures In Scooby Doo & The Samurai Sword

Inspired by today's airing of Scooby Doo & The Samurai Sword on CBBC, I did a version of the film in story form about Luke, Resus and Cleo, who become the chosen ones destined to find three elemental jewels that'll save all of Japan from a fierce Godzilla-like monster. Flying squirrels, golden eagles, water pumps and magic biscuits feature in this story! Look at the pictures below and read the story yourself. Read from the bottom to the top of the page.

Doing Stories, Classic Cartoon Style!

I've decided to do versions of the cartoon movies that air on CBBC, such as Scooby Doo & The Samurai Sword and Tom & Jerry: The Lost Dragon - in the style of classic cartoons, featuring other well known CBBC characters, mainly those from Scream Street, playing roles similar to the ones characters like Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny sometimes play in classic cartoons, playing roles from a train driver to a castaway, like in this Mickey Mouse cartoon 'The Castaway' below:

Videos I Saw At Grandma's Today

The Princess' Strawberry Cheesecake

Once I saw a story on one of my Roly Mo DVDs about a princess who celebrates her birthday with a magic spell book which turns her invisible and any princess' favourite kind of cheesecake - strawberry cheesecake. This is why I stumbled upon this video from Tasty earlier - it has lots of cheesecake recipes that you can try and bake at home.

Gemma's Response To Swashbuckle Being Featured On Big Fat Like

"What have you done?! This isn't the way Swashbuckle should be treated, not at all. The skit was offensive to pirates everywhere, and young fans watching at home were trying to join in and play along on the CBeebies website, but instead were crying. Even Cook and Line were crying over such offensive content - and grown men don't cry! Okay, maybe they do sometimes. Ever since Captain Hey-Ho appeared last year, she seemed unfamiliar. Captain Captain was much better than that, you got that?! Also, we have a CBeebies Pirate Party coming up in a few weeks, after our favourite red monster Love Monster had his sleepover with Tiniest Fluffiest Bunny. A sleepover and a pirate party? Now that sounds like fun. Usually viewers won't be sure what to watch before the New Year, but our friend Sybil knows for sure. To anyone who's ever made this stupid sketch show - eff off!!"

Join In With Big Fat Like - Early Baby Club Songs

It's time to join in with Big Fat Like!

It's songtime this week! I like to call the songs you're about to listen to early Baby Club songs because these songs are geared more towards babies and toddlers than older children, much like Big Fat Like, which may be much better if there were interactive skits where viewers reluctantly take part.

Find more Baby Club songs on the CBeebies website:
