Been off work...

With a fairly bad asthma "do" - hoping to go back tomorrow, largely because we're having holes put in our kitchen wall (for an extractor fan, not some weird game we like to play every so often in the Smith household. Although you should see our dining room. Like a Swiss cheese...)

Anyway this enforced absence has forced me, forced me to watch CBBC, or Children's BBC as we used to call it. And, whilst not wanting to sound like an old "they-don't make-'em-like-they used-to"-type buffer, the truth is, they... erm... don't.

Have a look at it (3:25-is onwards, BBC1) and then loook at the above website. On it, you'll find a link saying "Backstage"; follow that, and it'll take you'll find one saying "past presenters". Click on that and you'll see Children's BBC at its best, with Messrs Schofield, Crane, Duck and Gopher (and a few others as well). Revel in the nostalgia.

Meanwhile, another thunderstorm rolls by...
