CBBC presenters celebrate 30 Years of Children's BBC

Hacker's Birthday Bash: 30 Years of Children's BBC
Hacker T Dog throws a party to celebrate 30 years of live CBBC presentation. Dick and Dom and Phillip Schofield are among the stars looking back at their time as CBBC presenters.

[@zdcosner3766]

They should have had a celebration on the weekend where they would show all the past CBBC shows for the entire 2 days.

[@Angelic_Storm]

+ZD Cosner Yep. Even better, for a whole week. And each day, have a past CBBC presenter presenting for the afternoon, all the old CBBC shows from their respective eras. It would be awesome to see Phillip, Gordon, Andy Crane, Wilson, Edd, and Andi Peters back in the Broom Cupboard, presenting the old school shows again, even for just one day.

[@maisie588]

+Angelic Storm if only that happened it would have been amazing

[@SamsonatorYTP]

This is equally as good.

[@furnessespeon]

ZD Cosner I think that’s what CITV did some time ago.

[@jb_redx9014]

@@furnessespeon yea in 2012 they had a 90s week and got original host's of shows like jungle and other shows

I get so emotional seeing Ed and Oucho every time I watch this.

[@JewelKnightJess]

I'm 34 and grew up watching so many of these presenters. This was a huge trip down memory lane. I used to love the wacky broom cupboard antics. Andi Peters looks amazing.

[@HighTen_Melanie]

This makes me feel old! I watched the first CBBC. I'm 42 and remember Philip Scofield, Gordon the Gopher Andy Peters and Ed the Duck.

[@LexVanguard2004]

This was my era of CBBC, the one with Cel, Ian, Yonko, Katie, Karim and Lauren with that green graffiti-looking logo. I remember watching this live when I was 10, such good memories :)

[@BluetheFortune2006]

I wish they do the same thing again when CBBC turns 40 in 2025, this in my opinion was one of the best things that the Children's channel has ever received rather than having a live continuity that doesn't have any big plans.

[@LexVanguard2004]

I hope so. I watched this live when I was 10, I'd definitely watch the 40th.

[@benfisher1376]

I thought that their 30th anniversary was rubbish. ITV had a whole weekend of retrospectives, even showing some old shows. I remember the broomcupboard starting in 1985 as a 7 year old, and watched till the early 90s. I hope for their 40th anniversary next year they do something better than just interview old presenters for an hour.

[@sallyjohnson5906]

Ah, I loved Edd and Oucho, they even go there own show called Edd and Oucho's marvelous adventure I believe. Good times.

[@benfisher1376]

You're a baby lol my era was 1985 - 1994. Well, actually I was watching BBC Childrens before the broomcupboard and its rebrand. 😂

[@Angelic_Storm]

The best part of this was definitely seeing Andi Peters and Edd back in the original Broom Cupboard, and singing the Chipmunks theme. I remember Andi doing that when he originally presented Children's BBC back in the early 90's. Lol Must admit, i got misty eyed seeing that being recreated all these years later. The only thing that could have topped that, is if Phillip Schofield had sang the Ulysses or Mysterious Cities Of Gold themes as he did back in the day. xD Phillip Schofield, Andi Peters, and even Andy Crane were wonderful kids tv presenters, and gave me lots of great memories growing up with Children's BBC. Legends all!

[@Jxw238]

Used to watch cBbC from 2006-2014, stoped wathging as they got rid of the old amazing charrictors like ian, well the ones who were in 2011, the cactus and the thing in the shredder, aww those were the best days. Every morning id wake up at 6:55 and go down stairs to see the broadcast start...

[@georgemacpherson1992]

I last watched cbbc back in 2009 as after that I left to finish my school time in Greece until 2011 then when I came back to Britain I went to a further education college that I had to get up early and since 2013 I started working. I will never forget the 90's & 00's cbbc

[@weirdskyfan6428]

I love the bit at the start with Andi Peters.

[@Red-Red-Red-Red]

21:19 - I was one of the many participants on Maggot Moments. I collected 8 Apples but didn't get back to the finishing base. But I still won the star prize (Gameboy) along with autographs of Andi, Toby, and Zöe, and a CBBC pen which still writes to this day.

Incidentally At 19:06 my picture of Andi in a Grange Hill uniform was in the background there in 1991 on that footage.

[@MrDannyDetail]

Thank you soooo much for uploading this, my recording failed while I was at work and iPlayer never works for me so I wouldn't have seen it without your upload. It brings back so many happy memories from my childhood, but I think the bit of this I enjoyed the most was singing along to the theme tune of Alvin and the Chipmunks with Andi and Edd for the first time in about 25 years. It has left me asking one question though.... when did I get so old?

[@sirmugman]

7:45 it really shows how much there was, your notice the record player with kids records also those blue things in that shot are those 8-tracks tapes or back up computer thingys?

[@northernanorak]

They're tape cartridges, similar concept to 8 track but containing standard audio tape. They were used for music played during breakdowns and the national anthem at closedown. Probably also used for Edd's screaming fans.

[@edbadyt]

sirmugman we didn't really have 8 track in he UK. It's probably something called an NAB cart that radio stations used for jingles. I only know this because Techmoan did a KZbin video on it.

The broom cupboard/ going live and live & kicking was great tv I would only watch about 2-3 shows all week on citv much preferred cbbc

[@DrumsTheWord]

I'ma 40 year old man saying this...but the "cocker" catch phrase soon gets boring. Bring back the "squeeks" and the "quacks" and let the kids imagine what the puppets are saying. Do not question me. It is late and I am lost on KZbin.

[@WindowsFanShorts]

Hacker's catchphrase is getting old, especially since he's been around for 15 full years on CBBC and without Iain for 11 of them.

[@andreb2062]

I'd be watching Cbbc right now.... if it was available in my country
