Should CBBC commission more shows for the 9–14 bracket?

The thread on Phoenix Rise really got me thinking that CBBC doesn't show (or do) enough content for the 9–14 age group as they used to, and more widely the BBC.

CBBC now as a channel isn't quite as exciting as it used to be for a child older than about 8 (it's mostly American cartoons, and not even good ones), and all of the actually interesting shows are buried on the iPlayer, plus BBC Three isn't as strong as it used to be either. It's almost like a shadow of its former self, and there's definately more reality than there used to be (closer to ITV2).

I think CBBC (or the BBC) should commission more older skewing shows (for tweens/teens), or at least give older content more visiblity on the channel.

Phoenix Rise

Why isn’t this show on CBBC? To me it fits in what used to be CBBC but all you get now is shows that are aimed for 7-10 year olds. CBBC used to have shows that catered for teenagers 13-19 (and some even older) I’m confused why they put phoenix rise on BBC three when it’s a show about kids who got expelled forming an unbreakable bond now that they’ve been given a second chance

RARE CBBC signed memorabilia bundle from the early/mid 2010s era, collected after I appeared on CBBC as a child. This is a genuine mixed lot of original items sent out by the channel, including signed character cards, presenter photos, stickers, magnets, foam pigs, pencils and an official CBBC drawstring bag.

Includes signatures and memorabilia relating to CBBC presenters/characters including Hacker T Dog, Dodge, Karim Zeroual, Shannon Flynn, Cel Spellman, Chris Johnson, Katie Thistleton and others.

Some items are personally signed to me (“Charlie”), making this a unique one-off collection rather than standard merchandise. Great collector’s piece for CBBC fans or TV memorabilia collectors.

Included:

* Official CBBC drawstring bag

* Signed cards/photos

* Signed notes/messages

* Foam pig figures with signatures

* Magnets/stickers

* CBBC pencils

* Various CBBC character items

Signed erasers

Condition is generally good for age, though some items may show small marks or wear from storage. Please see all photos for exact condition and contents.

A very unusual nostalgic CBBC collection that you’re unlikely to see again.

£180 but open to offers
