Hello Everyone Ihave just seen cloud burst on cbbc and the screen was all mushed up and it had those stupid jelly logos they have were on both sides of the programme ,, is there and reason why this is ?????
Well that's just the CBBC Channel, isn't it. They can't just give you schools programmes as a public service anymore, they've got to remind you all the time that it's CBBC that's showing it to you - just in case you forget and think you're watching schools TV on Nickelodeon or something.
If you were cynical, you might think they were trying to get the "CBBC" brand advertised in schools whenever anybody watched TV, but of course that would be unethical so you shouldn't think that. At least it's not as bad as Channel 4, showing network trails over the ends of schools programmes - now that is an unabashed effort to advertise to children in school.
Anyway, it's nice of CBBC to be giving us not one, but two copies of their little logo today, one on top of the other, isn't it!
Perhaps we should put an on-line petition on this site to protest at the shoddy way CBBC operates. Perhaps The BBC assume nobody is watching the channel? To be honest, I didn't know it existed until I visited this site.

Sam, your problem is with the way CBBC broadcasts in widescreen, but Look & Read only takes up the middle, normal-telly-shape bit of the screen, leaving those jelly logos off to the sides.
If you have Sky, you solve this by going on Services, then System Setup, then Picture Settings, then changing Picture Format to "4:3" and Letterbox Mode to "OFF". That should give you a normal picture. Make sure to change it back to how it was before when Look & Read's finished though.
If you have cable or Freeview or something, there should be similar way to change things through the on-screen menus - post back and someone might be able to help.
i bought a copy of Dark Towers on dvd from ebay and it's mushed up aswell. I saw skyhunter yesturday and i have to say it is the best look and read ever. But i have grown up loving dark towers so i still think that is a tad better that skyhunter but TBFS i didnt like i thought it was boring but it had some nifty clifflangers thou
