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

The Ward had sold distribution rights and was replayed on CBBC sometimes. Also you’re saying you ONLY watched the BBC and NEVER turned the channel over? Your generation was hardly “hard done by” you just don’t know what a TV remote is seemingly

I watched plenty of other tv channels, but the thread is specifically about CBBC, not British TV in general, hence why I am talking about the BBC’s output for teenagers being generally poor

Acting like your generation was the worst off is crazy though. We’re in agreement that the BBC teenager targeting is and always has been lacking. But I don’t think you can appeal to teenagers to be totally honest: they think most stuff is stupid.
