Ed Petrie, Chris Johnson

The one with Ed Petrie in it – puppets, gunge and big smiles. Children’s Television is such a wonderfully weird world to be a part of. It’s looked upon simultaneously as an endgame mega-goal by aspiring presenters and a career dead-end by snooty so-and- sos. But in an overwhelmingly cynical and increasingly cold media landscape, it’s comforting to know that some daft formats continue on. Chris Johnson (CBBC’s ‘Yonko’) sits down with fellow presenters and performers from the Kids' TV world to find out how on earth they ended up there themselves, and what advice they’d give to the next generation of Dick & Doms.
