CBBC saves its Halloween for teatime

CBBC keeps the daytime for animation and puts its Halloween effort at 5pm, where Blue Peter: Halloween Spooktacular runs for 25 minutes. It is the pick of a modest day.

Straight after it, at 5.25pm, comes Bro’s in Control: Fright Night!, which the listings mark as the first episode of series five. The show is on twice today, so the earlier slot at 11.45am is for anyone who wants to catch up first. Then Operation Ouch! Does Space at 5.40pm and Crookhaven at 6.10pm, a 48-minute drama, finish the evening.

For earlier in the day, Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School (1988) takes the 9.30am slot and runs 90 minutes. It is a long block of Saturday-style cartoon on a Friday, which suits a child off school.

The rest is the daily rotation of Shaun the Sheep, Danger Mouse, Newsround and the other fixtures. Nothing else needs a special trip.
