CBBC’s Sunday leans on Horrible Histories and a Pokémon film

Horrible Histories at 12:35 is the best half-hour CBBC has on Sunday. It is marked as the first episode of series eight, Queen Vic’s Home Vids, and it comes during a week when the show has been on the channel on most days, so it is a familiar face with a fresh start number. If one thing is going on in a house with children of school age, this is the one.

The afternoon’s other anchor is the film. Pokémon: Zoroark: Master of Illusions, a 2010 feature, starts at 16:20 and runs 95 minutes, with an English voice cast that includes Sarah Natochenny and Sean Schemmel. It is the only film on the channel today and it takes up most of the late afternoon, which is why the schedule in that stretch looks thin around it.

Earlier, Blue Peter has a Halloween Spooktacular at 09:00. The programme has appeared on the channel on eleven days in the window, so Sunday morning is one more date for a very regular visitor. Operation Ouch! follows at 12:05, just before Horrible Histories, and makes a good double with it.

Among the smaller points: Sketchy Comedy begins at 08:30, a five-minute opener, and Total Dramarama and Submarine Jim each run twice today, with Dramarama doubling up at 17:55 and 18:05.
