CBBC front-loads its day and parks Stage Stars at teatime

CBBC’s Monday is quiet until the end, and the end is Stage Stars. Series 2 begins at 6.05pm with The Stage Stars Are Back!, and a three-minute preview follows at 6.55pm, so the channel is giving the show both the opening slot and the closing one of its evening. Earlier, at 2.25pm, an episode called Cast Announced is on, so the show gets three slots in a single day.

The better television is in the morning. Horrible Histories turns up at 9.25am for 25 minutes, and Operation Ouch! follows at 10.20 for half an hour. Those two are the strongest reasons to switch on before lunch. Horrible Histories airs on eight days in the schedule window, Operation Ouch! on nine, so neither is rare, but both are the sort of thing that rewards a second look.

Mid-afternoon is a stretch of animation, with Duck and Frog and Boy Girl Dog Cat Mouse Cheese running on every day of the window. The Next Step: Cheer plays twice, at 2pm and 6.30pm. Pablo: Next Level begins at episode one at 4.15pm, a pre-tea starter for younger viewers.

Pick: Stage Stars at 6.05pm.
