- Can you explain your repeat pattern and why we sometimes see the same programme twice in one day?
As is the case with most cable and satellite channels, repeats are a feature of our schedules. Research constantly tells us that viewers will 'channel hop' between channels, rather than watch any one channel for a period of time. We are also aware that our channel is often one of many which is available to our audience. Our programmes are repeated on different days, and at varying times of the day, to make them accessible to as many viewers as possible. That said, we constantly invest in new programmes for CBeebies and we show around 2,500 new hours of programming every year. As CBeebies grows, we are doing all that we can to improve the range of programmes, to introduce a higher number of new shows to the channel, and to reduce the level of repeats – and we're committed to continue doing so.
- Why have you stopped showing my favourite programme?
Our schedules are constantly evolving as a result of audience feedback and viewer preferences, and sometimes popular programmes take a break between series. We are always delighted to hear programme requests from viewers, and we welcome comments on our schedules. Although your favourite programmes might not be showing at the moment, they may return in future.
- Can my child participate in one of your programmes?
Unfortunately this is not possible. The children who take part in CBeebies programmes are usually from the nurseries involved in the original filming or recording, or who have a specific link to the subject matter. As the majority of programmes on CBeebies are acquired and not produced directly by us, we are unfortunately unable to help you with queries of this nature. For details about audience tickets for shows filmed in the UK, you may find it useful to visit the BBC’s Shows, Tours & Events site -

- I have a question for Nina & The Neurons - how can I submit this?
As we don’t produce Nina & The Neurons, we can’t accept questions for the show and, due to the reasons above, we are unable to accept requests to appear on the show. However, we are always grateful for comments about the show, and we will post them on the site, as other viewers are often interested by the thought-provoking questions which our viewers want to share with Nina and the gang.

- I am experiencing problems watching CBeebies and I’d like to report a technical fault – what can I do?
If you are experiencing technical problems with any of our channel, please contact your operator first. If they are unable to help, please get in touch with us. In order to investigate the problem for you fully, we will need the details of the dates and times at which the problem occurred, the name of the programme if possible, and the country in which you are watching. If you can also tell us through which operator you receive CBeebies, this would be really helpful.
