Related Shows


To sum it up quickly, a related show is a show that has one of the presenters in it (but only if they're the main presenter). I am hoping this makes sense because I will cry if it doesn't. Anyway, there is a lot of them so I'll split them into two main categories to save you time.

Important Related Shows (that I know of):
- Noel's House Party: A Saturday evening show starring Noel Edmonds, and is likely the most beloved of its genre. If you don't know the show by name, then you'll likely recognize this guy from it.
- Cheggers Plays Pop: A panel show that stars Keith Chegwin as he makes children duke it out for absolutely no reason.
- Newsround: THE first news based show meant for children. Yes, weird concept I know. John Craven was the creator of it, and was a major presenter in it up until 1989.
- Pop Quiz: Celebrities (98% of the time its musicians) duke it out in music trivia. Hosted by Mike Read.

Not as important, but still fun to mention:
- Blue Peter: THE longest running children's show ever (as of Sep. 23, 2025 anyway), which had Sarah Greene as one of the main presenters from 1980-1983.
- Gordon the Gopher: A TV show starring the titular character and Phillip Schofield. The latter isn't a very good actor in this by the way.
