Saturday Aardvark
Due to Fully Booked moving to Sundays, displacing BBC Two's Sunday morning sequence of CBBC links, the Saturday morning slot on BBC One was available, but the BBC would not commission another longform programme. Instead, the CBBC links displaced from Sunday were transported across to the Saturday slot, often airing under the title Saturday Aardvark (in reference to the character Otis the Aardvark, who would present the slot, usually with Kirsten O'Brien). During summer 1999, the strand was renamed "Planet Saturday".

Famous quotes containing the word saturday:
“The return of the asymmetrical Saturday was one of those small events that were interior, local, almost civic and which, in tranquil lives and closed societies, create a sort of national bond and become the favorite theme of conversation, of jokes and of stories exaggerated with pleasure: it would have been a ready- made seed for a legendary cycle, had any of us leanings toward the epic.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
