Nickelodeon Specials

Over the years Nickelodeon have had many special programmes.

• Red Hot Lobster Tour/Nick on the Road 1996–2004 - Hosted by various Nickelodeon presenters over the years, a road show where network personalities interacted with children at certain stops and aired network programming.
• Paint Your Town Orange - Summer 1995 - A series of many short films (around 3 minutes in length), where viewers showed off the best aspects of where they live. Children acted as presenters in this programme, and also recorded advert bumpers for the network, which were screened to the summer of 2005.
• Coast to Coast - Summer 1996 - A series of thirty minute episodes tracking eight Nickelodeon viewers on holiday on a coast-to-coast trip to the United States. The programme featured two Nickelodeon viewers from England, as well as two from Scotland, two from Germany and two from Australia. Involved in the production of the programme was Kate Humble, who later presented wildlife and science programmes for the BBC.
• Nick-A-Lottery - 1995-1996 - Cable or satellite subscribers were sent a 'Nick-A-Lottery' card, a plastic card with numbers printed on. Presenters regularly gave out numbers which if matched with the numbers on the card would entitle the viewer to win a prize. Winners had to call via freephone to confirm their winning card within the alloted time.
