The Return To L&K
In February 2002, with the CBBC Channel having just launched, Nihal and Sarra Elgan were on the CBBC Channel presenting The Saturday Show Extra which ran parallel to the main programme. It saw a new studio and new graphics take place. The new set consisted of a couch underneath a balcony. Obviously there was a stage on the other side of the studio, once again an SM:TV style convention. The relaunch also saw more audience participation at home. The show wasn't proving to be a success so far but despite this, it was given the benefit of the doubt.
In July 2002, Joe Mace didn't want his contract renewing so Dani Behr also quit the show. The Saturday Show was about to be axed but the much younger and child friendly pairing of Fearne Cotton and Simon Grant agreed to take the slot.
Tiny and Mr Duk remained on the show with the new presenters, until Dave Chapman and Damian Farrell left the show in December 2002.

Famous quotes containing the word return:
“I never saw so sweet a face
As that I stood before:
My heart has left its dwelling-place
And can return no more.”
—John Clare (1793–1864)
