Before we get to the recordings, I think I should talk about the continuity bits around these Pokemon recordings. I shared a video of a few of them a while back. You might wonder why I haven’t shared more of these. It’s mostly because they appear to be using the same handful of continuity ‘links’ every day. It wasn’t so bad when it was just a voiceover man saying “Cartoon starting in three.. two.. one…” but they’ve recently done these new ones, with a strange Doctor Who cosplayer doing an Italian accent and his friends, and the evil Doctor Poo Pants, and it seems like it’s the same two minutes at the start of every one of these Pokemon episodes. OK, I know these things can’t be customised, but this still seems pretty slapdash. Almost as if they don’t think kids need anything good to watch.

Anyway, first today is a repeat of Pokemon Battle Dimension – Pokemon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu (Part One)

Media Centre Description: Ash continues his quest to become the greatest Pokemon trainer ever. He travels through the Sinnoh region, where he is challenged in a number of thrilling battles, and strikes up a friendship with a novice trainer named Dawn.

The recording ends with the start of Ben 10.

The other recording is a repeat of Primeval – Underwater Menace.

The description here is not the description of this episode, it’s for the next one.

Media Centre Description: When a young girl chases her dog through an anomaly, she finds herself trapped in a dangerous new world of deserts and twinkling stars. Her amazement quickly turns to panic when giant Silurian scorpions rise up out of the sand. Cutter and Stephen set out to rescue her, but when the anomaly closes all three of them get marooned on the other side. Will they ever be able to find their way home?

After this the recording ends with the start of The Cube.
