At Home With CBBC’s Raven
Raven: Lord of the Rings meets It’s a Knockout. For kids.
Raven: “Warrrrriors, yourrr task this morrrning is to make toast with Marrrmite. If you succeed in this task, you will get a rrrich reward: a golden rrrring. If you fail, I’m afrraid you will lose a life.”
Raven’s Girlfriend: Put the kettle on, love.
Raven: Before you crrross the brridge to safety, you must firrst fill the magic waterr boilerr at the mystical waterr spout. But be carrreful: the splashback demons will soak yourrr pyjamas if you fail to dirrect the waterr accurately. One miss will have verry serrious consequences: you will lose a life.
Raven’s Girlfriend: Has the postman been yet?
Raven: Postman: you have chosen the most difficult task. The way is frrraught with dangerrr, and very few survive. You must walk the path of the warriorrr and deliverr the magic message to the enchanted slot in the mysterrrious doorrr. The doorrr is guarrrded by the blind serrrpent demons, swinging battle-axes, and falling lumps of polystyrrrene cunningly disguised as rrrrocks. Beware: few walk this path and surrrvive. If you walk the path successfully, you will rrreceive a grrreat rreward. If you fail, you will lose a life. (He swirls his coat and walks briskly away.)
Raven’s Girlfriend: Is that a no?
Raven (from the toilet): You have chosen to sit on the magical mystical thrrrone. Beforre you open the book of spells, listen verry carrefully: few sit on this thrrrone and surrvive to tell the tale. When you open the book, you have just thirrty seconds to complete the task. Don’t forrrget to hold yourrr brrreath against the stench of the deprraved odour demons from the bowels of the earrrth. If you fail in this task, you will not just lose a life: you will be eliminated…
Raven’s girlfriend: Don’t forget to flush this time.
(Toilet flushes)

Although, I can’t help thinking that “Raven” might not have a girlfriend.
You sent off for that didn’t you…
Downloaded from the CBBC web site - only a “virtual” autograph, unfortunately.
Brilliant!
Oh well… my wee brother thinks I’m married to Raven. For what reason?? He believes I’m a goth… Though i have to admit that i quite like to watch it between coming home and doing homework. I’m a sad person, i know. Everyboy sais that! But it would be actually quite a bit of fun when you’d have someone in the house who seriuosly would talk like that all the time. I suppose would be rather annoying after a wee while… Anyway, I like Raven and i admit it though i’m far too old to watch it…
That’s me!
Ha Ha, that’s so funny. I love that accent and i think James Mckenzie is hot!!
Haha, I have to agree with Alex!
I love when they make th kids swim in the loch though…
poor things!
