The BBC has announced a series of new commissions for its Children's and Education division, focusing on engaging and educational content for young audiences. Key highlights include a revival of the classic 90s show "Gladiators," now tailored for a new generation with a focus on physical challenges and teamwork. Additionally, "Epic Pranks" is set to return for a second series, promising more elaborate and entertaining pranks. Other new shows include "Operation Ouch! Hospital Takeover," where young viewers get an inside look at medical procedures, and "Horrible Histories," which continues to make history fun and accessible. The lineup also features "Blue Peter: Unleashed," expanding the iconic show's format to include more adventurous and educational content. These commissions aim to blend entertainment with learning, promoting values like resilience, creativity, and curiosity among children.
