Came across this video a week ago on Youtube. Sometimes, the UK version of CN got very lucky and allowed voice actors/actresses to reprise their roles (e.g. Bloo and Omi) and host seasonal blocks filled with back-to-back episodes and phone-in competitions (until the latter got banned due to scandals).
10 years ago, they got extremely lucky and managed to rein in all three voice actors for Grim, Billy, and Mandy. Unlike the other two occasions mentioned in the last paragraph, where it was all done live, the Billy & Mandy blocks were all pre-recorded. In addition, until Uncle Grandpa popped his head in last year, the trio were the last new cartoon hosts of a seasonal block in the UK. [Omi would be the last, returned by popular demand]
If by some sheer luck you’re reading this, @greydelisle, on behalf of all the UK bloggers growing up watching Cartoon Network, I’d like to thank you, Richard, and Greg for making that particular half term so special for us!
