When Romeo Met Juliet
One city, two schools, eight weeks and a slot
in a major theatre to put on a professional production of Shakespeare's
most famous love story. What will happen when Romeo meets Juliet?
In 91Èȱ¬ Two's new three-part series, Paul Roseby, the Artistic Director
of the National Youth Theatre, brings together two schools from opposite
sides of the same city in a unique experiment. Each school will be cast
as one of the two feuding families at the heart of the play. Romeo and his
Montague clan come from a Coventry city centre comprehensive while Juliet
and the Capulets are from a Catholic school in the city's northern suburbs.
The unique Shakespeare performance by the two schools that forms the climax
of When Romeo Met Juliet is available in its entirety on the red
button, complete with special programme notes. Filmed live at Coventry's
Belgrade Theatre and screened to an audience outside as well as inside,
it features an original score performed by a band made up of pupils from
both schools.

see the best of Series 2, show 1.
But the excitement doesn't stop there.

CBeebies Red Button
91Èȱ¬ Red Button welcomes younger viewers and grown-ups
with a sense of adventure to a big, bright and fun new world. The CBeebies
interactive service has relaunched!
Now your children's favourite characters are at the heart of the interactive
TV experience. A big, new and bright carousel now greets visitors providing
easy access to games, other children's interactive services such as karaoke
or quizzes, birthdays and star of the week messages.
Different Games
Reflecting the popularity of games for the young audience, a new range of
activities has been specially created. The updated service brings with it
brand new games for some of the most popular shows on CBeebies, including
In The Night Garden and The Green Balloon Club. These new
games replace the old ones, which had become increasingly outdated.
Satellite and digital terrestrial viewers will have slightly different offerings from one another. This has enabled us to offer the best games tailored to each system.
91Èȱ¬ Children's producer Damian Vicary discusses the service on the Press Red blog.
CBeebies Red Button is available now on the CBeebies
channel, and via page 5900 on other channels.

Also, why has red button been put on the internet blog rather than the tv blog? The red button is available on the TV, as far as I know its not on the internet yet (if it is, please could someone send me the URL? I would prefer to access this sort of thing on my computer than TV).
Sorry to sound so negative. I'm sure there are loads of great things on the red button. I just think there are better places to get this information across (/programmes for schedules, tv blog for announcements). Keep up the good work.

Anyhow, for once I've found out a Diamond League meeting is on the red button before it's actually aired - only to now discover it won't be on Freeview. Was also planning to watch Scotland v Argentina tonight too - but no, that's not on Freeview either.
Apparently playing along with In it to Win It and some recorded content about Romeo and Juliet is deemed more worthy of a Freeview slot tonight. I am not getting the service I am paying for - very, very annoyed!
P.S. Shameful how generic the World Cup interactive service is now - back in the olden days you'd have given it a nice tailor made skin for the event. I know you've standardised the layout for practical and cost reasons, but surely it can't take much to dress it up a bit for such major events, especially when insignificant one-off content on the red button often gets a whole look of it's own.

Can anybody help me?? I've tried the usual rebooting etc. Am gutted that i've missed early practise sessions of the Belgian Grand Prix yesterday and would have liked to see it this morning before qualifiying. Thanks
