The schedule is not always in the same order
Style Download was not featured in episode 5, 6 and 13. Usually Georgia presents Style download, but for 3 episodes Dani Harmer guest presented and did the style download.
This is part of the show where all 6 presenters mention a topic each and decide whether it is hot or not. If there is a draw (called three-be-three) or the presenters cannot decide, they will play a game of rock, paper, scissors to decide, this happens a few times. If they think that the topic is hot then they sit on one sofa, if they think that the topic is not hot then they sit on the other sofa. On a few occasions the presenters have asked the studio audience for their opinion. Jason Derulo appeared for Hot Or Not in episode 13 and Tom and Nathan from The Wanted in the Christmas Special.
Every week there is a music tribute download where viewers can upload them doing a music video to that week's song and it will be shown that week. You can go to the CBBC website to upload your video.

On episode 8, they did "Hello" by Martin Solveig and Dragonette as they were celebrating the mark of Wimbledon. For the last episode it was Ridin' Solo by Jason Derulo and he was in the studio to see the tributes.
At the end of each episode, Dionne Bromfield, along with the audience, sing a song together the lyrics come onto the screen for the viewers at home. However on the last episode she was joined on stage by Tyger, Ceallach, Richard and Aidan. Songs that she has sang include Eliza Doolittle's 'Pack Up', Girls Aloud's 'The Promise', Jessie J's 'Price Tag', Miley Cyrus's 'Party in the USA', Cee Lo Green's 'Forget You', and Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way'.
