Well my day is ruined :([/QUOTE]
On the afternoon of 3 January 2008 Speight called emergency services after waking up to discover Natasha Collins's body in the bath of their St John's Wood flat, in northwest London. Speight told police that he and Collins had spent the previous evening "partying", drinking wine and vodka, and taking cocaine and sleeping pills. Speight was questioned by police since he was the only other person living in the flat, and was subsequently arrested on suspicion of murder and of supplying class A drugs, but was released on bail until the first week of February. Because of this, the BBC cancelled the Saturday repeat edition of SMart. An inquest, which opened on 8 January 2008, heard that the death was not thought to be suspicious but should be "subject to further investigation". At that point, police were awaiting results of toxicology tests after a postmortem examination was inconclusive.The BBC cancelled repeat broadcasts of SMart and SMarteenies until further notice, and on 28 February Speight announced he was quitting SMart, because the "tragic loss" of Collins had left him unable to continue with the show. Speight denied any involvement with Collins's death, and on 19 March it was reported that the police were no longer considering Speight as a suspect.
In April 2008 the coroner recorded a verdict of death by misadventure in relation to Collins. The cause of death was "cocaine toxicity and immersion in hot water", according to the consultant pathologist. The inquest found that she had taken "very significant" amounts of cocaine with sleeping pills and vodka, and that she had suffered 60% burns to her body, including her tongue. The coroner noted that at some stage in the night after both Speight and Collins had gone to bed, Collins got up to have a bath. He said that it was "more likely than not" that a heart problem had caused Collins to fall unconscious while the hot tap was running. Following Collins's death, Speight moved in with Collins's mother.
Speight planned to meet with Collins's mother at Covent Garden for a coffee on the afternoon of 7 April. He was dropped off at Wood Green tube station that morning, but never showed up to meet her. Speight missed an appointment with a counsellor, but this was because of confusion over dates. Two police officers spoke to him, as he appeared "vacant", "distracted" and "deep in thought", but he refused their help. He was captured on CCTV in the afternoon taking money from a cash machine at Queen's Park station, and he subsequently boarded a southbound Bakerloo line train. He was reported missing the following day by family and friends, and his mother and the mother of Natasha Collins made a public appeal in which they urged him to make contact. Speight's father also appealed for him to get in touch.
On 13 April Speight's body was discovered hanging from the roof of MacMillan House, adjacent to London's Paddington Station, hidden from public view, six days after he died. The discovery was made by railway workers at 10:00 am, and British Transport Police confirmed that the body was Speight's on 14 April 2008. An inquest into his death opened on 16 April 2008, and a post-mortem confirmed the cause of death as hanging. It was then adjourned until 20 May. The police said Speight may have used a sixth floor fire exit to get to the area where he was found.
The report of Speight's death on the BBC's children's news programme Newsround provoked complaints that it upset young viewers. The BBC decided to avoid using the word "suicide," and instead Newsround reported that "police don't think he was killed by anyone else."
Speight's funeral was held on 28 April at St Michael and All Angels Church in Tettenhall, and hundreds went to pay their respects. The service included a performance by the choir from Tettenhall College, Speight's former school, and his coffin was carried out of the church accompanied by the theme tune of SMart. In May the inquest resumed and determined that Speight was deeply depressed from his fiancee's death. He had first tried to hang himself with his belt, which was found snapped in his pocket, and had ended up hanging himself with his shoelaces; it was also disclosed that suicide notes had been found, one in his left pocket, and one addressed to his parents in his diary at his home. The notes described how he could not "contemplate life without [Collins]". The coroner Dr Paul Knapman said there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death. In May 2008 Speight's father created a foundation, Speight Of The Art, or SP8 Of The Art, and launched it at a memorial service which took place on what would have been his 43rd birthday, 6 August 2008 at St Paul's Church in Covent Garden, London.

In 2004 the programme was the subject of a reprimand by media watchdog Ofcom after a viewer complained that Dom's T-shirt with the slogan "Morning Wood" referred to a state of male sexual excitement (rather than "(good) Morning (Dominic) Wood")

Always wanted to go on jungle run, it looked so easy! Does anyone remember an australian show that you used to have on CBBC years and years ago, I think it was based around a lighthouse and I'm certain that there was an episode involving lots of bird poo.
It's good that they waited until after the digital switchover before doing this, it would suck for analogue kids to be (further) neglected.

God, I remember watching Live & Kicking on saturday mornings.
Also, not sure which terrestrial channel it was on, but what kid's game show had a race at the end? I vaguely remember them being on go-karts and having to hit point things.
Also, I now remember watching the Generation Game and Noel Edmond's House Party on saturday nights. Shit.

Probably because the circumstances of it were incredibly tragic. The last few moments of his life had to be ghastly.
