Julie Graham and James Nelson-Joyce supply the menace, while Owain Wyn Evans begins a cycling challenge across all four UK nations.

POV: The Tweenies Is A Crime Thriller 🤣

James Nelson-Joyce lowers his voice to a tense whisper. Julie Graham joins in with deadly seriousness, and the host struggles to keep a straight face. The script isn't a criminal confrontation: it's The Tweenies theme.

BBC Radio 2's "POV: The Tweenies Is A Crime Thriller 🤣" borrows the dramatic style of This City Is Ours for a distinctly unlikely crossover. Graham's sudden, forceful delivery finally has the host covering her mouth. Once the reading is finished, the studio breaks into laughter. "Are you scared?" Graham asks.

At roughly 14,000 views, it was the most watched of the channel's four new uploads. The other three shifted from pretend peril to real exertion: Owain Wyn Evans beginning his Children in Need cycling challenge through all four UK nations. Miley Cyrus motivation, Susan Calman's encouragement and words of wisdom from Olympic cycling champion Sir Chris Hoy each got their own clip.

The Celebrity Traitors reunion remains the channel's busiest video right now. Romesh Ranganathan's studio gathering with Sebastian Croft, King Kenny and Leigh-Anne Pinnock is approaching 300,000 views, with round-table decisions and post-filming encounters supplying plenty to revisit.

BBC Radio 2 added about a thousand subscribers over the week, although daily viewing is currently well below its usual level. Among nearby entertainment channels, Etalk and Shameless had larger weekly view gains. For Radio 2, the newest activity centres on Owain, with his opening-day and Susan Calman clips drawing the most daily views after the Traitors reunion.
