Otis the Aardvark was the puppeteer. He also performed in a number of other Children's BBC programmes, notably as The Cat from "Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow". When "Fully Booked" moved to Sundays on BBC2, the extended Saturday CBBC was renamed "Saturday Aardvark", with Otis being a key feature. In 1996, he presented "CBBC on Nickelodeon" during school hours on "Nickelodeon" alongside Nick Junior and his co-presenter was mascot "Arthur the Ant" in front of an ice cream parlour. He left in 1997 and was replaced by his cousin Marvin who presented from a shed until the strand finished on 16 July
