The show includes cartoons, celebrities and games. The original presenters were Fearne Cotton, Reggie Yates and Devin Griffin (credited as DJ Devstar). In 2003, Devin left to become a pop singer in the USA and was replaced by Barney Harwood. Soon after, Fearne and Reggie left as well, so Barney was joined by Kirsten O'Brien and Rochelle Wiseman. On 26 March 2006, Rochelle Wiseman left the Smile team of presenters, and currently Barney and Kirsten present the show, with only Barney presenting the first half with the blue bear Nev. The presenters have always been joined by a cute little blue bear puppet Nev (Neville), who lives with Barney. Nev has become so popular he has even been made into a cuddly toy and various other merchandise. Fearne Cotton (born 3 September 1981) is an English television presenter and DJ.

From 5 March 2006, digital viewers were able to press the red button to access a BBCi service called eTV which allows them to switch between regular Smile and backstage. Most of the action backstage is one of the presenters hanging out with Smile's special guests and doing challenges, playing games and chatting. Smile was the first ever programme to try out eTV. Unfortunately this is not happening because of only two presenters. Prevously, viewers could also watch an extra seven minutes of programme content after the end of the main show.

Nev

Nev is a small, blue bear with patches in places and is missing part of his ear (due to the cat under his bed ("Bandit") trying to eat him). Originally, the voice of Nev was prerecorded, and his limited vocabulary played in as appropriate. However, when Nev took on a more significant role in the show, they then got a new puppeteer. (Ross Mullan) was recruited to provide the voice live. As a consequence, Nev's voice in the studio sounds distinctly different to that in the many phone-in games used on the programme. Here are a few facts about Nev:

• Cannot say long words very well and cannot sing (but he can rap well).
• He loves Duckie, Jam, Barney and Kirsten.
• He likes sleeping in.
• He calls Kirsten "Krusty" (most possibly because he can't say Kirsten).
• He doesn't like baths or scary stories.
• Growls (like a real bear would) if scared or intimidated.
• Likes dressing up.

Jam from berries Jam (also known as jelly or preserves) is a type of sweet spread or condiment made with fruits or sometimes vegetables, sugar, and sometimes pectin if the fruits natural pectin content is insufficient to produce a thick product. ...
