SMart

SMart was a British CBBC television programme based on art, which began in 1994 and ended in 2009.

[citation needed] The original theme tune was composed by Kjartan Poskitt, famous for the Murderous Maths series of books.

This new format also allowed for episodes of The Fairly OddParents (and sometimes Thumb Wrestling Federation) to be aired halfway in.

[citation needed] Following the death of presenter Mark Speight's fiancée Natasha Collins in January 2008, repeats of the show and its CBeebies spin-off SMarteenies were suspended.

[2] The format was utilised again when a new series began with a new timeslot on Sunday 29 June 2008, airing on CBBC on BBC Two, still presented by Kirsten O'Brien and Mike Fischetti.

It starred Kirsten O'Brien, Mark Speight, Jay Burridge and Lizi Botham.

This programme was specifically aimed at a younger demographic, roughly from 3–6 years old on was aired on CBeebies.

In March 2011, CBBC started to air Deadly Art which followed a very similar format to SMart and also stars Mike Fischetti.
