SMarteenies[1] is a children's art programme produced by BBC's in-house children's division aimed at pre-school audiences.
It was a spin-off of the CBBC programme SMart, and aired on CBeebies.
[2] The series was presented by the four then-current presenters from the original SMart - Jay Burridge, Lizi Botham[3] (referred to as "Bizi Lizi"), Kirsten O'Brien and Mark Speight.
Each presenter had a corresponding colour, represented through a coloured T-shirt with the show's logo on it - Blue for Jay, Yellow for Lizi, Sky for Kirsten and Red for Mark.
Each of the presenters hosted two different segments, which alternated every other episode.
The programme started with the four presenters standing in a row determining who was to do the first piece (with the rhyme: "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, SMarteenies guess who'll have a go"), with the large CGI paintbrush from the show's logo flying above their heads like a rocket choosing the presenter and they would transition over to the segment.
Following each piece, the programme returned to this screen to select the next presenter.
The series ran on CBeebies from its launch in February 2002 until 2003, with reruns broadcasting until January 2008.
The show was axed from CBeebies afterwards following the death of presenter Mark Speight's fiancée Natasha Collins and his subsequent suicide.
[4] Until its suspension, Speight and O'Brien were the only remaining presenters of the principal show SMart, as Burridge and Botham had left.
The series aired in Australia on the local version of CBeebies, and was the only channel that still broadcast the show, airing the series until 2017.
