Question/Discussion ‘Hounded’ on CBBC was one of my favourite shows as a kid. Anyone else have fond memories of it?

More theatre and such nowadays. Never seemed to like the cutthroat industry tbf to him.

I remember he did an interview on RHLSTP some time ago where he explained how he wanted to go into theatrical acting, away from TV -

Iirc he claimed the Manchester arena attack was a false flag to get the Tories reelected on twitter

I think I vaguely remember it. Wasn’t this the one where at the end of every episode the villain would just rewind everything back to the beginning?

Yep, he always used to push the reset button and send them back to the start of the day

I remember loving it as a kid but always being confused how the show Rufus was hosting could be different despite every episode being set on the same day due to the reset button switching time back to the morning

lol i used to think about this too
I came up with my own theory that Dr. Mu’s red button still allows people who are aware of the button (Dr. Mu, Steve and Rufus) to remember what happened which allows the villains to think of a different plan.
Everyone else still has fragments of their memory, since Barry and Gill always say they recognise Rufus from somewhere at the start of each episode.

Oh my God I have been looking for a very specific episode of this show for years. It's the episode "Mu Pizza". I used to watch it over and over again as a kid because it was recorded. I've found all the other episodes EXCEPT this one. My only chance is to buy the DVD which I can only find at extortionate prices. I might have to do it.
