Bring It On was a BBC/ CBBC television series which started around September 2001 and ended around October 2003. The show lasted for three series, each containing seven or eight episodes, with there being around twenty two episodes of the show.

Summary

The show started out with two presenters Dick and Dom (Richard McCourt and Dominic Wood) who appeared in around twelve episodes of the show. In later series a "girls team" of presenters were added to the show which consisted of Fran Beauman and Ania Dykczak. Reggie Yates and Devin Griffin later appeared.

The premise of the show was that in each episode of the show the team of the week (either Dick & Dom or Fran and Ania) were challenged to learn a new skill within a five day period, getting professional level training along the way. At the end they would have to demonstrate/ perform the skill to a crowd and be judged by a professional.
