The show continues to be repeated on ITV's children's channel, CITV.

Brian and Sophie are rarely "Jerkasses" and mostly "Jerks With Hearts of Gold" at worst. While Josh goes more into Jerkass, but as Nice, Mean and In-Between proves, he certainly has a nicer side.


** Brian and Sophie can be this most of the time, due to their childish selfishness. However..
