Is it possible it aired on another channel? CITV? Tiny Pop?
no, i didn't have any of those channels back then.

In 2006? Yes you did. CITV is a Freeview channel, and it launched in 2006. It's impossible to have CBBC and Cbeebies and not also have CITV.
no, i wasn't in the uk. my service provider(?) only provided access to cbeebies and bbc news or whatever. if i did have citv, i probably didn't watch it.

cbeebies. don't remember the time, but i watched it somewhere between 2006-2013. might be older, though.
each episode was a story acted out by kids on a cgi backdrop.
i remember one of the episodes rather clearly, so i'll tell y'all about that.
i think this episode's story was about merlin/myrddin ( of king arthur fame )? so around the beginning, merlin walks in. then the narrator ( also a kid, everyone in this show is a kid ) says "no, the great OLD wizard!" or something because they specified that merlin was old and the actor is visibly very young. then a fake beard appears on the actor and the narrator is satisfied. also there was this song that went "merlin, merlin, the great wizard who [something i can't remember]" that the narrator and an invisible chorus sang whenever the wizard used his magic.
i tried looking at cbeebies ( and cbbc! ) shows from this time but i just can't find it! also the "merlin, merlin" song has been stuck in my head for an unholy amount of time-
