Christian children's television online free

Further down this page you can find free, totally free Christian TV for kids.

Media is changing, we can all see that.  Maybe it's not so obvious to the very young, the very people who will be watching out wonderful new Christian kids' TV show Jovis Bon-Hovis, (formerly Jovis Bon-Hovis and the Creation Crew) but to anybody over ten it's clear it's changing rapidly.

Until very recently there hasn't been much in the way of truly free Christian content, even less Christian children's content. With terrestrial TV in the UK, even if we wanted to watch ITV, channel 4 or 5, we still had to pay a license fee.  If we use 'freeview', we still have to pay a license fee for the BBC's content.

Now for those of us who get internet bundled with our phone and TV subscription, we might finally be able to say that watching Christian kids' shows like Jovis Bon-Hovis is truly free for the first time.

Earlier this year, UCB, who partner with us to produce our show, removed themselves from SKY altogether, moving to an entirely online streaming format.  Since that happened I have had more people come to me and say they have discovered UCB than previously when they were on SKY! Now you can watch UCB, with all it's wonderful content (including Jovis Bon-Hovis of course) on any number of devices from your XBox or Playstation, mobile phone, tablet, PC, Apple TV, smart TV, Freeview HD, Chromecast...the list goes on!

So why not join the fun with Jovis Bon-Hovis and his pals the Creation Crew?  The show encourages children that a relationship with God belongs to them, it's relevant and interesting to them in the context of a normal child's experience.  Covering topics children relate to like bullying, kindness, stealing, friendship, Christmas and so much more, Jovis always uses the good advice of his friends and of course the Bible to discover the right way to solve his problems with Jesus' guidance.

Kids just love Jovis Bon-Hovis, and season 3, which is airing now, has all-new sets as well as some brand new friends in the garden! With a new episode each week, you can watch Jovis at these times:

Monday at 4.30

Wednesday at 8am

Thursday at 4pm

Friday at 7.30pm

Saturday at 8.30am.

Jovis Bon-Hovis season 3 air dates and how to view

We are delighted to announce that we have air dates for the shiny new season of Jovis Bon-Hovis!  With all new sets and characters, season 3 promises to be a real step forward in Christian kids entertainment.

You may notice we have dropped 'and the Creation Crew' from the title.  Don't worry!  All your favourite characters are still here, we just thought it was a bit of a mouthful and we wanted to differentiate between the new and old seasons.

So, if you're ready for a big barrel of laughs (and Monkeys!) then here's when and how to watch:

Making Christian kids TV at UCB Kids.

Here at the UCB TV studios again today, helping out with Andi and Jack's new links for the summer holidays. Great fun!

They really add some brightness and fun to the links between the shows, 'Broom Cupboard" style. If you're not in the UK, it was a well known puppet and presenter links section on BBC1 in the eighties.

Stripy Monkey will be doing Jacks 'Either Or" slot, scary! Poor Monkey will be bombarded with questions, and there's no script! It's as impromptu and scary as it looks!

If your kids aren't already watching UCB in the mornings, it's time for a change! We really are offering a viable alternative to secular kids TV programming, and your children will love it!

Making sock puppets

Lovely time for Betsy doing some puppet making at church this weekend! No don't worry, this is not the introduction of a new character into the Creation Crew!

Kids TV show production diary

So the performance licenses have all been approved for the Creation Crew Kids, Betsy Bella and Flossie. This means they can work on and off set, and even take occasional half days off school for narration and voice over work.

Did you notice that Early Bird and Dora Mouse are voice by Betsy and Bella respectively?

It's going to be a busy day today, we have 13 VT's to film for the 'Through the Window" sections, and we're hoping to get two of them filmed in one day today.

These are filmed in and around Creation Crew HQ using an ordinary good quality handy-cam. It's shot in full HD at 60 fps, but it's quite a straightforward home use type camera. Clearly there is a lot of top-end equipment available, but the handy-cam feel is quite intimate, it's convenient and gives a quick and easy results lending an un-contrived dynamism to these sections.

We want a complete change of atmosphere, and a break from the studio pace.

This approach to film making has also meant that the VTs are as close to a genuine experience for the girls as possible. While they do take some direction such as 'Can you just do that again" or 'Wait for me to get ahead so I can film you coming towards the camera." or 'Put the boat in the water when I say go." all of the VTs do involve the children genuinely enjoying an activity which is a lot of fun for them.

In case you were wondering, VT stands for video tape, you may have heard people on TV saying 'roll vt" at which point a previously made film plays. So we call them VTs.

Production updates!

Click the above picture to order the DVDs!

Here at Creation Crew HQ we've decided it might be fun if the regular posts took the form of production updates for the next few months! 

Since we're so busy writing and producing all the great songs, Arty Crafty times, stories and pictures, scripts and so much more, we thought that it would be great to bring you along on the journey, and get everybody excited about what we're doing for the next show!

So today we are working on scripts, and it looks like Mr Bon-Hovis is in for a surprise in this episode, why is he trying to blow up all these balloons? He doesn't even know himself! Mrs Bosanti-Crayco has asked for his help, but is there something she's not telling him?

Meanwhile, Stripy Monkey waits patiently on the Mantlepiece of Creation Crew HQ for his time to shine:

Good morning all!

Have you noticed that the posts have been a little sporadic lately? Well it's all in a GREAT cause!

We have some fantastic and exciting breaking news here at Creation Crew HQ, season 2 is under way! We are scriptwriting, song writing and filming as we speak. The studio work will be filmed in August, and we expect work to be complete before Christmas 2013!

Thanks to everybody who has supported and encouraged along the way! Season two is going to be a BLAST! Building on everything we've learned from making the first 13 episodes we're going to make the next 13 more fun than you can shake a stick at!

Here's a little snippet of song time to whet your appetite:
"I have a gift that never runs out,
Something special and I always have enough,
Whenever I'm down, even wearing a frown,
I can always give a little bit of love!"
