On 24 November 2009, S4C announced that the programme would be axed as part of a major revamp of the station's youth programming.[1] The last edition of Uned 5 was broadcast on Sunday 30 May 2010.

Format

The show was broadcast from a purpose-built 'house' at a studio in Caernarfon, and featured celebrity guests, news items, lively chat, bands, sketches and filmed interviews. Despite the obvious ties to The Big Breakfast, the show originally had more in common with the BBC's Blue Peter, until later relaunches saw Uned 5 target an older, teenage audience.

Presenters

During its time on air, Uned 5 was fronted by 21 presenters – many of whom gone on to present further shows on S4C and other channels, notably Rhodri Owen who became a reporter for the BBC travel show Holiday and Gethin Jones who went on to present Blue Peter.

The presenters are mostly remembered in the following line-ups:

  • The original presenting line-up: Nia Dafydd, Garmon Emyr and Gaynor Davies
