CBTV (initially titled CBTV: Channel 14) is a Thames Television magazine programme for younger viewers, broadcast over four series in the 1980s.[1]

Its main presenters were the comedy duo Jim Sweeney & Steve Steen, who at the start of each show would have to sneak past the security guard (played by Harry Fielder) on the gates of Teddington Studios to get to their rooftop studio. Other presenters on the show included Anneka Rice, Paul Henley and Mike Smith.[2]
