You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.234.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 2 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Fast Forward''''' was a weekly children's magazine launched in September 1989 by the [[BBC]]<ref name=cvine>((cite web|title=Fast Forward » 1 issues|url=http://www.comicvine.com/fast-forward/4050-45552/|work=Comic Vine|accessdate=28 October 2015))</ref> to compete with ''[[Look-in]]''. It was aimed at seven- to 14-year-olds and was promoted heavily with trailers shown on [[CBBC (TV channel)|Children's BBC]]. Circulation started at 210,000 copies per week, reached a peak of 340,000 in March 1990, but fell to 150,000 by Spring 1991. ''Fast Forward'' generally sold around 40% to 50% more copies than ''Look-in'' on a weekly basis.

==Format==
The centre pages of ''Fast Forward'' magazine usually included a pull out poster. This would often be of television celebrities of the time, although on one occasion an edition was sold with [[Stereoscopy#3D glasses|3-D glasses]] and a 3-D [[Anaglyph image|anaglyphic]] poster of [[New York City|New York]].

The magazine usually contained a number of cartoon scripts of celebrities and presenters who appeared on Children's BBC, such as [[Jimmy Savile]] and [[Andi Peters]]. It also regularly contained material relating to [[Edd the Duck]] and [[Gordon the Gopher]], as well as an ''[[EastEnders]]''-based comic strip.

In September 1990, the BBC also relaunched the ''[[Number One (magazine)|Number One]]'' pop music magazine aimed mainly at girls. In early 1992, the ''Number One'' magazine was incorporated into ''Fast Forward''.

At the start, the magazine only covered BBC programmes, but from March 1991 it also covered [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] and [[Channel 4|C4]] – it was able to do so due to the deregulation of the TV listings market. (This also enabled the BBC's main television magazine, the ''[[Radio Times]]'', to include listings of rival terrestrial channels.)

''Fast Forward'' could be considered to be a replacement for a less successful earlier children's magazine, ''[[BEEB]]''. Like that earlier title, it disappeared from the market in September 1995, as had ''Look-In'' eighteen months earlier, leaving no specifically TV-oriented magazine for young teenagers on sale in Britain. In 1995 ''[[Top of the Pops (magazine)|Top Of The Pops Magazine]]'' was launched, effectively catering for the ''Number One'' market.

==Comic strips== 
The following comic strips appeared in ''Fast Forward'': 
 
* ''[['Allo 'Allo!]]''
* ''[[Baywatch]]''
* ''[[Bread (TV series)|Bread]]''
* ''[[EastEnders]]''
* ''[[The Flintstones]]''
* ''[[Gordon the Gopher]]''
* ''[[Grange Hill]]''
* ''TV Centre''
