Charlotte Ashton and Anthony
Baxter return with a new
series of Revealed BBC Switch returns to Saturday afternoons on BBC Two (12noon-2pm) with a range of new programming for teenagers this autumn.
Presented by young journalists Charlotte Ashton and Anthony Baxter, current affairs show Revealed... helps viewers make sense of a variety of issues facing teens in the UK. In this series they tackle male anorexia, the surveillance society, teen alienation, crime, sex and what's really going on in Bridgend.
In today's opening programme, What Do They Know About You?, Revealed... explores how, more than ever, teenagers are under surveillance. As teenagers' details appear on expanding databases of DNA, biometrics and personal details, the programme asks whether anything is still private, and whether teens care.
Charlotte and Anthony meet Marcus from Austria, who hates the UK's "big brother" cameras, and Alex, who is on the DNA database despite never committing a crime. Revealed... also investigates how much information teens give away about themselves online and reveals statistics about the number of innocent young people on the DNA database.

BBC Switch launches Scene Stealers as part of its autumn season of programming for teens on BBC Two on Saturday afternoons.
Presented by Jeff Leach (host of BBC Switch's teen talk show The Surgery), Scene Stealers is a new a six-part entertainment series in which two teens each week are challenged to pretend they belong to a different youth tribe.
In just 48 hours, a "plastic" must become a hip-hop MC, a Goth must become a "plastic", an indie boy must become a "chav", a posh girl must become a hippie and an emo must become a posh kid. Each teen is paired with a mentor who shows them how to perfect their new persona. Both have to perform a series of tasks to complete the transformation.
And there is a surprise in store – the teens will be going on a date with their rival scene stealer. The duo are finally grilled by a panel of experts who select the one they think is genuine. They then expose the scene stealer.
The first episode sees Nikita, a "plastic WAG", and Josh, an Eighties-obsessed punk, try to become hip-hop MCs. At the end of the 48 hours, they go head to head at the High Court of Hip Hop, where they face BBC 1Xtra DJ's Jenna G and Vis and hip-hop MC Stig Of The Dump. Will they fool the experts? Which teen will be exposed as the scene stealer?
Next week a boy racer and a ghetto girl try to make it as Goths, but will they fool the High Court of Goth?

As part of its new BBC Two autumn programming for teens on Saturday afternoons, BBC Switch offers a second chance to see the hit US teen comedy drama Greek, which was first shown on BBC Three.
Casey Cartwright is popular, beautiful, smart and has the perfect boyfriend in Evan. But her ambition to become president of Cyprus Rhodes University house Zeta Beta Zeta is threatened by the arrival of the scheming Rebecca Taylor, daughter of a high-profile politician.
Casey must also contend with the arrival on campus of her very different younger brother Rusty, who is determined to shake off his geeky image and enjoy his student years. As Rusty and Casey negotiate university life with ex-boyfriends, love rivals, disapproving room-mates and studies, they begin to realise that the only thing they may be able to rely on is each other.
The first episode sees Rusty start his freshman year determined to change his life and "rush" a fraternity, much to the chagrin of his sister, Casey, who is not too keen on having her younger brother invade her world. Their family bond is tested as Rusty heads into "rush week" and discovers information that could hurt his sister and also jeopardise his bid to join the most prestigious fraternity.
Spencer Grammer stars as Casey, Jacob Zachar plays Rusty, Scott Michael Foster plays Cappie, Jake McDorman plays Evan, Clark Duke plays Dale, Dilsad Vadsaria plays Rebecca, Paul James plays Calvin and Amber Stevens plays Ashleigh.

Presenters Charles Hazlewood and Suzy Klein bring back the old and much-loved Proms tradition of Beethoven Night. The programme features Beethoven's mighty Fifth Symphony, a study in coiled tension and release that never fails to thrill, performed by the BBC Symphony Orchestra and conducted by David Robertson.
There is also a full performance of Beethoven's Violin Concerto played by virtuoso violinist Nikolaj Znaider, ably supported by the talented youngsters of the Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester under conductor Sir Colin Davis. Znaider views this work as the violinist's bible, its "ultimate challenge".
The programme also looks back at some great Beethoven moments from past Proms, and talks to the three finalists of BBC Two's Maestro series, who have been tackling the daunting task of conducting the Fifth Symphony. Also joining Charles and Suzy in the studio is Beethoven enthusiast and expert John Suchet.
Digital viewers can press the Red
button on their remote controls for programme notes during the performance.
