Background
Room 785 took its name from the British Forces Post Office number used as its address. It was previously known as Children's SSVC. By 1985, the show already included a birthday section. The programme's broadcasts were taken directly from those shown on CBeebies, CBBC, CITV and Channel 5, similar to the output of BFBS channels in general.
