The next step parody eddon tries to come up with a solution on hacker time
Hacker Time is a British children's sketch talk show show on CBBC starring Hacker T. Dog with one or more famous celebrities such as Anton du Beke and Dani Harmer. The show follows the same theme of Hacker tricking the celebrity/s into his studio, interviewing them, and then watching sketches and outtakes from other programmes. Each episode is approximately 30 minutes long. The theme song and ending songs are sung by Phil Fletcher who is Hacker T. Dog's puppeteer and voice actor.

The third series of the show started on 22 July 2013 where Derek books worse guests than Hacker has in mind.

Segments
In all of the episodes there are lots of segments In series 1, one of the recurring extras are a spoof of Downton Abbey called Downstairs Abbey starring Hacker T. Dog and Dodge T. Dog as maids and Ed Petrie as their master. It stars two maids (Hacker the Dog and Dodge the Dog) who are in love with Lord Percy (Ed Petrie) but to their dismay he is in love with another woman Lady Sarah (Isabel Fay). Whenever Lady Sarah comes to the Abbey, Lord Percy tries to do something nice for her involving the maids and it all goes disastrously wrong. Then Lord Percy asks the maids to clear up after him.
There is also the 'Betterer Arena' in which Hacker attempts to perform better than the celebrity/s at their profession, be it acting or sport and then fails spectacularly. This features Warrick Brownlow-Pike as various different assistants for Hacker.
In Series 2 of Hacker Time The Adventures of Sherlock Bones replaces Downstairs Abbey, in which Hacker goes around the land of Teapot solving mysteries, often making silly conclusions at the end of each episode. Each episode of Sherlock Bones is about 2–4 minutes long.
In Series 2 Derek one of Hacker's assistants shows a part of the episode called Derek Time in which he shows 3 clips, and when Hacker says no he threatens to show the viewers at home the photograph.
In Series 3 instead of The Adventures Of Sherlock Bones there is the "hard hitting medical docu-drama", Casually, a spoof of casualty, in which all the doctors and nurses give the wrong treatment. "Tales of the Mild West" also appears, where Hacker becomes the mayor of an old western town.
In Series 4 the first 5 episodes featured A Knight's Tale. The last 5 episode contained Areoport, a mockumentary.
In Series 5 episode 1-5, there was Ms Marbles Mysteries, where Ms Marbles (played by Hacker) finds many mysteries and solves them. In episode 6-10 there is The Next Step But One.
