I know TCC continued as a feed for the Nordic channels for a couple of years after (for contractual reasons), which I think is what Cable & Wireless carried for a few months though I don't think that showed Batman, Dennis or Art Attack- the three shows they signpost as being "back tomorrow.

It wasn't TCC Nordic (which was branded as such and carried adverts), but it did use elements of TCC Nordic's branding. 

It was a tape based playout, which was a common means of distribution in the early days of cable but not so much after Sky Multichannel, with spaces for ads to be inserted although none were. When they ran out of tapes they just went back to the first tape - and I'm sure I remember reading that it would screw up frequently.

And yes, you're right it didn't have those programmes I don't think but the channel was indeed 'back tomorrow' for a subset of viewers, unlike Carlton Kids.

(TCC also wasn't really a forerunner to the CITV channel, other than programming the only link was TCC and CITV both used Central's studios for a time but even then TCC used Nottingham rather than Birmingham)
