The original presenting line-up: Nia Dafydd, Garmon Emyr & Gaynor Davies

The show was broadcast from a purpose built 'house' at a studio in Caernarfon, and featured celebrity guests, news items, lively chat, bands, sketches and filmed interviews. Despite the obvious ties to The Big Breakfast, the show originally had more in common with the BBC's Blue Peter, until later relaunches saw Uned 5 target an older, teenage audience.

On 24 November 2009, S4C announced that the programme would be axed as part of a major revamp of the station's youth programming.[1] The very last edition of Uned 5 was broadcast on Sunday 30 May 2010.

Presenters
The presenting line-up in 2004: Lisa Gwilym, Gareth Owen and Gethin Jones

During its time on air, Uned 5 was fronted by 21 presenters - many of whom gone on to present further shows on S4C and other channels, notably Rhodri Owen who became a reporter for the BBC travel show Holiday and Gethin Jones who went on to present Blue Peter.

The presenters are mostly remembered in the following line-ups:

gollark: *However*, you can directly interface with wired modems as a peripheral without rednet.
gollark: No you don't.
gollark: I have an even smarter idea.
gollark: Okay, so, wired local communication:- wired modem access- rednet which uses that wired modem thing- rEdStOnE dAtA eNcOdInG
gollark: Which rednet uses internally.
