CITV 30th Anniversary

Give them a break, that's quite impressive and also quite out of character for ITV!

There must be a reason why, if you know what I mean. It was one of the biggest shows of the 80s.

Seems a shame that Zzzzap! hasn't been included.

Why does Spatz have to be on so early? Though Spatz is worth getting up for!

I wonder if were getting Spatz does that mean were will get an early Thames Mike & Angelo?

Amazing stuff... I think I'll be recording most of that weekend.

The first is from 1990, the second from 1996.

Am I the only one then who really doesn't remember Spatz?

So the first one will be like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEjGnci3HP8&feature=player_detailpage#t=330s

I can't believe you don't remember it.

Hopeful TV ARK is taking notes

The Tomorrow People? That predates CITV itself. They really are talking Old Skool.

It's the 1992 version.

I wonder what todays CITV audience will make of these shows ?

Somebody asked the CITV scheduler about that on twitter. Apparently, it was one of their shortlisted shows, but they couldn't get it licensed.
