Have they cut back to only one hyena as well now ? I only saw Scratch in the bits I saw today.


Sniff didn't seem to be there last week either (apart from Dodge Dolly's Ball's) perhaps the person who plays Sniff is on holiday?. I liked the gag with the CD mixing machine they did it last week as well but it was even funnier this week which caused Liz to burst in to laughter its definitely getting better each week. The scores should have been a tie that way 2 boys and 2 girls can come down to the studio next week.

I also noticed a small change to the opening titles: The white background now has a brick texture effect added to it.


That's the 3rd week now that Sniff hasn't been present. He appeared in the first show and then only as part of Dodge Dolly's Balls.

As for the titles, they've added a new backing with more brick and more flying stars, sparkles are appearing everywhere, and various other bits, such as Stephen's name (when blown up) is in a different font, and the end logo now comes in on an angle.

The programme is gradually getting better, but I'm sure that it will be better when it's back live, I say back live, I presumed that the first show was live.

What makes you say it isn't live?

They did indeed say that it was live, though from the look of it, the way it was cut and the fact that the titles were new and no graphics (even the one's on the plasmas) reflected this fact made it seem otherwise.

It could of course be live, though they'd surely have to be working from 5ish am until at least 10pm.

Looking back at the article from new look magazine that was posted

"Holly: A team of boys and a team of girls take part in games for points. Whoever wins gets to stay on the next week. They can stay on all year if they're good enough!"

That hasn't really come true has it? They have had one team at a time, and two teams would actually make the show better, get a bit more competition into it.

"Holly: One game we're excited about is Penny Jar. We're encouraging kids to send in as many pennies as they can. If we get a million pennies that will be £10,000 so it will be a massive prize."

They haven't even mentioned this yet, unless they are saving it for later, or perhaps they thought that making kids send in money was a bad idea, unless it was going to charity of course.

"Stephen: There's also the Scary Cellar where I do magic that will make people scream."

And again, never seen this, where would they even put it?
Unless of course they did whatever they've done with the attic set.

What's the point of publicising something in articles when it's not correct?

They since did a pilot and realised it didn't work.

Remember when MoM started, Michael was promoted as being out and about with reports or something similar. It never was true either.

I think yesterday's show was live. I can't see them recording every week for however long Dancing on Ice goes on for. Afterall its nothing to do with The Foundation's production team the fact that Holly and Stephen have managed to get another job on the same day. Plus with the fact that there are callers plus loads of kids in the studio (Well 4) they couldn't do it during a schoolday

Broadcast is reporting that CITV will be cut back to end at 4.30pm when Joe Pasquale's Price Is Right revival begins, as they want to air it opposite Deal Or No Deal and Ready Steady Cook.

Such a shame everything that was once great about ITV is dissapering. CITV used to be unmissable when I used to watch.

The budget is being slashed to the point that they're barely able to do anything.

It won't be long before we find out what they've got in store for the CITV Channel.

Anyway I was under the impression they were unable to reduce CITV hours on ITV1 unless they got an allowance from Ofcom. Maybe if this story is true and actually happens they'll start at 3pm instead
