They did appear - Philip Schofield and Fearne (sp) Britton came on at one point, said that they were big fans of the show, then introduced Ant, Dec and Cat. They then proceeded to show each of their favourite clips from the past - Ant's was the "pumping in the biscuit tin" letter, Dec's was a Beegee's mockup that they'd done, and Cat's was her audition for the show!

Another thing I noticed is that they said "Ant, Dec and Cat will be back for one last time" and I was expecting one of the presenters to welcome them on to the show, but instead Ant and Dec just appeared for Challenge Ant.

I think the problem with SM:TV was, it wasn't enough bringing back Chums, Challenge Ant and The Secret Of My Success, they should have made something happen! Like get a special contender on for Ant in Challenge Ant, Maybe get Dec & Cat The Dog to fall in love with each other in The Secret Of My Success!
It should have been live! They were laughing during the song at the end, like they didn't care, because they'd obviously recorded it a few weeks ago so it wouldn't have felt like the last show then!

Actually it was Ant's was the BeeGees style Ant song with Cat & S Club 7's Paul Cattermole (with Dec rapping, as he jokingly said that he didn't think Dec was in it that's why he chose it!). Dec chose the pumping in the biscuit tin clip from fathers day 1999. And Cat chose the episode of Dec Says (could have been Secret of My Success), where Dec & Cat the Dog worked at the hospital radio and laughed at each other when they looked at each other.
As has been said, it was a shame that it was only Ant, Dec & Cat that got to choose their favourite moments. It would have been nice to have had a live show where all of the presenters sat down together.

Is there any reason for Sleepover Club to be on twice a week? Couldn't they of stuck another Raven in or something?
I really doubt we'll ever see CiTV presenters back.

Yes the 1999 version will always go down in history as the SM:TV theme, people will forget the others. Its interesting how they managed to come up with these good themes to match the original visuals. The original one didn't even have the alarm clock buzzing, in fact it doesn't match the visuals in anyway and looks like it was added on afterwards. Was '1998 B' in fact the original version behind the scenes but wasn't used until show 4?
The first version of Xmas was the better one as well. They should have used that this year.
The music used in and out of the ads were good as well, with a different version used each side of the ads

I must say, the SMTV 1999 version is by far the best. They should never have changed it. The following version just sounded awful and it was so obvious that they just faded a new version in over the old version. I quite like the 2001-B version though, with the stabs at 12 seconds in.

If I knew what it was, then I may be able to tell you. They have now shownt every episode of That's So Raven twice, once on SM:tv, then on CiTV, and it's been on Diggin'It too.
I suppose they could have continued to show the new series of sabrina one afternoon, unless the ministry are going to be showing that.
Why do you think we won't see presenters back? They have paid out a lot of money for the new set, that's only been used for a few months. They were getting back on their feet creating more time, more links, little features such as bag the swag.
Though I wonder why Leah is leaving/has left, if they are keeping on presenters. I think it would be a stupid idea to return to non presenters. I pine for the days to return when you could switch CiTV on, and it was full of ways to get interactive. As Stephen said once. The thing with CiTV is that it's live and nowadays so interactive (this was a couple of years ago), if a mistake is made on air then viewers can call, fax, email, text, etc. Where did those days go? things should progress not go regress.

Well its a good montage, where did you find all those pictures?
The Ant, dec and Cat ones, in the main, I found from the photo's section of an SM:tv yahoo group that I'm joined to, which were originally on SM:tv's official site during ant and dec's presenting time. The Brian/tess ones i managed to get from a Brian Dowling fansite.
Thanks for the compliment btw!
