CiTV & Ministry of Mayhem thread

The shows hardly been on 3 minuites and people are saying it's repetitive

Personally, I think people on this forum take it way too seriously It's a TV program! it's there to entertain... your not critisising a movie.

What's the difference between criticising a movie and criticising a TV programme. That's what we're here for, that's what this forum's here for to air our views, opinions, comments and critisisms of TV shows.

I think it is getting a bit repetitious though. Between shows 1-5, as they were trying to get things right, things changed each week, for the past three week though things have been pretty much the same. I'd just like to see a few different things, a different competition, a sketch or two, and more mayhem!

Hi,
does anyone know if series 2 of 'Black Hole High' is returning?

I loved the first series and seem to remember that michael said that 'series 2 will be back soon' but it hasn't!

thanx,

Didn't they show series 2 not so long ago on Fox Kids?
Fox Kids shownt series one shortly after CiTV finished showing it, and then I believe that they shownt series 2, I just remember them advertising it.

As for CiTV, who knows. They pick and choose what they want to show at the start of everyday it seems. As Kevin on Puffin's Pla(i)ce keeps saying, on CiTV today... Though that could all change between now and then.

How do the shortened titles go of MoM? Someone said they're shortened.

ITV are shortening the 24 Hour Quiz to 45 minutes to start at 5.15pm from next Monday.

Viewers are being treat to a 15 minute "You've Been Framed" prior to this. Why don't they just give the 15 minutes extra to CiTV and have done with it ?

Because the schedule on CiTV has been pre-planned, whilst You've Been Framed is cheap and easy to knock-up?

Plus, it'll probably get more viewers for 24hr Quiz to potentially inherit.

They've been like that for a few weeks now. They start with the circuit of traffic, and rush through parts of the long titles.
The theme tune misses out the verse at the start and kicks off with the 'Get up, join in, it's time to pump up the volume' etc.

The CiTV schedule is only just settling down, these past few weeks are the first when programmes haven't been dropped, changed, replaced and moved at short notice.

If you've been framed got viewers, they will obviously go back to that.
They could easily put on one half of an episode of Mr Bean the animated series that would surely be easier than making special 15 minute YBF's!
I've been watching these on occassions on Nick Toons TV and there are so many that haven't yet been shownt on itv1.

Then again, they could create a little CiTV news programme for a trial run to see how this would work out. Carlton Central ITV could still produce it from their CSO set, or get ITN to produce a short bulletin just to see how things went on, and it would show that ITV were committed to their News Output by increasing the amount and aiming for new viewers.

y not just carry CiTV on untill 17:15 and put an episode of 'Chums' on and (if time) play a game/read e-mails (INTERACT WITH VIEWERS!!!).

It is interesting that during the afternoon period from around 3.30pm to 5.30pm, BBC1 and ITV1 ratings decrease and BBC2, Channel 4 and Five's ratings increase to such an extent that sometimes even Five has more viewers than BBC1 and ITV1.

This will no doubt be because kids don't watch the children's strands on terrestrial anymore as they have umpteen all day channels to choose from on Sky.

That is really interesting.
I have Sky myself, the presentation and live links on the childrens channels are usually better, as they can use as much time as they like.
Though programme wise on satillitte channels are rubbish. Even in the afternoon slot, the majority are repeats and all (bar CBBC/CBeebies/Pop) are American imports.
At least CBBC (on one) and CiTV offer new programmes, don't repeat any on a loop and commission their own programmes!
