I think with Gail and Andy it looked wrong at Gails age. If CiTV did a Little CiTV she'd be ideal to present it.

You need presenters to be under 30's for kids.


I don't care their age, as long as they make good programmes and are entertaining.

I'd much rather watch Fred Dinage on How 2, than watch a show presented by last years Tim Dixon.


Though having presenters under 30 is the norm and thats how kids do like it, but you must remember how many there was on older kids shows, Fred Dineage obviously, Gareth Jones; as he's been presenting since the 80's! Plus we must remember that the original How consisted of people like Jack Hargreaves, who was quite old when he presented it.

Though these people are institutions, as thats why they're popular as they've been round for ages.

Though I would much rather watch How 2 with Fred. I have one from 1993 with Fred, Carol and Gaz, which was really cool, informative and funny too.

God when Carol used to do it, that's going back a bit, with the old How 2 music. Before they replaced it three times over. Who knows the next series (if it ever arrives) will have another new theme tune.

There must be a new one as they did a happy christmas message from a new set at the end of last year.

Just looking at the website for MOM - they lyrics they've put up are actually wrong!

Wrong? Why are they wrong?

The only wrong word that i've noticed is where the website quotes:
"dogs are barking, neighbours howling, we don't hear a thing", where as I thought it was can't.

Is this what you meant Chris?

The Yuk Show started today, it was set out a bit like fingertips meets how 2. And it was quite interesting. If only we could see more shows, rather than one a week, replaced by another.


I am so glad I chose to view Animal Park today instead of tuning into The Yuk Show. I only flipped over purely by chance. From what I saw, Yuk Show was enough to put anybody off any meal they may have been having at the time, showing close-ups of elephant poo and a ten year old boy who looked far too happy to be shovelling up elephant crap in the middle of a nice day.

Mind, the other bit I caught was more interesting - mummification. Who are those two berks who present this arse of a show? It's not "Fingertips", more like "Fingertips previously shoved up various anatomical cavities" and 'Look what look what came out of a elephant's bum recently'. Rolling Eyes Quite literally garbage TV.

It's an OK show. For it's target audience. Some of the facts were interesting. I'd prefer How 2 or the Big Bang myself. It seems that its too little a subject to base a show on, there are some disgusting things in the world, but surely not enough for more than one series.

The presenters by the way, are Jamie Rickers from GMTV's Up on The Roof, and Naomi Wilkinson from five's milkshake strand.

I agree with previous comments about the Yuk show. Admittedly, I didn't watch the whole thing, but that's because what I did see was dire. About five minutes featured a boy running around shouting "poo" all the time and there was an enorumous "YUK SHOW" graphic on screen throughout.

As for the lyrics on the MOM website, there are a few more mistakes.

"Wake up to the Ministry of Mayhem..." isn't right - at least, that's not what it says on the screen during the show.

"We don't hear a thing..."

" It's non-stop, punk rock..."

Alright, they're more or less correct. But still not completely. Maybe I'm just being pedantic.

Here's the lyrics posted on their website:

Woke up, same clothes, from last night or the night before. Smashed up my alarm clock, but its' still ringing on my bedroom floor. My brain tells me go back to sleep. Something is happening, Planet Ministry is calling. Get up, join in. It's time to pump up the volume. Wake up to the Ministry of Mayhem It's non-stop, punk rock, hurricane AM. Dogs are barking, neighbours howling, we don't hear a thing So, wake up to the Ministry of Mayhem.

Im guessing with this sing down the phone competition they're introducing we'll probably see the full title music on the opening credits again so the viewers can see how the theme song goes?!.

And hopefully they'll sing at the end this saturday too.

Are the bold bits what you've edited or what is on the website that are wrong?

Funny old CiTV today. I tuned in and Laura & Andy were covered in custard pies, i didn't see the bit before the break, wish I had have done though! After last weeks cake in the face for Gail, perhaps it's going to be a new friday tradition.

Perhaps they should try a thank nick it's friday type of show, a live mad show with audience present to end the week.

hi,

I was out today so I was wondering if they sang the song at the end and was the show better today?

Thnx,

LoveTV
