Good MoM again this week. Holly was away and so the boys did play.
The whole show seemed to be Stephen, Michael, Ray and the Doctor rather than just using Ray and the Doctor for moments.
They did the sketch where they went to the future again, and great cameos by two of the others playing Brittney and Avril!
Butthaven was good again, though it looked as though it was recorded with them playing cakey sk8 before where an actor from corrie got covered in cake, was clean in butthaven and then was dirty again afterwards!
The Doctor was great in his lab with a bit of inuendo too, and I did like 'the Doc in the frock' instead of 'Polly with her Trolley' for Cakey SK8, all in all a very good show, though there's still no proper titles!

Stephen said to michael "they should add an extra verse" or something like that at the beginning of todays show, but i doubt they'll add the lines they cut out and make them sing the full title song.
I liked the walk-through backstage when Stephen foamed Ray it was nice to see the camera follow Stephen backstage instead of cutting back to Michael while he made his way to Ray's dressing room.
Buthaven must of been pre-recorded as there was no tannoy message from the camp announcer today like there always is before buthaven. I like the new buthaven credits, they should do a friends style and change the pictures every so often, on friends it was usually every 13 episodes they changed the credits but maybe they could change the pictures after christmas. I would like to see a "C.H.U.M.S" style ending credits at the end of buthaven.
Also noticed they've started to use the "Dinosaur" sponsor sequences again this morning!.

Yes today's was another good show despite Holly being away being cut price Cat again. Coronation Street's Warren Baldwin was a good guest up for all the gunging and caking, in fact much better on here as himself than his annoying character on corrie. So he goes in at number one on my unofficial MoM guests who were good fun list knocking McFly from the other week to number two!
And also as mentioned above, Ray actually had a big part this week (well as big as you can get with Ray!), appearing in most of the show, the same also goes for the Doctor who was on top form. The best line being something about him investigating Geezers this week!

That backstage bit was nice. They should have said that it was the ministry, they could actually use the corridors and offices as the actual ministry if they wanted to, i bet the only major logos are at the reception desk and perhaps on the dressing room doors.
I loved the way how Stephen commented on the crocodile just being a man in a suit, as long as they never un mask the bear, they're ok!
I do actually miss them where they used to get the crew to dress up as the bear, crocodile and various workmen to do the dance at the start. It's become to flash nowadays, and as I've said before a set more suited to cd:uk!
I still prefer the old set as it looked more like the building, and even though they may be in the same studio, the old set looked massive in comparison. Plus they also had the various rooms that they could use for anything that they wanted to, if they wanted to, and had the lovely old round sofa on the platform and proper balconey.
I wonder why they got rid of the old set so soon, it didn't even last a year, along with the great set of titles, that they should really bring back, if not just for a special christmas set!
I'd still like to see the return of phone in games, why there aren't any I'm not sure, though with CiTV at the moment interactivity is something that they don't want to do!
They've even gone as far as to take away the pinboards!

They should bring back Watt Hertz!. I just watched the first episode i taped in full and Duncan and Lee from blue got shocked by Holly for mouthing the answers to the contestants on the phone!.
fanoftv: I saw on one of the walls that stephen walked pass backstage had the TCM Logo on in a photoframe with a film on it i think.
And off topic, going through some old tapes i found some presentation from challenge tv's "Prizetime with andy crane" old days, he mentioned that they was coming from The Maidstone Studios!.

Interesting. It actually sounds good. They could easily just add that version to the old titles, I wish they would, those titles were nice.
I wonder if they've created a second verse or if they just repeat it over and over again! Though it sounds good! I presume that they will be on the show on October 23rd then, or perhaps a couple of weeks before.
I agree about watt hertz it was quite a good game, as it was a bit like challenge ant, except it involved callers (in some form, it did appear in about 10 different forms), and it involved Michael, Stephen or the guests being electric shocked.
I thought they would have used other elements for games, like they could have created a game over Tutenstein.
Something like bash the mummy. Have Ray as the mummy, and a series of say 10 coffins/chambers, then have 10 other people (also dressed up) with the caller having to shout out which number had to hit when Ray as the mummy burst out of the coffins/chambers.
Stephen & Michael could have done a splatoon and got into character as archiologists.
I suppose it could work nowadays in the way that Splatoon worked independantly.
Or something else that I'd like to see is a real life version of the mail room mayhem game as featured on the deluxe website.
The idea of the web game is that you play ray and you have to move him to catch the falling coloured letters and post them in the right order!
The way I could see it on TV is like the Crystal Dome on the Crystal Maze, where by callers guess an amount, and Ray has to collect and post as many as possible.
Two colours, one colour = two points, and the other equals minus 1 point, and the closest caller wins.
