CiTV & Ministry of Mayhem thread

Do they show the old Christmas Crackers during December then? I remember my favourite one as being the 1994 one (for no apparant reason), so it'd be nice to see that again.

Well they don't show just Christmas Crackers, but they tend to show them closer to Christmas, though we may see some on Santa Claus Sunday, there's a triple bill from 8, and every programme until 8 Simple Rules at 10pm is a Christmas Film, or a Christmas edition of a programme, (bar possibly a That's So raven where she has a vision of Devon kissing her, not sure if this is Christmas related).
And then they'll mox them in with other editions and will then air them again in the week leading up to Christmas, at a guess.

But with there being a Santa Claus Sunday this year, they will definately have Christmas Presentation from then, but it's whether they choose to start using it on Wednesday, or not, as I'm guessing they won't have much presentation, they may leave it till the Sunday.

I also saw a trailer for Finding Nemo today and it had Sleeping Beauty's castle in a fish tank and then a load of fish in a school swimming past to link into some clips of the film. I'm just hoping that these aren't going to Christmas Idents. An Ident into Nemo, ok, but idents leading up to nemo and then over christmas, I hope not!

I saw that promo too. Oh dear.

Though hopefully they may just use it for an around promos and around the premiere.
They're still using the Christmas Trees on other promo's, and I doubt they'd use fish idents around Santa Claus Sunday that consists of not one programme/movie featuring fish!

On a CiTV related note, according to the Mirror Christmas TV Guide, the ministry has the Christmas Morning spot, with a slight extention to 11:45, then a Christmas Programme about staging a nativity play, then 2 hours of TBA from 13:00-15:00. Perhaps they may drop a Church Service and a CD:UK Christmas Special into this spot, who knows!

What about diggin' it? Is that on christmas day or not?

Unsure at the moment as it's just listed as GMTV until 9:25, though I'll guess that it will be, as usual.

They have a final live GMTV on Christmas Eve, then they'll most probably stick with their weekend schedule with an added Diggin'it Extra or Up on the roof, or both on Monday, and possibly Tuesday too!

Has anyone seen the new Thursdays on CiTV trailer?They'll probably be one for each day,but anyway the beginning was like that stupid trailer saying not to watch CiTV but this time it's the right way round,but the rest's like those award ceremony trailers.Last year the slogan was it's in a leauge of it's own or something and this time it's they don't know what their missing.

That's how you do trailers,not tell them your own show's rubbish!

God I remember them, very wierd trailers they were.
Perhaps it's because Thursdays & Fridays have less ratings with MPAA not on.

Anyway, going back to an old point, from Tuesday 7th, Art Attack is back on CiTV afternoons, replacing Jungle Run.
Though I'm sure that the week leading up to Christmas consists of Mr Bean, Grizzly Tales, Atomic Betty and two to be announced, which should (by counting) be the last two episodes in MPAA, then they've got That's So Raven and Sabrina which will no doubt be Christmas Eps.

I wonder what Art Attack'll do with their new titles and theme tune.Replacing the paint splodges with baubles sounds good to me.

I don't think that they usually change it. Though I'm sure last year they had sleigh bells and things last year, I'm not sure though!

Plus digiguide doesn't give the episodes. For all I know they could be airing old Art Attack Christmas Crackers in the Tuesday spot!

Ooops MoM wasn't completely ready for the start, as it didn't go straight from the ITV (old) ident into the MoM titles.

But what's this (yes I am being partially sarcastic)...

Speaking Of MOM, thats the worst opening I think i have seen yet.
They hardly had any of the song just:
"Get Up (get up) Join In (join in) Its time to pump up the volume Na-na-na na-na-na ooohhh" etc
Plus, no bed, which I quite liked, and no Doctor on the drums .

If MOM read this thread, please don't ever do this sequence again, the older one with the almost full song and bed was much much better than this crap.

Thanx,
