Thought yesterday's show was another good one, particularly as a lot went wrong, with unplanned cockups (such as the paper door in Ram Ray falling off and Crazy Frog Ray banging his head) as well as the scripted gags (such as Mr Lee crawling in and out in shot)

Stephen's facial expressions are always the best, such as when Lee from Blue's mum was telling that long winded story! Lee was another good guest although he got into Cakey Sk8 just a bit too much!

The crew seemed to be building their part this week with them calling out all the time!
I'd say the show is the strongest these last few weeks as its been since it started. Name that Tone was definally a good idea and I don't know about you but the game isn't really getting boring, as its slightly different every week


For me the main reason that Name That Tone is working is because it isn't really about the game, it's more about Ray dressed as the wrong, Mr Lee coming on and then singing one of the ringtones and Holly & Guest exiting for the Thankyou Desk.

It is a great little show nowadays though, it seems as though they've finally fixed all of the problems that they had with it. Obviously they could do more, and as long as they keep it fresh by changing things everyweek (as the set designers keep doing, something changes every week), such as the set, the games and the things they do with guests, then it shouldn't get stale. Though if Name That Tone, Ram Ray, and Pet Alien are on this time next year with no breaks then it will be definately stale, that's if they make it to this time next year.

I keep thinking they might get new titles because of the 1st saturday of November and the 1st toonatttik and stuff!
I still think it should have a break in March.Regional news at 9.25,then regions could do their own thing till 10.30,when it could go over to the main show called the saturday studio.

REGIONS???
Yeah that will certainly boost the revenue, especially having news in the middle of two children's slots!

MoM's doing fine at the moment, getting rid, even if it's for a few months would mean starting a new show which wouldn't do well against Dick & Dom.

Well,it would only be against D&D for 1month and a half,then TSS,and another few weeks of Dick and Dom.

MoM is fine all year round. If it were a BBC programme then it would probably take a break around march/april time like D&D do.

MoM have proved theirselves in the last few months, it was a great show again on saturday, although i had to watch saturday's show back to get Mr Lee's punchline during name that tone i didnt get it at first!. Embarassed

I watched the second ministry of mayhem today with the great ITV1/CiTV/MoM sting and the great MoM stings.
I'm sure everyone knows about my escapade with this in mock designs but fingers crossed it'll do better here........
Could anyone make some titles?I don't mind how long they are as long as they're 10 seconds or more!

I tried to post something i did in moviemaker to start you off but it didn't work!

Yeah, it was another great show on Saturday, I can't say much about it because it's all been said now. But I don't know why they have said for the past two weeks that the Pet Alien episodes they showed were 'brand new' because they'd been shown on midweek CiTV before..... unless they just meant they'd never shown them on MoM.

What did everybody else think of Captain Scarlet? Certainly was different in a few ways to the original. I honestly thought it wouldn't be that good and that they'd just over-hype it, but it was good, definately better than Drake & Josh. The voices seemed weird, but you can't expect them to have the same people doing the voices can you. I'm sure they'll seem OK once I get used to it.

I don't really agree with your any of your opinions on CiTV and MoM, TV Guy. Maybe you should buy/create your own channel (call it 6ixx, maybe) and then have those shcedules on there. I'm not having a pop at you, your entitled to your opinion, I just don't agree with them. No offence.

The first time they did it I thought it would be crap, but with the inclusion of Mr. Lee, Ray dressed as a frog and the 'creeping' under the camera's shot at the end make it brilliant, and as you said it's slightly different every week.

I'm sure that Dick & Dom didn't have a programme on until after MoM played out Pet Alien.


No, I'm pretty sure they didn't, because I flicked over to it breifly in the first commercial break and they were still introducing the contestants, I think.

Maybe we'll get our new titles when Cat leaves CD:uk.
BTW,does anyone tape CD:uk ,when they tape MoM?

I only tape M.O.M sorry. I've got some clips that i recorded with my new DVD recorder of the old M.O.M set i'll try and see if i can extract them as video files later on.

Interesting MoM today.
It seems as though they've had many complaints from Captain Scarlet fans over them doing Double Trouble in the middle, so they moved it and everything else before it. Perhaps it'll add more viewers to carry over to cd:uk too, though it has been hosted by Dave 'I am the greatest presenter ever' Berry.

As for the show with them doing it like this they now have an hour in the middle, maybe they should push atomic betty forward a bit, though there was actually nothing wrong with it.

And at least due to the amount of ideas they're using, items aren't really getting bored.

Highlight of the show... most probably Stephen having a go at Ram Ray, though I did like the umpah lumpah bit.
