CiTV & Ministry of Mayhem thread

Well I wonder what we'll see now, as Razor's pointed out everything is overplayed, and many things they don't seem to be moving on with and simply repeating.

With them most probably dropping down the time to an hour by the autumn, will we see two different shows on different days, tots for half an hour and then My Parents Are Aliens, or simply repeats and then My Parents Are Aliens?

It will be interesting to see, I suppose we won't have long to find out.

It is a shame that they've let ITV ruduce the hours, Ofcom so far since they took over haven't done a great job in my mind, most of their decisions have been half hearted with a cowardly approach.

Personally if ITV would have asked me for a drop in hours, I'd have increased them for being so cheeky for asking in the first place, they only have to broadcast 12 hours out of 168 a week. It's not much, and it isn't Ofcom's fault that they're losing revenue, if they planned the schedules well, instead of filling them with repeats then it would have helped.
Alternatively if they'd have made an effort with live presentation filled with repeats such as the Disney Channel's Studio Disney, then the ratings would have been higher.

They've got rid of our studio and now 45 minuites.I'm suprised we haven't had CiTV scrapped. But hopefully they'll get a studio or presenters to make up for when they scrap the 45 minuites.
Even if the presenter's only in front of an ident,it would be better than the 1993-1998 out-of-vision voiceovers.

I've made a citv schedule for the summer!
Mondays:
4.00 Mr. Bean
4.10 How 2
4.30-5.00 MPAA [repeats!]
Tuesdays:
4.00 Angry Beavers
4.10 Art Attack
4.30-5.00 Star [new series!]
Wednesdays:
4.00 Mr. Bean
4.10 Fingertips
4.30-5.00 The Worst Witch[series 1 then new eps]
Thursdays:
4.00 Eliminator[NEW EPISODES!]
4.30-5.00 MPAA Repeat
Fridays:
4.00 Tiny Planets[one tots show on fridays!]
4.05 Five minuite Fingertips
4.10 The Quick Trick Show[New series]
4.30-5.00 Gungement Day[mad show at the end of citv]

I think the only way we're going to see new shows is if they buy some, or a current show get's a new series/season. And the only one I know getting a new series it Atomic Betty. I think it's very likely we'll be seeing new series of MPAA, Giblet Boys and Barking! but that could be a looooooong way off.

As for MoM, I presume I'm not the only one fearing that there are two new presenters in that crate and they will be replacing Stephen and Holly, for good.

But apart from that it was another good show, I still don't like the way they've shifted everything around, but it was still funny. Is it me or did they skip Double Trouble this week?

They did skip/leave out Double Trouble this week, i was getting in to that funky new music they've been playing in the background for the last two weeks before they get to the questions! (not the "Who are ya" music)

It'll be interesting to see what was in that box next week although Stephen kept almost giving it away this week!.

Yeh - as someone mentioned they've got new background music...

But the track I heard was one that was composed for Bungalow and then made it onto Library discs!

Is all the music on M.O.M libary music including the theme song and the instrumental verison of the theme?.

which personally, i find embarrassing........can't even be bothered to get your own music made.,

No it's probably more to do with it being cheaper.

Interesting about CiTV.
Even though with lack of time they will have a budget cut, they will most probably keep most of the programmes and comission new ones as well as importing.

A new MPAA will most probably be on the cards, hopefully a new series of barking and giblets and they have proved very popular, it's a shame that the worst witch was cut, well I presume it was cut, unless they've just started to play MPAA at the moment due to Nickelodeon starting to show them from the very first episode.

As for MoM. I don't think they're two new presenters.
To me they sound incredibly like a mixture of two wolves and two leprechauns, if you see where I'm going with this one.

And with all of the laughing, could these be the hyena's that were mentioned by somebody at the start of the year???

Im sure Stephen said that "we'll find out whats in it at the end of today's show" and then at the end he said we'll opening the box next week.

Yes, he definately did. Let's just hope he doesn't do it next week aswell, lol.
