I think it was another wig the doctor was wearing on Saturday, because the guy who plays the doctor appeared as the 'dad' from Globo Loco in an earlier episode of M.O.M and his hair was a lot different (unless its growen a bit since)

In response to fanoftv, yeah they're still chopped up. It starts with the gentle drums but then suddely goes into "WAKE UP! WAKE UP! ..."

Also, they've removed Michelle McManus from the titles.


Does anyone the "Michelle McManus" version of the M.O.M titles? I dont remember seeing this version

I think she was in a window on the bit where the ministry flew into the air. Anyway i've got an idea for new titles.It would have the ministry as a really posh MINISTRY and it would show Stephen,Holly,The Doctor,Ray and the Hyenas dressed up posh walking in,but then it would turn in the ministry of mayhem and it would fly up into space and do things to aliens that they do in the show[drop a cake on one,gunge another].

Then it would show the presenters inside and then it would zoom out,then zoom into the door to reveal the logo.

In the lab Peter Cocks reused a joke he had already told in Globo Loco just the day before, it was the one about the student only being there for the free food but somehow when the doctor said it, it seemed funnier

Also one of the voices of the hyenas is a voice on Basil Brush were Peter Cocks is a writer I wonder if he suggested him for the job although it’s probably just a coincidence

Yesterday's show was good again but then again they all are thesedays. Just think how far it has moved on in 6 months!

Lots of mistakes again, including when Mr Lee, who seems to be moved along on a sort of platform, didn't move out of shot far enough. Name that Tone still seems a bit wrong being so early in the preceedings and rushed a bit. Those quick items like Stephen scaring Holly are good, Holly must be a bag of nerves all week!

I don't think they should rest Ram Ray yet as its still good, "Is this a game?". I don't think Ray realised they were all going to be wood until the last one when Stephen made it obvious.

Next week guests include McFly plus it'll be the first time we see what the Hyenas have to do, along with the other characters The Doc, Ray and Mr Lee (who even joins in the dance thesedays!)


It is indeed becoming a great show.
I'm intrigued as to how they will play the hyenas.
They were great in the little bits yesturday, especially the fact that they weren't in the crates at all.
I quite liked the little bit before the thankyou desk too when Stephen had dropped one of the notes and one of the hyenas (surely a competition will be used to create names, as always) picked it up for him, then the other one kept going towards the camera, that seemed very familiar and much welcomed.

Another point, when Stephen & Holly were heading towards the fridge and the camera went onto the Doc, was that his real hair or was it another wig trying to confuse viewers?


Yeah, it was another great show on saturday, Ram Ray was great this week, I wasn't expecting that. He slid down that door in a kind of 'cartoon' way, except faster. It's good they can keep a twist on the games (for instance having Stephen do Ram Ray a few weeks ago, all wooden doors last week, Mr. Lee always doing something hilarious during Name That Tone etc.) I agree that Name That Tone is out of place in it's new slot, but it also looks like they've dropped Double Trouble because it wasn't on again last week, which isn't much of a loss. It was a good game, but it would be top of my list of games/items to drop. It can sometimes take up too much time.

I think that was definately another wig that the Doc was wearing.
I'll also be intrigued to see how they use the hyenas, they'll be a great inclusion, I'm just thinking that if they get their own slot (like the Docs lab) then they're likely to drop something, because they have trouble fitting everything as it is. But I think they'll just pop up occasionally when Holly and Stephen at the Fridge etc.

I didn't notice that untill you said, you're definately right. And the Doc's version was definately funnier. I don't know why.

On a different note, anybody else notice that CiTV are now starting to show the end credits on their shows? I noticed it on SpongeBob and Atomic Betty, I missed the end of MPAA so I don't know about that. They squash the credits right up, but they are there, wonder why they suddenly went from not showing them... to showing them?

I think they should give The Doctor his own show ouside of MoM. He's such a character, I'm sure he'd be able to fill it.

I'm suprised no-one's mentioned CD:UK either. As it was Cat's last show, they ended it with a montage of clips. Sadly, most of the clips were to recent, and they didn't show many pre-2003 clips, but they did have a brief snippet of the first ever CD:UK. It almost makes you feel old when you can remember watching that when it first went out.

Steven mentioned that Ray was going to be in the crazy frog music video is he really or was it a little joke

It was the 3rd of october, of course there's no Challenge Ant, this came in the summer of 99, it proved so popular that they continued and relaunched it in september 1999.
I presume by the date they had the well known music and a bit of an audience going, and going for a Live & Kicking type of porgramme.

By memory, wasn't face the fans where the viewers put questions to a guest, Cat Chat was basically a interview format with Cat, The Big Interview was the sketch interview (from show 1) where Declan Clarence Oberdire Tarzan Trent Donnaly (or names to that effect) interviewed Ant in a character, including his classic spoof of the Queen.

I haven't got a clue what 'What's In Your Wallet' is though, though surely it's in the name. And surely Wonkey Donkey was in there somewhere.
