I thought Saturdays show was the best they've done for a while!. They actually had a proper interview with the guests for once!. Ram Ray was different this week, it had the McFly logo on the doors instead of the numbers also a really insulting but funny bit happened on Saturday on Holly's side anyway: After Stephen was having 'problems' with the sound effect for the thrid option for next week's Ram Ray question a cow sound effect was heard and we cut to Holly afterwards and stephen was heard in the background saying 'Thats a cow'.

Also why does age group in the audience change when ever McFly are on?. Most of the audience members looked twice the normal age they have in the audience this week.


I agree, McFly always give good value for money, maybe the reason why the audience changes is because people are going specifically to see McFly rather than going because they want to be on MoM.

The interview at the end reminded me of the end of Going Live!, you don't often see a fairly long straight forward question and answer session on saturday morning tv thesedays, everything is usually too fast moving. The joke about Holly feeling like Trisha was fun as well.

This and the McFly quiz, and the bulging eyes guy meant the guests were involved throughout with special one off items. Wasn't someone wanting this sort of thing last week?

It's a shame they couldn't repeat the 5 Star incident. It would certinally be good for McFly.

It had to happen when the Doctor was on wasnt it! Rolling Eyes
My VCR decided to die just as the Doc was on this morning and i ended up missing on the doc and the rest of the last half hour of today's MoM can someone enlighten me on what happened? and is it possible for someone to capture a high quality file of the last half an hour so i can put on to video CD so i record it to the rest of this morning's episode when i get a new VCR.

Thanks

Looks like Michael Underwood has found some more work

Quote:
Daily Mirror article :
MICHAEL Underwood is to co-host GMTV's Entertainment Today slot with Jenni Falconer and Ben Shephard. The hunky Ministry Of Mayhem star's first role was to don doublet and hose and hotfoot it down to the set of BBC1's Virgin Queen to check out the action. Michael, 29, says it's his dream job but adds: "The tights were possibly the most itchy thing I've ever worn." Look out for him from September 9.

SM:TV wasn't made by LWT

I think he's confused by the fact that when it first started, it probabally would have been an LWT "presentation" which would be due to the fact that until late 1998, all shows had to be played out by one of the regions if they were made by an independant company and was therefore a LWT prduction for ITV (I can't remember if this was the case with SM:TV/CD:UK, but I presume it was. It came from The London Studios, to the LWT bit would make sense). Certinally though, SM:TV & CD:UK have never been made by anyone other than Zenith.

The Chart Show was always a Yorkshire presentation, and the presentation of ITV Nightscreen (made by Intelfax) moved companies regularly Also, all Films & Imports had an endcap with your region's logo, and was a presentation by them. (And during the C3NE days, it was "A Tyne Tees presntation for Channel 3 North East"- very confusing!).

I thing SM:tv and cd:uk were simply an Ant & Dec production from day one, before going under the group name of Zenith and then becoming Blaze.

Yes, that's what I said, but I'm guessing (though my memory's hazy) that at the start, ti would have been an "LWT Presntation for ITV" for the fact that all shows made by independant companies still had to be played out by a region and have their endcap saying as much. SM:TV came from The London Studios andtherefore would have used LWT facilities, so this would make sense. Sometims, they'd also use the term " programme" which I believe means they commissioned it, though I'm not totally sure, but it was more common than "presentation". Around the same time the ITV logo changed they dropped both the "programme" and "presentation" endcaps (I believe shows were commissioned and played out by ITV network Centre by that point rather than the individual regions)
