Hi,
I was just wondering if Sabrina the Teenage Witch was played with credits on todays repeat of SM:TV GOLD on itv2 or cut down like itv1 love to do( Evil or Very Mad )???????

They cut half of the opening titles out, like they did the week before. The whole show was very most likely seriously cut down - at least during season 5 and 6, I prefered to watch Sabrina on CITV in the afternoons rather than SM:TV, as SM:TV usually cut it a little bit.

Oh, and what happened to Harvey? Did he get out of the linen closet? Was it in the original episode, anyone who's seen it in full? It doesn't say on the Sabrina episode guide site.

EDIT: Ah, I've found a transcript on The Sabrina Transcripts... it'll be interesting to compare what was on the show and what the original was actually like.

I was right, according to this page, ITV must "Schedule a minimum of 10 hours children's programming per week"


Yes, and even if they only produced 10 hours, they would attract a lot of criticism from the ITC and other corners.

But I do remember in 1998 when they showed about 90 mins of CiTV on a Christmas Eve afternoon, which is a first.


For some reason that sticks out in my mind. I seem to remember there was a Cleopatra (remember them?) "Comin' Atcha" Christmas special.


Well I have abut 30 mins of that afternoon on tape, basically it goes IVC, Hey Arnold, IVC and looking at tomorrow morning and then it ends, with the Cleopatra programme being part of the normal ITV Schedule, as it was preceeded with a 'Christmas on Granada' ident.

I know, SM:TV make it really confusing the way they cut it because you don't know what happened but luckly I have found out on that website (above) and he is alright the closet chucks him out, he is covered with slime and Sabrina and Harvy walk downstairs!

[quote="orudge"] I prefer watching it on CiTV in the afternoons! [/quote]
So do I because they don't cut it down as much, when they go for ads they don't leave it for 20mins in the middle and put a 'Sabrina' logo caption up, show a little of the credits and I am usually home to watch it as I am not always in on a Saturday afternoon!
[B]BRING IT BACK TO CITV [/B](in the afternoons!!)

It is much better to CiTV!

I bought the 'Best of Chums' video which came out in 2000, but it was basically the best of SM:tv Live, but Chums being dominant on the tape and it was very funny. But as I said some 20 or 30 pages ago on this thread somehow the tape has been damaged as the VCR almost chewed it up, but I have seen it really cheap in some shops, maybe Music Zone.

I know they released another one in 2001, but I didn't get this, I think you can still buy it, but it's something like £14.99, apparently they were planning a DVD release for this one, but it never happened.

Though on tape I still have all of Ant and Dec's last ever SM:tv and CD:UK which was fantastic, especially that episode of Chums too.

EDIT (15/11): I was in HMV the other day and they had The Best of SM:tv Live on video, but it was a whopping £16.49!!!!! Evil or Very Mad
