CiTV & Ministry of Mayhem thread

NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leah just mentioned that that was the last episode of All Grown Up for 2003, but it will be back in 2004. If they know that already, I expect it will be back in january. I wouldn't mind if they were new episodes!

After watching today's All Grown Up, which was the same one whown by SM:TV last Saturday, I've realised the amount SM:TV are cutting out! In the end, both Sabrina & All Grown up run around 20 minutes, when they shuold run to around 25. On Last weeks SM:TV, in addition to the pre-titles & final scene they also cut out around 3 minutes beween the two parts as well as a few other scenes, most of which related to Angelica and her report pn the cafeteria food whoch explains why on SM:TV last week after 2 short scenes it seemed to dissapear without resolution. Though CITV did cut ot a copule of bits that SM:TV did show last week, but all in all it means that around 5 minutes of the episode was cut by SM:TV. I presume it's similar for Sabrina, but as I haven't watched any of Season 7 on Nick, I don't know. Looks like they are cutting the episodes to only show te main storylines and cutting out the smaller ones. The question is- why?

To save time. Many on here wanted full titles & credits on chums, they did that. Along with that, and the old sketches (the Gold elements), they have live links and continuity between the shows, and they have less than two hours if you include the adverts. They didn't seem to cut the episodes down when the shows were running till midday.

Thouh there probabally won't be any garbage hunt this week, hopefully that will give them an extra few minutes not to cut out of the shows.

Well no CiTV christmas ident before the show, and no SM:tv christmas titles either. And with only a couple of little trees this year they ar ebeing a bit bar humbug.
Remember the days when Live & Kicking used to have a massive real tree, usually to the left of the centre stairs, and the last year they had it by that square thing next to the backstage stair windows.
Is it me or is it not feeling like christmas yet?

There are some pictures from the final sm:tv in this weeks ok magazine

Oh are there? Did they use the current set or revert back to the old one?

i don't know,

there are 4 pics and at first glance they look like they could be from any normal sm:tv but there's a pic from the final challenge ant which is set in front of one of those video wall things like brians brain used to be, which is why i'm assuming they're from the final show, there's a "secret of my sucess" and "emmenemerdale" pic, plus a picture of ant and dec holding microphones with cat in the middle with her arms around them and a load of celebs in the background. (im assuming they're singing)

There is no SM:TV Gold or Ministry of Mayhem scheduled for Saturday 3rd January. At 9.25am there is an animated film until 11am, "Titan A.E." according to Digiguide.

There are even more pictures in star magazine, (the current "gold" set was used) plus a more detailed descritption of the final show. the last ever chums revolves around ant, dec and cat moving out of the flat, the postbag returns with goodbye messages from celebs who couldn't make it and it all ends with a sing-a-long finale.

Sounds like a great final show. Can't wait, not long to wait either!

As mentioned in the january post, ministry starts the following week. I was hoping for a special, like they did before the september line up started looking back over highlights and previewing new shows. Oh well.
Is cd:uk still scheduled for this week?

Yeah, CD:UK is on at 11:30 on the 27th and at 11:00 on the 3rd Jan (didnt know which week you meant)
