Friday And Thereafter

Well the credits clearly read "RI:SE 2003", so I'd say that they weren't even thinking of last year's incarnation.

I only saw it from 8.25 this morning and I have to say it was very funny, especially at the end of the News when Zora threw awat the script and made observations about the presenters, but Iain and Kate appearing through the News was funny too, you could clearly see that everyone was having a good time.

But the funniest IMO was when they had that 3 Year old child on the phone and she went "Who's She?"

Nice C4 breakfast in-joke there...

I quite liked the bit when the bloke on the phone called Dougie a different name, was it Dudley? Quite funny.

It was nothing compared to the last Big Breakfast, but then that had been going for nearly 10 years.

It's a shame in a way that channel 4 aren't trying another morning show. Instead going for programmes. Maybe in a few years time, they may look back and reconsider, and look at the audiences of the programmes compared to the Big Breakfast and RI:SE's audiences.

I can never understand why RI:SE either changed the content from last year (especially towards the end of last year), or why they didn't go all the way and turn it into a mad entertainment show. That may have got the audiences. Perhaps if they had the bright colourfully lit set from pre jan 2003 then it may have worked. Oh well its gone now, and we can't change that. Let's just watch the morning movies next week and the programmes there after.

Actually I think I will dig out the christmas eps of the big breakfast for next week.

Lol, we had the telly on in the common room this morning with no sound and I remember just looking up and seeing mayhem during the news. Very amusing, and excellent light relief to end the programme.

It was Duncan. The caller said something like "just want to say I think Iain and Duncan are great"

Another brilliant episode of RI:SE, can't believe they've axed it. It was hilarious from start to finish and just shows they don't need "huge" guests. Just entertaining people to have a laugh with.

It may be would have stood more chance if it had come back with a new name at the start of the year as it's the only thing remaining from the original, that might have made more people watch it after being put off by the original format.

Anyway, according to that bookie who's on on a Friday it's got about a 9% chance of returning!

They didn't do a credits list on Newsround. Spoilsports.

Still, the last 15-To-1 was pretty good, with Bill signing off "I am William G Stewart. This has been Fifteen To One. Bye bye."

They'll probably show the credits on the Newsround Review of the year like they always do!

I saw Fifteen To One and it is a shame it is coming to an end really but William did give us many facts about the show which were interesting.

But I never knew the woman who gave out the prize and I think who is the V/O of the show was Mrs William G. Stewart.

RI:SE was great especially Zora's sign off. If they had renamed it at the start of the year it would have helped it so much as it was so totally different from the original thing.

*wishes for it to come back*

Did he give us one last rant about the Elgin Marbles?
