I think I'd take this news with a pinch of salt, I'd hardly rate 'The People' as a reliable news source.


The People makes The Sun look like a newspaper!

Here's a facinating fact... The idea of reviving Tiswas has been rattling around for many years, but about a year or so ago Busted were commissioned to produce a new version of the theme tune. I heard it a few months back, it sounded great, but nothing ever came of a series.

For crying out loud. It would be one of the worst things ITV will ever do if they brought back Tiswas - with or without Chris Tarrant at the helm.

Dick and Dom should stay in the flipping Bungalow or become 'sensible' presenters again! Mad

Any chance of hearing this version?

I agree, Once its been done thats it move on to something new. I hope ITV decide to give MOM a chance to pull in the viewers, even if that means changing back to the old format of the show.

Whataday said he heard it a few months back. Didn't say he had a copy.

Kids want something more than Tiswas these days. The reason SMTV Live was so popular with Ant and Dec was because they are fantastic entertainers and have a wicked sense of humour which kids love - it went downhill as soon as they left, which shows that you can show any old crap, but the presenters really make a programme like that. Dick and Dom don't have *it* like Ant and Dec have, and neither do Stephen Mulhearn or Holly Whatsername.

I remember Brian Conley presenting SMTV once, he was fantastic. A Saturday morning show with him, or maybe Harry Hill or someone, would be a runaway success I reckon.

Depends how long into the original format you mean. I've got one show from 20 March 2004 and it was starting to turn into a fantastic show.

Then,come the end of July,it got ruined by not just the titles going.The Cakey Sk8 massive trifle is one of the best bits of set,but there wasn't much that stayed from the old MoM.

I have to ask why you are so obsessed with the MoM titles (or lack of them). You mention them in virtually every post you make.
