Does anyone know if they will be keeping CD-UK or will that be included into the Ministry of Mayhem programme (and be retitled Ministry of Sound).


cd:uk has been recommissioned to run for 52 weeks from january 3rd. They will then decide whether to continue again. If anyone remembers the very first SM:tv Live, Ant & Dec mentioned that they would be on air Live, every saturday morning for the next 52 weeks. And att he end of those 52 weeks they had been recommissioned, and againm and it just continued.

I believe cd:uk is keeping it's name, and that they will stay separate productions, much in the way it is now (all they really share now is the same production company and executive producer). Ministry of Mayhem is to be produced by foundation tv in maidstone, with cd:uk continuing to be produced by blaze at the river side studios in london.

Maybe one day, when/if Cat decides to leave, they will move one or the other and have the two shows joined together, and have the three fro MOM on cd:uk. I suppose if they do become one, a title like Ministry of Sound would be good, but unless they joined up with the actual ministry of sound (a bit like channel 5's Pepsi Chart), then they would have to go for something like Ministry of Music. Although cd:uk is a great name for a countdown show, if only it went back to its roots.

I'm surprised that Cat is staying on CD:UK. I thought she would have taken the opportunity to move on and start doing more prime time programmes like Ant and Dec.

Does anyone know if Chris Bellinger is getting involved with Ministry of Mayhem or was it just another rumour?

Do you mean The Riverside Studios or the London Studios which are by the river?

This show title sounds extremely close to the Ministry of Magic in the Harry Potter books....

MINISTRY OF MAYHEM??? Surprised Surprised Surprised

Sounds good to me!!! Very Happy

A pretty damn cool name I would say!

Motormouth was another damn cool name I thought, when I used to enjoy alternating between Motormouth and Ghost Train!

Are there any websites about Ghost Train at all, apart from the usual Sat morning websites which are always mentioned?
