Does CITV have any plans for a new Saturday morning show, or has that ship sailed?

(is Saturday cooks getting any viewers)


Saturday Cooks is actually getting less viewers than Saturday Kitchen on BBC1. Saturday Kitchen has been getting over 1 million viewers each week and Saturday Cooks gets around 600,000. The irony here is that ITV paid Anthony Worrall-Thompson a fortune to do the exact same BBC show on ITV and he's getting spanked.


Hmm ok that works Rolling Eyes MOM / Showdown used to get around 500,000 with cduk on around 700,000 and yet that saturday morning line-up was replaced with this cack, all for however many wads of cash Worrall-Thompson was paid! And the irony of it all is ITV axed both MOM / Showdown & CD:UK because of budget problems. Evil or Very Mad

Yep...Saturday Cooks is getting pretty much identical figures to Saturday Showdown...ITV's official line at the moment is "these things take time"! Smile

Ah, they're thinking the line they used with SM:tv those many years ago will work now eh? Laughing Difference is these cookery shows are pretty much identical - and why would people want to switch to ITV when they can have a show with no adverts and better original quality on the BBC? At least the beeb are catering for everyone by putting their kid's shows on BBC2. ITV just flung Showdown on the Citv channel for a few weeks and then bam, gone Rolling Eyes

The whole "these things take time" thing was used when SM:tv was against Live & Kicking. Even though SM:tv did get off to a rough start, there was always potential - at least it was a good alternative to the patronising Blue Peter style of editorial L&K were dishing out.

I know stuff. I'm sure Aston does too, probably much more than me, but I don't think the team would appreciate info being banded around forums - sorry!

You could just have PM-ed the guy, or was that just for personal grandeur? Rolling Eyes


Not really. I'm sure many more folks on this forum know far more about bigger shows than this. I must PM posters who start threads because Jonathan says so. Get over yourself.

Frankly I am fed up of you. Can you jujst stop picking fights like you attempted to in the ''Is Paul Coming Back Thread.' PM me in future if you need to make a **** of yourself.

The only **** I see around here is you. Sure, you've got your seamus's around lord bless em, but you're not even remotely funny. And no I'd rather not PM you - I know you're a huge fan of the PM system here when it comes to abusive messages (sadly I've not had this honour yet) so feel free to send me a barrage of them. Just don't expect me to read any.

So there no chance of a Saturday Morning kids show returning to ITV?

Let’s hope the BBC one is half decent.

Although I’m sure Tilly mallet controls a company that make kids programmes for GMTV.

Does anyone have any new news about the new show thats supposed to be starting on BBC 2 in September?

Why does CBBC need to remain on BBC2 during the Autumn? I understood it was because of sports coverage that it moved for the summer, so is there any reason why the Saturday morning show, whatever it is, can't return to the main channel?

Look, I don't know how old you are, but you better know yourself because all you're doing is picking on me in this forum. You're a bully, a cyber bully and a pathetic one using the internet to do so. Just leave me alone and don't talk to me in this forum.

I think the decision was made earlier this year for it to stay on BBC2 because they felt Breakfast and Saturday Kitchen should be on BBC1.

lol, staggering. Scroll up the page. I didn't roll my eyes at you after you posted a perfectly reasonable response to the opening writer did I? If you dish it out, expect it back in twice as many doses. You only have yourself to blame for any comebacks.
