Erm, was I dreaming or did I just see two plasticine animated monkeys on an ITV1 ident before You've Been Framed ?

Two plasticine monkeys? Were they on the itv ident set with any music and logo, or was it just two monkey's with an anno on top?

I cant think what programme this could be trailing; like the koala's trailed im a celebrity.

They were dancing about, a bit like Ant & Dec on a mock up of the itv ident set.

They look like aardman animations from the look of them. They do strangely look like ant and dec in monkey form. Unless its a new animation series coming to itv1.

Anyone know if 2DTV will be returning?

There isnt enough adult animation, you have south park, had 2DTV, and more recently monkey dust, I would like to see the aliens inbetween BBC Three programmes (dont remember their names) where they explore the kitchen, and one always dies, its fun, a bit of light enteratinment. Would like to see a series of these, even though the short ones (made by momentum) were made in 2001!

Yes, apparently 13 x 10 minute episodes are to be aired in the Autumn during prime time on ITV1. Not sure where they'll fit these into the schedule.

More details from the aardman website:

Wasn't Creature Comforts a Channel 4 thing? Though it's nice that ITV and Aardman are doing this again for TV, as the C4 versions were Oscar Award Winning. But you'd expect Aardman only do things for the BBC wouldn't you? Though it'll be intresting to see what it will be like.

As for 2DTV, it's been off for too long and it's been off at the wrong times, as they have missed The Iraq War, Posh and Becks going to Spain etc, when will this superb show be coming back? (And what about a Series 3 of The Sketch Show?, well not now as we've only just had Series 2, but it'll be nice to know if it has been recomissioned.)

I have all of the Creature Comfort ads on DVD, as they were superb too, shame they only ever made a few of them.

2DTV usually comes in at the end of November, and runs throught until early January, over Christmas.

Yes a nice addition to the set, even if I don't like them, it adds a bit of 'fun' to the set.
And I just captured it so here it is if you want to see it:

No - it was for a set of commericals that everyone thinks is British Gas, but is actually some electricity company.
