Some comments about forthcoming schedules: that I might as well put here rather than starting a new thread.

The Fame Academy slot on BBC1 is occupied this week by that schedulers favourite Only Fools and Horses. Only Fools is still showing in the old Trevor's World of Sport slot on Friday as well.

It seems that that Jasper Carrott comedy "All about Me" is returning. I thought it was a flop first time?

Two new dramas on ITV1 are P.O.W. and Henry VIII

There's also a longer than usual edition of "Real Crime" airing in prime time on ITV1 next Tuesday. Who ever said there was no serious documentaries on ITV anymore!

Also a new show starting in a few weeks is "Celebrity Dog School"

Certainly not HTV. The Ferret, Wales This Week and Crime Secrets are just a few of the serious documentaries regularly on ITV -- although, clearly, not nationally.

But I can feel a well-worn argument coming on, so. Can't *wait* for Celebrity Dog School.

Only Fools and Horses - classic TV, but will someone please ban the BBC from repeating it. The BBC seem to have much more repeats in primetime than ITV, C4 and five!

The early morning schedule for Sunday 26th October seems a bit odd.

From 6am - 7am in GMTV time we have :

6am Meg and Mog
6.10am Boobah
6.20am Thomas the Tank Engine
6.30am Engie Benjy
6.40am Meg and Mog
6.50am Thomas the Tank Engine
7am Rugby World Cup

The 6-7 hour looks like CITV to me, they aren't GMTV Kids programmes are they ? (with the exception of maybe Boobah)

I see ITV1 are giving the 9:25-10:25am slot over to CITV for half term from Monday 27th October. Showing Pirate Islands and Seriously Weird. Trisha is at 10:30 and a shorter hour long This Morning at 11:30.

God, whats wrong with them both? Giving time to CiTV, thinking of the viewers? I remember when every holiday had Mr Motivator, and Power Rangers/Beetleborgs that was preceeded by an american girls cartoon , such as the dragonflies, something to do with fairies, and MAXIE, remember this one, could have been on tvam at first, unsure. The teenage girl that ran her own cable show after school, I always remember the pizza episode.

These didnt used to start until Lorraines time, about 8:30 ish, 8:05 is a bit much isnt it?

Perhaps together they are trying to take viewers away from CBBC who have their schedule till 10am from this monday.

It will be a shame as Im on holiday for a week, and wont get much chance to watch!

In both CITV and GMTV's case it might be a knock on effect of the rugby that they are down on the usual hours of kids programming.

They are flogging this Pirate Islands a bit arn't they, making sure everyone has a chance to see it!.

SM:TV Live is on at 2.20pm again after this weeks, it looks like it'll be yo-yoing between the two slots every other week

I reckon they have paid a lot for pirate islands. It was the first time i'd seen it this week, and it wasnt a bad show! GMTV have been showing most of their hours, though GMTV2 has been hit bad by the rugby. The only CiTV time that has been lost was an hour last saturday, and half an hour on sunday. But they made up for that with the 3 eps of pirate islands shown the previous saturday.

Im glad they are showing seriously wierd again. I think it was one of these where an itv company works with an american company as it was an english boy in america, but was made with itv end credits, the black/white version of credit board. It was interesting and a seriously wierd programme, didnt watch teh whole series, but Im sure its longer than 5 eps,unless they will show it on a saturday afternoon or something!

There is a more than welcome return for Harry Hills TV Burp on Thursday 30th October at 10.30pm ITV1.

Another cult Thursday night show to add to Turn on Terry. Laughing

Is that the 2nd series of TV Burp? What was Harry's other show that he did after series One of TV Burp?
