I'm pretty sure ITV[1] simulcasts CITV on Saturday mornings, doesn't it?

If it's on before 9.25, the BBC only ever used to show cartoons and other regular CBBC programming before 9 o'clock on a weekend anyway so they probably won't. If it's on after 9.25, and it's successful, then maybe. But it's highly unlikely.


Does anyone remember what time Smile was on?

Welcome, and thanks for finding that and posting it!

So it's under the CITV brand then. I thought they were done with using the CITV brand on the main ITV channel.


No worries and thanks for the welcome Smile It is good to see ITV/ITV Breakfast taking CITV seriously with recent shows like Fort Boyard, The Munch Box, bottom knocker street and the upcoming thunderbirds series - although I recall Gerry Anderson didn't like the newish Captain Scarlett series being aired as part of MoM so if scrambled returns in early 2015 that would be interesting. It would be great to see them get back into original drama, I know... times have changed but they were once such a force to be reckoned with in kids TV up till around 2006.

As for scrambled, JAS84 is right, people are comparing it to the wrong show, it does appear to be the spiritual successor to toonattik and CITV is now aiming for a younger demographic i.e. up to 12. There does seem to be something missing in kids TV these days - scrambled is interesting as its a type of show you don't see at all these days despite the fact that these shows used to be such an institution.

I've just seen promo for Scrambled, with the the 'tagline' Weekends will never be the same again. The presenters heads are one section of 4 'shapes' while the other 3 segmenta are of a cartoon character. I think their is one male and 3 females although its quite hard to see when they flash up for 2 seconds.

Anyway I suspect they'll probably go for YouTubers who look like One Direction members for the male contingent at least.

I'm glad they didn't go insane and try that idea. Then again, I didn't think they would.

When Brighton was mentioned, I was sure it was going to be Marcus Butler & Alfie Deyes.
