Hmm...on TMi's wikipedia page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TMi

"On November 13, 2008 TMi will be ended after three seasons."

I'm sure it's supposed to say December 13th as there is no Saturday 13th November this year. Not sure what to think of that though, hope that bit isn't true.

It's wikipedia, what do you expect? Wink

I have noticed that bits of information keep changing every few months on that wikipedia page. Just after series 2 ended it said "TMi will return in September 2008" then it was removed shortly after.

Has there been any news on how Blue Peter will celebrate its 50th Anniversary in October? According to the BBC Jobs website, the programme is "...looking forward to some exciting and headline-grabbing celebrations...."

The CBBC website is asking for kids to appear on the new series of TMi in September, though it was announced that it would be back in October. I just hope TMi gets more than 90 minutes this time.

I agree, it was too short, not in studio content, but I thought the first series worked better being spread over 2 hours and 45 minutes, they may aswell just put the programmes within TMi, that's how Saturday Morning TV has always been and how it should be brought back.

I just wish that the BBC would put more faith into TMi, but then again being on BBC Two with no competition from ITV, it's as though they can't be bothered to.

I thought the first series of TMi only went on for 2 hours from 9-11am? Even though the first series had the extra half hour between the two series, the first series was padded out more with additional programming like Prank Patrol which was at least 20 minutes long and there was other programming added, can't remember if it was cartoons or not.

Still, I'm glad TMi is back, I haven't had a giggle since the likes of Mr Lee on Ministry of Mayhem a few years back.

Looking at the recent Saturday Morning shows they've all been 60 minutes long but they go in the "filler" category don't they?

Ah the days of MoM, the days when ITV still cared, not many years ago, but how things have changed.

As for TMi, the first series ran from 9-11.45am and then straight into Sportsround. It included likeaballs, which was later replaced by the cramp twins (i think), the secret show and prank patrol, along with the flat based parts.
