can i just say, i love watching GMTV, especially at Christmas, and especially the Christmas Eve Party - fantastic every year! Just wished the presenters opening presents now, as they dont seem to bother no more.

Oh yes, Christmas Eve on GMTV is just fab. The school choir, the christmas tree, the christmas titles, Roy Wood & Wizard miming to "I Wish it Could be Christmas Every Day" and advice on how to stuff your turkey. It is just the kind of show to get you in the Christmas spirit. I love it.
Roy Wood has been on two years in a row aint he? Gud though!
I think he has a permanent booking with GMTV for Christmas Eve, he's been on for as long as I can remember. Last year I seem to recall he had the cheeky girls on his coach with him as well.
I think you'll find GMTV is quite popular on here, even for a site that seems to be like a BBC conspiracy at times. People only watch Breakfast for Moira, they don't *actually* like it..
Yes I've noticed that, GMTV generally does get a good word in on this forum
Re changing the studio, besides minor alterations I don't think it is really neccessary, I don't think we want to go down the road of BBC Breakfast with revamp after revamp. GMTV's studio looks nice and cosy for a breakfast show, the BBC Breakfast studio is meant to look huge and is quite cold with all that white
Oh yes, I may flick onto Breakfast on the odd occasion for a few minutes, usually when it's being regional, but an unashamed GMTV fan here too. Cosy, friendly, funny, colourful, neat graphics, excellent journalism imo, just a brilliant balance all round -- until Lorraine comes on, then I leg it.
And.. after discussing it on this here official GMTV thread for official GMTV comments etc, Carla pops up on the sofa with John today. [Unless she was on yesterday and I didn't see her].
Kate did the newshour yesterday, and Angela was reading from the newsdesk during the newshour. There were lots of jokes including poor John Stapleton today, one from Richard Arnold and one from Ben Shephard. Carla makes him look much younger...
a) Pokemon is from Sky, not it's sister channel Fox Kids. Ditto Transformers: Armada.
b) Disney owns the US version of Fox Kids.
c) Sky owns both the UK versions of Disney Channel AND Fox Kids - GMTV Kids entire output is from BSkyB, not Disney and Fox.
d) The only exception (except home grown stuff like Boohbah) is X-Men: Evolution, which is shown on Cartoon Network - GMTV got the rights because XME is made by Saban, which is part of the US Fox Kids.
In summary: GMTV Kids is Sky Kids on terrestrial.
Incidentally, Sailor Moon and the last three series of Power Rangers (Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force, and Wild Force), never finished. I wonder why? Power Rangers, after all, is Fox Kids UK's highest rating show!
Where's the Sunday Programme gone? I like that as well.
The Sunday Programme is off for the summer, it will be back in September.
Bet that means Diggin It will lose it's Sunday slot - Up ON the Roof launched new titles last week featuring clips of the current lineup (Pokemon, Ninja Turtles, Spiderman) and shots of Jamie Rickers and his spoof superhero sidekick Gasman. I hardly think they'll last only eight weeks!
That was about right - I think in the Diggit days UOTR was first but they kept switching round...
For the summer Diggin'it starts at 6.30 followed by UOTR.
And just to correct a previous post: Disney does not own Fox Kids US (in fact in the States the channel is called Fox Family) - but Disney does own a large share of Fox Kids Europe. When they first bought it they mooted renaming FK UK as Disney something, but that appears to have been dropped for now. Sky Ventures owns a stake in FK UK through the Fox/Sky connection (SV also own a share of Nick) and FK owns Saban. UOTR shows are sourced from various producers including WB (who distribute Pokemon and X Men Evo) and Saban/FKE, Diggin'It is produced by (and features programmes from) Disney.
Is Diggin'it still at Teddington? And is Disney Channel from there too, or somewhere else?
