    2.I know it's on the wrong thread but how did knightmare do in the cult pole on challenge (I don't have sky) and I'm too lazy to look!

    I can do this one. It won. It's detailed on the "Challenge Cult Selection Winners" thread in this Knews section of the forum.

    I'd also like to know the answer to your first question. I asked a while back on this thread with no response. Perhaps the default response is therefore: no news.

      Yup, no knews about ITV2 showing anything for the CITV celebrations... I assume the idea was abandoned.

        I watched the show and have been stuck in nostalgia mode all day.

        I'm suprised that The Dreamstone and Wacaday were missed out.

        On Woof! how did the turning into a dog thing pass on to a new person?  Was it genetic?

        "There's somebody at the door".  Grotbags should have her own show again.

            Poor Emii! comfies

            And Grotbags should definitely get a new show! Every generation growing up needs an ugly, green skinned, shrill-voiced, badly dressed witch to be frightened by. Well, I suppose Anne Robinson fulfils the criteria, but we still need Grotbags back!

            I'm only joking, Annie. Perhaps you and Grotbags could do a show together? Or at least invite her onto the Weakest Link Celebrity Witches Special.

              I remember watching Grotbags' show in 1992. There should have been more.

              I also think ITV2 should have a theme night where old presenters introduce classic shows (including our mutual favourite) corresponding to their particular era.

                Btw, did you see those kids in the background? They had absolutely no idea who any of them were!!

                Oh, one more thing: let's hope Roland Rat does get his own show. "Twinned with Kabul" indeed!

                  Quite what those stupid 9 year old children were doing, I have no idea. Around the same time as Grotbags was shown in 1992, they were only a glint in the milkman's eye!

                  Did the CITV presenters just go to some random school in Birmingham last month and pick a bunch of equally random children? They just got in the way.

                  The best bits I thought were the guests mind. Grotbags and Scally were rad, Roland Rat was cool and Matthew Kelly and Gary Terzza - just great.

                  And Jeanne Downs.....

                  I -LOVE- JEANNE DOWNS!!!!!

                      What has my comment got to do with Blackadder?

                        From Blackadder S3E1:

                        And who might that be? Pitt the toddler? Pitt the embryo? Pitt the glint in the milkman's eye?

                        Sorry if you thought it up yourself. Maybe I've just been watching too much of it recently <¦-)

                          When was this? Was it before or after the Matthew Kelly debacle?

                              I contacted the CITV webmaster and asked him about a theme night. He said:

                              "We did try to get an ITV2 theme night to tie in with the Birthday Bash but it didn't happen. Maybe in the future..."

                              Oh, well. It'd be nice to have one - I love wallowing in nostalgia!  🙂

                                I'm amazed Grotbags had a show in 1992.  I thought she was sent packing long before then!

                                I missed this special show - did they show Knightmare?

                                  They only showed a couple of clips, totalling about 20 seconds, from the first episode. Dammit! Still, the picture quality was amazing, having originally been mastered on digital tape.

                                  P.S.: Don't diss Grotbags!  😉

                                    I thought the CITV Birthday Bash was brilliant. Doing justice to a three-decade span of treasured memories was ambitious, and it could easily have ended up a cheap farce that scarcely pleased anyone, but the resulting organised chaos was a lot of fun throughout.

                                    And there's now a good deal of it on YouTube, thanks mostly to MrTvboy2009. Here is the 80s segment.
