Kids' TV Champ - Radio Times vote

pjmlfc05

It's now 52% - 48% in favour of us! Keep voting before it's too late!

Interestingly, reading their facebook page, it seems they are all being blocked. But they are raising the same complaints that we are (we always seem to swing it back, we seem more dedicated than them, etc)

We ARE ahead and the longer we maintain that, the harder it is for them to swing it back since they will have both less time and will need to make more votes to effect an actual change.

Keep doing what you can.

52.58% now, one Sooty guy thinks its fixed for Knightmare to win, I doubt it with all this blooming hard work

HStorm

52.85% now.

As for a fix - rationalism and Sooty never did go hand-in-hand. Because Sooty was covering the whole hand.

If this goes to the wire, bear in mind that votes may still be accepted for a short time after 1400. One round last week ended at 1420.

I'm now in the office but will continue to do what I can.

53.6% just now! Keep voting everyone! Every single vote will make it that much harder for them to reel us in...

Funny that they think it's fixed in our favour - I was only wondering yesterday if the Radio Times staff were all voting for Sooty!

HStorm

Seems to be a Sooty-spam wave of votes happening right now.

FoxyLF

Doh, blocked now, it's still 53% or so.

HStorm

Just above 52% now. The lead is eroding quickly.

Mystara

The current cause of erosion is that the main sooty page (108k ish likes) made a post. That was over an hour ago now, so its effect has probably now diminished to near zero.

Canadanne

Currently at 52.32%... I hope there will be a final push on the Knightmare Facebook page before the deadline! This is a nailbiter!

HStorm

Now down to below 52%.

If you get banned, try rebooting your router. You should get a new IP address that the Radio Times website hasn't blocked.

Voting seems to have ended. At least there no longer seems to be a way to vote and the score is at 51.13% for Knightmare.

However, it's only 13:17 now.

HStorm

Ah, has someone at the Radio Times forgotten to turn the clocks back the other day?

Mystara

Don't think it can be. Otherwise Monday's vote would have ended early too.

HStorm

To greet this news, I have put up the following display of mature, Lord Fear-style, humility towards our worthy opponents on Facebook; -

In all seriousness though, that was one hell of a battle. And another round of it is still to follow.

FoxyLF

Thank god for that, well that means Knightmare is up against SMTV in the final, and Ant and Dec have a horrifyingly large following!

At least we beat a guy whose career was having a hand up a bear's arse

Mystara

Yes, I fear for this final round. With that said, maybe we can find an equal number of people that dislike ant and dec.

HobGoblin

Blimey, that was going to go down to the wire! I'll take that as a reward for all the hard work - particularly last night and rush hour this morning (when I was surprised and delighted to see us pulling away again).

KM may not be a household name in the same way as many of the generation-spanning shows it's competing against (I believe Sooty holds the world record as the longest running UK kids TV show) but this is further proof (if any more was needed) that it's very much loved.

It would be a travesty if SMTV won this - maybe we can get the Sooty lot to help

Gundrada

It would be a travesty if SMTV won this...

I think it's an even bigger travesty that Tom and Jerry was beaten by SM:tv

We've got to win this, for T&J, Knightmare, and the greater good!
