CITV had some good stuff but a lot of shite too. Could definitely get dicey at 5pm on CBBC, That's true, also the established "serious" shows were pretty good (Grange Hill or Byker Grove etc), but you could get stuck with some adaptation of a boring book you've never wanted to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westlondonmist Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) I thought CBBC was a bit shit. Blue Peter and News round were fucking boring and I never got in to Biker Grove or Grange Hill. Round the Twist was good but that was it. Andy Peters also came across like a creepy weirdo as did Phillip Schofield. CITV had Duckula, Victor and Hugo, Fun House, Spatz, Knightmare, Press Gang and Art attack. Edited July 12, 2022 by westlondonmist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted July 12, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted July 12, 2022 I don't have any real recollections of watching either loyally, but do remember watching the programs. When i think back to my childhood the things that spring to mind at DJ Kat during the weekdays before school (would leave for school as Mrs. Pepperpot was starting), then The Fun Factory on Sky One on the weekends which was back to back cartoons for like 6 hours.

Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted July 12, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted July 12, 2022 I always found it somewhat seasonal too, CITV always seemed better in the winter. BBC had some amazing shows on it like Round the Twist, Dizzy Heights Hotel and Alfonso Bonzo, but CITV always had the more edgier and funnier shows. Shows like Round the Bend and Zzzap would never see the light of day on the Beeb, but we're top shows that I loved. I always felt CBBC was let down by Blue fucking Peter and Newsround, CITV would be on my box at that time, but an eye on the time and a finger Ina remote for Neighbours starting.

Abe_Knuckleball_Schwartz Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) CITV for me, Knightmare, Bad Influence, Spatz, Mike and Angelo, Funhouse and Art Attack were all programmes I loved. CBBC had a few I liked, but as someone else mentioned, as I got older, I paid more attention to CBBC mainly because of Katy Hill on Blue Peter and Ellie Crisell on Newsround!

Paid Members PunkStep Posted July 12, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted July 12, 2022 The theme tune to Spatz was definitely used for a level in Micky Mouse Castle of Illusion, I'm convinced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time it looked impressive though. But Round the Bend, Knightmare, pretty much all the Cosgrove Hall stuff. CITV had some great stuff. The seasonal shout is great though. Often the BBC would blow through the good stuff and show any old shite instead. At least CITV had a bit more consistency about it over all.

Real Ghostbusters. I swear I watched Dogtanian on CITV though I think it was on CBBC originally. Raccoons was probably my favourite CBBC show, though was that Saturday mornings only? Can’t remember now. I think I always wanted to like CBBC more, like post invasion WWE, where you knew Raw was the flagship brand but Smackdown was better overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure CITV finished at 5pm. On CBBC had Newsround at 5pm, Blue Peter at 5:10pm, then Neighbours at 5:35pm. As much as I loved Katy Hill, I was always a Konnie Huq guy.

westlondonmist Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) T-Bag was a great show, I don't think I realised at the time it was educational. Pretty sure that was CITV.  Edited July 12, 2022 by westlondonmist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
