Its a shame for kids today that they have no CITV at all(yes there is the channel but not everyone has freeview yet and it looks a bit rubbish to be honest).
I never really liked Thomas but the music is good, Tommy looked rushed here but still pretty funny.
well between 1989 and 1991 (when they used the generic "ITV" logo on CITV like this) it was made by a privately-owned company at Central's studios. Central won the contract back from whoever it was in 1991, when they introduced the classic 90s "Citv" logo.
@vikingsmb Good! Not *many* people do! I *too* feel :D that you do.
I'm after the *final* episode 'On Your Bikes'; I used to have it taped off CBBC onto a blank video tape in 1989 (some time after Wednesday the 13th of September, the date my younger brother was born) but the tape got broken some time in 1996 around the leap year date, as the tape featured the Yellow Submarine which I liked watching the most of the tape
(comment continued) @vikingsmb and, two years *later* (1998, of course), the tape's 'wires' under the tape's plastic shell weren't there anymore, so all I could do with the tape *now* was *throw it away* :(
It was decided that Central should be responsible for all children's presentation on ITV because they were responsible already for the schools output.
The year is 1995.
I've just come home from school.
My homework is done.
I've got a strawberry milkshake in one hand and the TV remote in the other.
Time for a dose of Roger and the Rottentrolls, the Spooks of Bottle Bay, and Art Attack.

Thanks for a very interesting video.
I didn't realise that the second series of Thomas was being shown in the early 90s. I take it that it didn't get shown again after Series 3 began.

Seems like he didn't have much time before Thomas was due on!
I remember this stuff vividly, the more I watch it, the more I want to be 10 again! :-(

The whole IVC here is a bit shoddy; but saying that its more than what they've got now!
Wasn't it Central that produced CITV in-vision if I'm not mistaken?

Yes it had a human touch and an element of warmth about it.
A stark contrast to the cold corporate environment of today!.

That company was called Stonewall productions. IMO, it was the best era of CITV - Jeanne Downs was excellent.

@BCJ1985
in my opinion, CBBC was/is crap, CITV was way better in them days,
and had better shows, like the spooks of bottle bay (remember that) and the real ghostbusters :)
vikingsmb 1 year ago
@vikingsmb Yes the Real Ghostbusters *was* one of the good CITV shows.
*Other* good CITV shows were:
Action Force
was the Get Along Gang shown on CITV?
The Junglies (even though *it* was shown more on *TV-am*, not really *CITV*)
Transformers
Transylvania Pet Shop
Wizadora
ZZZap!

(comment continued) @vikingsmb Though *some* of the good *CBBC* shows were:
Get Your Own Back (though I only liked the *1995* series, which was the last year of the *fairground* themed series)
Henry's Cat
Julia Jekyll and Harriet Hyde
Out of Tune
PC Pinkerton
Visionaries

@marbles333 CITV was produced by Central but since '06 it has been produced out of vision in a cupboard in the Granada Studios.
