Bad Influence, Knightmare, Wolf It, Real Ghostbusters... Man, I loved all them shows, would get home from Primary school, watch them, play me some Sonic 2... Good times. Thanks for the total nostalgia trip! Crazy that you have had these laying around on VHS so long!

[fraserkatie]

Steve Ryde also played Gordon Flycamp who was on the set of Whats up Doc here!

[feckingbillgates]

Rex is NOT A HUMAN'S NAME.

Was that the first incarnation of the Woof! dog? I can't remember, but they started having different ones later once the actors changed and I remember not liking it as much.

[AidanLunn]

Yer it is. My dad's called Rex.

It's a very rare human name, but a human name nontheless.

[xenepp]

Yeah, of course it is, like Rex Harrison. The guy doesn't know what he's on about.

[feckingbillgates]

Rex Harrison had a dog's name. His parents probably had difficulty deciding between that and Fido.

[AidanLunn]

Well there you are, a human has a dog's name therefore it can be a human's name *rolleyes*

[feckingbillgates]

I wasn't being serious. I know I wasn't being hilarious but I wasn't being serious either. Thanks for the thumbs down though.

[2001JamesTV]

Rex was the second boy/dog. I have the first few minutes of an episode from 1991 on tape, but I've forgotten what the boy's name is, I'll have to di it out.

[feckingbillgates]

I think the first boy/dog was called Eric. That was a much better era than the Rex one. I seem to remember the reason for the character change was rubbish too. It was something like Rex caught it off Eric one day, like turning into a dog was some kind of contagious illness all of a sudden.

[Hounddogg36]

got that snes with mario all stars for xmas, was a happy boy!

Great clips!

[kcy29581]

Brilliant memories here! I especially love how they used a very topical "Tribal Dance" from 2 Unlimited as their backing music in the last continuity sequence!

[AidanLunn]

you mean in the CITV logo?

[kcy29581]

I mean at the end when they're doing the last continuity sequence, starting at around 5:58.

[AidanLunn]

Oh. Still, the closing CITV logo just before that sounds similar :)

[AidanLunn]

Judging from the 1992 datestamp on the end of "Woof!", this must have been extremely early in the Steven Ryde era - possibly just a few days or weeks after the February 93 relaunch!

[AidanLunn]

Edit, I've just looked again and it is a 1993 datestamp.

[AidanLunn]

The CITV ident in this has to be the best looking though!!!

[leemo1982]

man this was back in the days when kids TV was good. Kids today don't know what they're missing with the stuff we grew up with.

[uhegbu]

I used to watch most of these CITV programmes including the animated version of 'The Legends Of Treasure Island'. I wonder if comedienne Dawn French provided the voice of Jim Hawkins, the hero of the story.

[vtx264]

yeah I thought it sounded like her. Just checked wikipedia and there was lots of "big names" doing voices for the cartoon. Hugh Laurie, Richard E Grant, Chris Barrie, Rob Brydon...

[2001JamesTV]

I sometimes get suprised at the casts they do sometimes get for these cartoons. The Foxbusters- which I've uploaded a few episodes of- has Whoopi Goldberg on the cast, which I find quite suprising- to see a Hollywood celeb on a silly British cartoon series.

[2001JamesTV]

Though as a fan of animation, I'm never particularly keen on filling up the main cast with celebs- which seems to be a trend now. That and the obsession with CGI over hand drawn animation is one reason why I don't care for many modern cartoons.

I have half an idea for a cartoon myself, though I wouldn't care for celebrities playing the main roles (though I have come up with characters for Trevor & Simon, not that they really class as star names).

[Halfbricktv2]

Fantastic Citv footage from 1993, and those adverts in the breaks looked good.

[AidanLunn]

For some strange reason I really like that Closedown "tomorrow" trailer!

[putthetellyon]

I used to love Woof! Quality programming all gone.

[AidanLunn]

except if ITV put their hand in their pockets and buy the rights to repeat these programmes.

BTW, repeats of Fun House begin in May on Challenge.

[AidanLunn]

Update - they've been shifted to July.

[AidanLunn]

I find it a little strange how Steve talks to us as if he knows us - yet we can't see him lol!

[2001JamesTV]

Well, you can see him because he's in both the Bad Influence and What's Up Doc trailers.

[AidanLunn]

Yeah. well i didn't mean that. I know it was the same person but not the same character. He's being himself as the announcer but he's playing a character in the trailers
