Children's ITV Continuity 1993

Here's some CITV pres from 1993- very early on in the dire Steve Ryde out-of-vision era. A trailer for Rolf's Cartoon Club and Tiny Toon Adventures followed by a rundown of the day's shows, then a colourised version of the 1936 Looney Tunes short "Porky's Poultry Plant". After this is a trailer for "Bangers and Mash".

During the advert break, the recording ends and after it comes back on half way through the "Tomorrow" trailer you see here. I don't know whether this is from the same day as the other stuff, unfortunatly- and where it begins is all that's on the tape.

Also, notice how the announcer at the beginning says the first show is Thomas The Tank Engine and Friends, even though it wasn't even being shown on this particular day!

home and away was on ITV? :o

[2001JamesTV]

It was on ITV until from 1989 until 2000. Channel 5 didn't even exist at this point in time!

I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THIS!!!!

For Tiny Toons being most viewed in Britain.

I used every tape I could get my hands on to tape this, even ones I shouldn't have.

Long live TTA!!!

I'm hoping that they release the DVDs they've bought out in America over here, but I'm not holding my breath. Same goes for Animaniacs and Pinky and The Brain. It's really frustrating when a DVD you want comes out in another country, but not here.

Thanks for uploading this.

Out of interest, did you get any of the Home and Away episode shown that day?

[2001JamesTV]

The Home & Away episode is actually what was being recorded, and the whole episode is on the tape. It's wasn't my tape though, and I've given it back to who it belongs to.

It was the beginning of the end for old skool CITV when they went out-vision. But still, given today's non-choice for kids, I'd welcome it back with open arms.

@2001JamesTV wrong channel 5 came around in 1997 so it did exist, but not till later on.

god, there was so much stuff i loved on CITV. It was amazing for cartoons, tiny toons, animaniacs, reboot and dream stone. bad influence and knightmare were well mint too.

They were the days :) makes me want to be 9 again.

[BomazXD]

lol bet the cartoon was removed cos it was rasict. not in a bad way but it was old n we were all politically confused back then

[fraserkatie]

Steve Ryde was a great announcer and if you look carefully you'll see him in the Rolf's cartoon club trail dressed up in a suit, and hat and glasses! He went on to be a producer of Dick and Dom's Da Bungalow (hell knows why those two are crap!) and The Slammer and was in Palace Hill as Jimmy and Wizadora as Tatty Bogle.

@SergioGeorginiJacket I weren't too keen on it myself but after about a year I got use to it as I saw this as a proper cut back although I was 5 at the time.
