Hi Larry Bundy JR , didn't know you were a CITV fan. Much agreed, I was hoping CITV might've had a special celebration event before they closed. Oh well.
@@stitch-bricks If you liked it, more power to you! Glad it made your childhood. Anyway, my real reason for hating it (to me): The voices grated horribly and the plots were dull as hell. Plus, none of the characters were likable or engaging.
To be honest, it *has* been more-or-less dead since 2006 (when ITV was allowed by government/regulators to drop out of children's programming). I am personally *amazed* ITV still show any kind of children's content at all! And any *such* reason for keep doing so (platforms/ITV2 mornings etc.) is just to keep any current TV regulator quiet.
I remember the agony of having to choose between my favourite CBBC and CITV programme that was on at the same time! Might have been Hart Beat and T-Bag. The thing is if you missed a programme, you'd almost certainly never see it again.
Im so sad this has gone from tv, my childhood from mike and angelo, to rainbow , fun house, and Art Attack and zappp to name a few, best programmes at its best, so miss this, now I have a son who loved watching it too. Was flickering through the channels the other day and was like wheres it gone. So online it is then.
😡🙄 *God, how I hated that!* Right up there with "Scooby-Doo" and "Peppa Pig". If anything, they should of had the end credits of "Danger Mouse" where he lights the bomb and it explodes. 😥
I had no idea it ended. I probably wouldn't be where I am now without Art Attack and the Rottentrolls. Those shows helped mold to my career path and sense of humor for sure.
Philippa couldn't have said it better myself. I loved watching the shows with my brother before school and then after. I remember talking to others as well about the same show the next day it was brilliant. It's such a shame that this way of viewing is coming to an end.
Surely say about the beginning of (August???) gone, the CITV channel could have thrown some of the old school progs as last hurrah and then have a title card "Thanks for watching", .....nada, not a peep, not a pip.
@@andrewmorrice9139 In its last half hour I thought I'd check it out just to see it out, I get better entertainment out of a flat tire on my bike - should have stayed watching the contents on my memory sticks before seeing Red Dwarf.
So someone in the Newsnight office was thinking “CITV is coming to an end. What’s the best way to pay tribute to CITV. The show that was on ITV.” And someone says “let’s get Philippa Forester. From CBBC. The one that made programs on the BBC. And she can mention how well CBBC did things. And then she can mention when she was on Tomorrows World. That programme made by the BBC”.
She's bob on the mark there; schedule TV was always a community event. You'd go to school the next day and talk about what happened on Goosebumps the night before, or Blue Peter, or whatever else happened to be airing.
Wasn't Wacaday part of TVam so technically didn't fall under the CITV banner?. Regardless, just looking at those classic kids shows is proof of a diverse ITV system that worked so well, one which no longer exists. I totally agree that routine is important, and the shared experience. Kids TV should be a requirement for public service broadcasting, and not just cast off onto a streaming platform. So glad I grew up in that golden age in the 70's and early 80's, and that even in adulthood could enjoy the likes of Knightmare and Dangermouse.
This paradigm shift is going to affect parents as when they were kids, they would come home from school and sit down and watch the telly as a family. I remember eagerly anticipating school to end so that I could come home and watch my favourite kids TV shows. I was brought up in the late 80's/early 90's, so Knightmare, Fun House, Mike & Angelo, Sooty etc. were the ones to watch. Kids today might enjoy having their own devices and shows to watch, but nothing compares to and whats's inherently lost is being with your family in the sitting room and watching the same shows together on a telly.
I find it hilarious how BBC managed to appreciate CITV, a channel owned by its neighbour (I couldn’t think of a better way to describe it), and its legacy more than ITV managed to appreciate its OWN channel.
It entertained a whole generation of kids that are adults today...in that sense its dont its job well. Just like our childhoods, so too CITV has now ended. It will be remembered fondly and that's a thumbs up👍🙂
Knightmare, Dangermouse, Funhouse, some of the greatest shows that treated children with intelligence providing them with worthy drama based and action/ fantasy, team based entertainment were childrens shows on CITV/ Children's ITV to give it both of its identities over those years. Both BBC and ITV in that just after school afternoon slot on terrestrial for those golden years actually competed against each other just as in the same way of getting adult audience share to get kids/ young teenagers back then watching that bit of time in the afternoon. I mean l could list so much of both sides combined.. Bertha, Raggy Dolls, Thundercats, Ducktales, Bananaman - Superted. Well now BBC and, ITV have given up on childrens programming, cause guess what there will still be plenty right now that do not, have ITVx!! Glad l got to enjoy that last era of dedicated childrens weekday terrestrial afternoon programming as a child all that time ago, and is an indictment on the 2 main sides, that is no more.
It's down to budgeting. Huge risk spending potentially millions on series aimed at children. Easier just to make crime or reality TV series with a guaranteed audience
Shame I miss out of programming from the 80s/early 90s (I was born in 1990). *Sounded great!* Strange you never mentioned "Count Duckula" from that period! The Beeb in the 90s/early 00s was good though, but I *was* more of an CBBC kid growing up. Got more into CITV when SM:TV started in 1999. Anyhow, it is less budget and *more* changes in children's tastes/reaches now more than anything in 2024. However, I would *certainly* say that ITV gave up on children's programming a long time ago (mid-to-late 00s) when the lovely Brown government and weak-as-water Ofcom let them drop out of it along with good number of PSB commitments (regional/religious programming etc.). Criminal really looking back as it was still a *good few* years before the digital switchover was complete. They only do whatever children's programming these days just to please regulators like Ofcom (who let them drop out in the first place!), same goes with all the other PSB commitments.
@@SuperTed19021 Yeah obviously Count Duckula also but literally if l would have listed more that l could have easily from how prolific that era was of great animation/ cartoon and other programming during the dedicated childrens/ early teens to mid teens slot would have had 1 even bigger comment! But like you l miss it all.
I think the move to ITVxKids is a bad idea. It's not distinguishable in anyway and its such a shame the old programs wont be made available on it. I know less of us are watching terrestial TV so the move to streaming is inevitable but I just wish they'd made it a bit more... Unique?
ITV *would drop any* children's content in 2024 if they *really* could. In all honesty, I am *that* surprised they are still trying to keep the likes of Ofcom quiet by *even* launching this ITVxKids, whatever it is called. Same with them still going with Regional news studios.
grizzly tales for gruesome kids, ZZZap!, my parents are aliens, girls in love, the worst witch, butter fingers, Bell's boy's, finger tips, bratz, Pokémon, flea bag monkeyface, How 2 and art attack were all really good shows.
*Sooty!* How can I forget! 😁 PS: Me and my twin sister were Sooty club members growing up! Also, *don't* ever mention to me the piss-poor all-animated version that came out in the late 90s!
Still a better final send-off/tribute than what the actual channel did (I mean they could have hightlighted all the shows they aired over the years or even a montage of them with presentators but obviously they didn't and it sucks because of that).
ITV gave up on CITV and original content years ago. You can say times have changed and kids are only interested in streaming online now but is it any wonder?
*Bang on about your comment about ITV giving up on original children's content!* That was now 18 years ago (2006). The only reason they are showing *any* of kid content is keep the likes of Ofcom happy (who let them drop out to begin with).

Dangermouse was also on CBBC. Weird choice of clips by the BBC. I think the huge factor a lot of people ignore is children are mainly watching things on UA-cam like Mr Beast and Sidemen or unboxing, gaming and Yu-Gi-Oh card playing
I really can't believe😒 that they have decided to close down CITV forever like this and moves all the shows to ITVX Kids as a streaming service, seriously what's the point of all this because there aren't going to be anymore cartoons/anime on freeview channels and this is a stupid decison.

Beside, children are now *completely* different today into getting their content compared to just a decade ago!

Like them or not, the BBC *still* has a proper commitment to children's programming or PSB remit. ITV has *not or hasn't* done since the mid-00s (same went with all other PSB commitments like religion, regional etc.). They only carry any kind of it left to shut up any TV regulator. They would *more-than-happily* drop any last children's content or any last kind of PSB content *in a heartbeat* if they could!
I would have been a hard rider for UA-cam back in the day , free content, unique and always changing … it was great …. But my older teenage years where ruined because of it… and now I’m seeing kids on it more and it’s sad… kids don’t remember half the videos they watch as it’s a constant stream of junk from one creator to the next… but ask me or any of my mates growing up on a certain quote from SpongeBob, Ed ed’n eddy , all the way to regular show… and we still laugh… I still look up clips on UA-cam to remember certain scenes …
Really? How many more bloody channels will go onto stupid computer screens, and then people wonder why children are so obsessed with computers and tablets at such a young ages! I give up. This is so depressing
*THAT'S A NAME FROM THE PAST!* 😁 I'll have to look up her resume somewhen, quite sure she did something like "Live and Kicking" at some point, or was it "What's Up, Doc?"
BBC did a better tribute to CITV than ITV did!!!
Hi Larry Bundy JR , didn't know you were a CITV fan. Much agreed, I was hoping CITV might've had a special celebration event before they closed. Oh well.
Hoi u
Agreed Larry. The way ITV didn’t even acknowledge it’s entire legacy is simply an absolute joke.
ITV would only do that to the soaps and talk shows.
Shame that WACaday was TV-am and not CITV, but as you say, better than no tribute at all!
The fact that newsnight gave a better montage and presentation than the channel itself on the last day really says something….
Although they showed Wacaday! which was a tvam programme.
From Horrid Henry to Mr Bean to even Sooty, CITV will always be remembered by the millions it inspired. R.I.P CITV
Update: The ITV2 block is CITV so whilst the main channel is off air
for good it lives on ITV2

Many who watched CITV would also remember that Thomas the Tank Engine aired on the channel.
I remember when Series 3 aired on there.

I agree with Philippa totally- 20 year old here
@1:14 - Wac-a-day was on TV-AM, not CITV.
Not that I like being pedantic or anything....
Heh, BBC talking about ITV
Like them or not, the BBC *still* has a proper commitment to children's programming or PSB remit. ITV has *not or hasn't* done since the mid-00s (same went with all other PSB commitments like religion, regional etc.). They only carry any kind of it left to shut up any TV regulator. They would *more-than-happily* drop any last children's content or any last kind of PSB content *in a heartbeat* if they could!
I would have been a hard rider for UA-cam back in the day , free content, unique and always changing … it was great …. But my older teenage years where ruined because of it… and now I’m seeing kids on it more and it’s sad… kids don’t remember half the videos they watch as it’s a constant stream of junk from one creator to the next… but ask me or any of my mates growing up on a certain quote from SpongeBob, Ed ed’n eddy , all the way to regular show… and we still laugh… I still look up clips on UA-cam to remember certain scenes …
bbc and itv replaced Saturday morning tv with cooking programs crap
Bad move
Shame it's not the BBC to close.
Zzap, kappatoo
Kids... Goats
Really? How many more bloody channels will go onto stupid computer screens, and then people wonder why children are so obsessed with computers and tablets at such a young ages! I give up. This is so depressing
CBBC a should be moving online next year however we don’t have a date yet
I think it's more smart TVs and less people shelling out for cable packages like Sky
The years have not been kind to Phillipa Forrester
*THAT'S A NAME FROM THE PAST!* 😁 I'll have to look up her resume somewhen, quite sure she did something like "Live and Kicking" at some point, or was it "What's Up, Doc?"
GREAT Shows. Here's to ITVX Kids having the plug pulled very fast.
I hate online
I hate digtal sever
Why did they open the itvx channel before itvx kids
