Saturday. 9.25 am. Turn to ITV. The CiTV (Children's ITV) logo animation starts. Then it's SM:TV Live time.




SM:TV Live, aka Saturday Morning Television Live, was a Saturday morning show which was on from 9.25 to (I think) 11.30 followed by CD:UK (CountDown United Kingdom) which was a music show. Presented by the same people they were sister shows and were hilarious and great to watch. Late-1999 to late-2001 in many ways is the glory days for CiTV. Weekdays had a bright fresh look with a cool sky-type studio...

(This picture is a bit darker and duller than what it actually looked like for some reason)
With great shows and presenters it was an awesome time. Tom, Danielle, Stephen and for a short while Andrea. Somehow the downfall of CiTV began in September 2001. The background for the CiTV animation was changed to a dark blue as well as the studio and the other animations disappeared (there was one with an island, one with a TV set, and as you can see in the above image one with a crab, and one with a spaceship). New presenters came and suddenly in December Tom and Danielle left. Hmm. Also Ant and Dec left SM:TV Live. They hosted it with Cat Deely.
I could go on but all I wanted to say was that I miss this show a lot (along with CiTV 2000-2001). It was hilarious.
Any that you miss?
