CITV continuity clips, promos and ads (2001)

- Lots and lots of CITV clips and ads, all from the same tape, the majority of which are from March 2001. Presenters are Danielle Nicholls, Stephen Mulhern, and that Arthur Darvill bloke off of Doctor Who (a.k.a. Tom), but get this: they were running a contest for a new CITV presenter! If I'd known, I'd have been well up for that at the time, and the fact that I would have been rubbish wouldn't have been enough to stop me. The quaintness of submitting your audition on VHS isn't lost on me, either.
[EDIT: Despite all being together and in this order on the tape, it seems that we jump forward from March to June - possibly Monday 4th - around the 26:07 mark. Many thanks to @TrevorDistance, @KyleJBAwesomeness-OfficialChan and @David315842 in the comments for helping to get to the bottom of this.]
Anyway, there are plenty of TellyTots links around episodes of The Little Grey Rabbit, complete with simple counting or colour-matching games, plus CITV promos for brand new shows Petswap and Twister, along with talk of Pokemon, Scooby-Doo, and Brilliant Creatures. Nigel Mitchell nearly makes an appearance as a guest, and there's a phone-in competition to identify the cartoon character from the clues.
As for the ads, Ronald McDonald himself pops up a fair bit in what was getting close to his last hurrah here in the UK, Disney are flogging their sequel to Lady and the Tramp, the marketing for Rowntree's Bursting Bugs is positively horrific, Jammie Dodgers are apparently setting up a truly bizarre-looking campaign, and much, much more for you to enjoy.
Huge thanks to @David315842 for sending me this tape.

Thank you so much for posting this! We now have access to Little Grey Rabbit being on Telly Tots!!! To be completely I never knew Dog & Duck/Little Grey Rabbit were airing together as well, I was just thinking of just Dog and Duck/Kipper but thanks so much anyways!!!
You're very welcome indeed - glad to have helped fill that particular gap. I _may_ have some more, so stay tuned. :-)
The month and year I was born, so cool to see!
That would be March 2001. :)
OMG… i’m gonna cry…. 😢23 years ago?!?!?! 😢😢😢😢 I remember watching pokemon on CITV as well as on Sky One. I feel SO old now! 😢I was 16 at the time of this video
Horrific, isn't it? The years have just flown by. Plenty more similar clips from the era to come on my channel soon, so stay tuned. :-)
@@VideotapeFTW Don't suppose you have any CBBC stuff from 2000 and 2001 do you?
@meridian2000 Not as much as CITV, but yes, a few short clips - they'll be coming soon.
Fantastic thanks.
I do think that there might be some Sky One continuity associated with Pokémon somewhere on my tapes.
So many memories, those Rowntrees bursting bugs were amazing. I was 9 in 2001 so i remember the most from this era, in my eyes the late 90s and early 00s were the golden age of CITV. The channel wasn't afraid of taking risks, so many quirky programs were being made during this time, and the ads are just the cherry on top. When would get a 2D animated advert for Charmin toilet roll in 2024?!
Ah 2001, the year CITV's budget cuts were starting to take effect (25% of it at least), also the year ITV proposed the idea of a CITV Channel which would not happen for another 5 years. Funny to see where the presenters are now, Stephen Mulhern does DOI with Holly (feels like an MOM reunion), Danielle Nicholls is on TalkTV of all places, and Arthur "Tom" Darvill is a stage actor.
I thought that the budget for the show at the time was pretty much the same as it was since 1998, maybe even more so, but that's only going by the size of their large TV monitor and main studio, which they would have up till 2003 at least. :)
I think everyone was cutting back at the time, due to advertising money not being what it was previously. Rules had changed as well, hence TellyTots being allowed a sponsor.
@@VideotapeFTWThat's true. That explains why we have a CGI Milkybar Kid awkwardly open a parachute on screen. :D
I had no idea they were airing Little Grey Rabbit on TellyTots! I didnt think it counted as a Telly Tots show
Yeah, I honestly don't know how long it ran for, but it seemed to be a daily show at this point.
@@VideotapeFTW I'll bet it was a year long show considering how many episodes there were
@@VideotapeFTW By the way I sent something to the good ol' email. ;)
Sorry to bring it up here but I have so many updates haha
It was for the under 5's, so it was on the correct age group.
@@VideotapeFTW 26 episodes that aired for one series in 2000. But it was repeated as seen here. I don't recall it lasting beyond 2002 though.
I think it was 2 almost 3 weeks by the looks of it. :D Despite the randomness of it all I'm glad that you enjoyed the ads and continuity. regardless of what Mulhern said I doubt that job was a permanent one, I think ITV would have had some stern words thrown at them by certain Government departments. It's more likely it was a temporary one, under close supervision of course. yes, the incomplete quest for the Rowntree. The Bursting Bugs ad was not the last one, but it was fast approaching the end to a quest that was never completed by Rowntree. I had almost forgotten about those 'We do Ron' adverts for McDonald's that were doing the rounds at this time. As you said, these were the last few we see, before they retired him from advertisements etc.
Oh, I definitely always enjoy these types of clips, so thanks for recording them! Some decent ads as always, but it was the continuity and promos that I liked best.
I've just looked it up, and CITV had three new presenters start in September 2001 - I wonder whether these submissions were at least part of that audition process. It seems they really were looking for new presenters at the time, anyway.
@@VideotapeFTW I remember they got a new female presenter and she joined Tom, you may see her in other tapes I sent I'm not sure, but yeah by 2002, I think the lineup had changed to the point where Stephen and Danielle were no longer there, but someone else. The promos and continuity were very energetic and just full of fun, but then they had to be for their target audience. :) It sure was nostalgic seeing these again, even for me. :)
Yeah, I remember coming across a short clip with Leigh Morrison in it, but I'm not sure whether I've uploaded it or not. Leah Charles also started at the same time, but it wouldn't surprise me if she was approached for the job rather than needing to enter the competition.
@@VideotapeFTW I don't really recall anyone around the age of 16 presenting the show, if so, it wouldn't have been on a perminant basis. Not in 2001 at least.
@@David315842 Yeah, I think that was just the minimum age for entry. I'm pretty sure the next new presenters were all in their 20s.
I absolutely love pre-school stuff on CITV
Little Grey Rabbit, Petswap and Twister - three more one hit wonders for kids TV that was never renewed again
Brilliant
I'm nothing like him thank you
23 years ago this month 😮😮😮
It's genuinely scary, isn't it?
The timing?!
@@VideotapeFTW I know I was 13 in 2001 😀😀😀
Not watched this yet but is there any Batman of the Future/Superman TAS stuff in this?
In terms of animated Batman, these may be of interest:

I've been trying to locate CITV stuff from 1995 do you have any
This continuity continuity compilation is actually from May-June 2001 because of the new season of Brilliant Creatures and the new host audition search with Leah Charles, David Leon and Leigh Morrison joining the host roster the following September that year
No, it isn't. Check the Jammie Dodgers ads at 11:20 and at 20:46, both of them have the end date for their competition being March 31st. The Brilliant Creatures episode may have also likely been a repeat. They may have said that it was a 'new series' since it replaced a pre-existing show in that time slot, even though the episode may have been a repeat, sometimes they cheat that way. The CITV search officially began at this point and would have taken months to sort out the finalists. By a good six months it may seem, if the finalists joined in by September.
@@David315842I think you're both right, in fact. From the start of the recording to 26:07, it's definitely clips of assorted March dates. But after that point the tape does appear to skip on to just one day from early June (specifically the 4th I believe).
CITV absolutely did sometimes try to pass off repeats as new episodes (I remember being a bit cheesed off at them doing it increasingly when the budget cuts started to pile up!), but having cross-referenced a few old ITV schedules and the BFI's listings, both do indicate that only wholly new episodes of Brilliant Creatures were being shown around that time, with no reruns just prior to them either.
(Plus Stephen Mulhern there in the promo clips shown specifically dates things too, as he hadn't been involved in any of the previous series of it to the best of my knowledge?)
@@TrevorDistance I'm the one who supplied the tape, so it made more sense if the broadcasts were closer together then that, however, offhand I can't remember if I may have perhaps gone back and used the rest of a tape up after I started recording. Sometimes the tapes would just have a single program on it through various dates of broadcasts, while others it can be random stuff. Though it is possible that I may have saw that I have some space left on one tape and decided to use it about a month or two later from when I first started to use it. In that case Trevor, fair enough and well played. :)
A couple of other points for consideration:
- That McDonald's ad appears at both 2:30 and 31:24.
- When was Digimon: The Movie released? 33:59
Just to confirm that these clips are all from the same tape, in the order they appeared.
@@VideotapeFTW That's easy. The McDonald's ad you're talking about was a generic one, not a limited happy meal ad. Those Ronald McDonald ads actually played quite often throughout 2001 as I recall. Theatrically Digimon: The Movie came out in late 2000, so the DVD release was four to six months later, I recall it being available since around April/May I believe, but they still would be advertising it one or two months after its initial release. As I said I could have used this video to record stuff at any time, perhaps finding out that there was tape left over that I hadn't recorded on yet. I think that did happen a couple of times.
Do you have any CITV stuff from 1995 to upload please
I don't think I do at the moment, I'm afraid. Is there anything in particular you're looking for?
Nothing specific anything from 1995 would be great to see
12:15 Lady and The Tramp 2 at Happy Meals UK
Do you have any CITV recordings from December 2001 so mainly the ones which were shown around Christmas for example the one from Friday 21st December so the last pre-school afternoon of shows for that year?
Not sure about that as I'm still going through these tapes, but it's not impossible. Obviously, whatever I find, I'll upload. :-)
Oh thanks I absolutely love CITV
McDonald’s UK featured 8 characters from Lady and the Tramp 2:Scamp’s Adventure
Do you recall having CITV Telly Tots from October, November and December 2001 please
I'm not certain, but it's possible. Hopefully I'll find something and I'll upload it.
I think what was on it was Hilltop Hospital/Angelina Ballerina thats all I can remember
wasn't it cool that Pokemon ended with Ash becoming a world champion Pokemon trainer. plus i meant the voice of bulbasaur at an anime con.
Do you have any more CITV Telly Tots or other pre-school stuff to upload please
Maybe a little bit, but not as much as in this upload. I'll have to double check.
23:42 Love N Care Shelly
31:03 Rain Or Sun Barbie
Sounds like steven ride at start talking.
I believe it is actually him who used to do most of the TellyTots voices.
@@VideotapeFTW He was Roger the Plane for sure.
do you know who the voice over is who does the citv trailors as I hear him now on ledgend tv.@@VideotapeFTW
