CITV continuity clips, promos and ads (Feb/March 2002)

Описание: Some TellyTots and CITV links, mostly around Kipper and Little Ghosts, presented by David Leon, Leigh Morrison, Leah Charles, and Stephen Mulhern. Recorded across multiple days in 2002, with one in the middle mentioned as being St David's Day, so presumably these come from both February and March of that year.

Includes promos and trails for the likes of Cardcaptors, Digimon, How 2, Sir Gadabout, My Parents Are Aliens, and more. I like how they vary the continuity, throwing in little skits here and there, holding up viewers' masterpieces, reading out messages they've received, and even a single FX shot that has one of them leaping around the screen. Note that you can get in touch by post, e-mail, phone, and now text - they've added a scrolling ticker at the bottom for such eventualities. Not sure what those 'Part of CITV' ident things are all about, but I don't disapprove.

As for the ad breaks, the big films being promoted are Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, Atlantis on DVD, and Monsters Inc. The last of those has a couple of tie-ins, one of which being with McDonald's, who also seem to attempt to capitalise on the impending Mother's Day. Another ad is for the card game Uno, which, unless I'm completely mistaken, has never truly caught on here in the UK the same way as in the US. Am I wrong? I'll tell you what is wrong, though: that Walkers ad with Gary Lineker and David Seaman. Once seen, cannot be unseen.

Many thanks to ‪@David315842‬ for sending me this tape.
