The Saturday Show (BBC TV Series) - The All New Saturday Show & TOTP Saturday

The All New Saturday Show & TOTP Saturday

This was how it was branded for a short while from September 2002. Throughout the morning, the presenters would start off acting childish eventually becoming more aimed at teens. With the new show, the TOTP spin off series TOTP Saturday was born. The original concept was a 45 minute version of The Friday night show with the number one single played half way through with the words. Also a new feature called Singles Out dominated part of the show and became part of the format for the 2003 series. But in May 2003, the show began Celebrity Fastermind which began to dominate the first hour of the show. Since then, the show began to drop its opening titles and got stuck in a format of games, gunge and celebrities. Finally in September 2003, Dick and Dom in da Bungalow was to premier on BBC1. Overall, the new show was a ratings hit taking over SMTV Live for many weeks. Extra was moved to 12pm on the CBBC Channel and was dropped. Then it lived up to its name of "Extra" instead of simulcasting.

Famous quotes containing the words saturday and/or show:

    The return of the asymmetrical Saturday was one of those small events that were interior, local, almost civic and which, in tranquil lives and closed societies, create a sort of national bond and become the favorite theme of conversation, of jokes and of stories exaggerated with pleasure: it would have been a ready- made seed for a legendary cycle, had any of us leanings toward the epic.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    It’s the movies that have really been running things in America ever since they were invented. They show you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, how to feel about it, and how to look how you feel about it. Everybody has their own America, and then they have the pieces of a fantasy America that they think is out there but they can’t see.
    Andy Warhol (1928–1987)
