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.
