It's Wednesday - so small present for you all!

I don't normally share works in progress and technically this one is a little bit closer to finished, but thought given my recent absence I should start sharing what I can with you. And I know some of you will be pleased with the hint this will drop (*cough cough, looking at you dear tsari @tsarinatorment*) of what is soon to come!

"It was only after a while sunbathing that he opened his eyes, blinked twice and finally took in the growth of trees opposite the pool. The island was full of trees, yes, an entire jungle worth of assorted sprouts to be more specific, so these shouldn’t be anything worth noting, but there was something… they hadn’t been there when he… left. They seemed now to border and block in the little garden area he’d cut aside for his mother when she’d insisted if they were moving to a tropical island that she still wanted a normal garden. So he and Kyrano had put some paving stones down from the stairway he’d made around the back of the buildings, and maintained a lawn amongst all the fast growing greenery. Kyrano had planted a couple shrubs in the centre and some plants around the edges, but that was the best Jeff knew he could manage to maintain. It wasn’t really a garden as such, but it had worked to keep his mum happy. He’d wondered, maybe once or twice, how the boys would maintain it, considering they seemed to inherit his skill in gardening from what he’d remembered and so the last thing he’d expected to see were trees."

I hope you like it so far! I'll bring the whole thing shortly once I can finish proof reading :)

CITV is dead. Long live CITV.

So, we knew this day was coming but it's finally actually arrived. CITV was the home of many wonderful shows in the 2000s and 2010s. So to see it thrown away in favour of the shite that is "streaming" is disappointing, if expected.

CITV was a channel I came straight home from school after 3:15pm to watch. At 4pm was Horrid Henry. For a whole hour. Sometimes I would catch the 3:30 timeslot airing Emu.

I remember staying at my grandparents aged 5 and watching Kid vs Kat and My Goldfish is Evil. I remember waking up on a weekend to find Toonattik on (I also played the board game of that). I remember Action Stations, Sooty, a sock puppet that made this weird horn noise...

Anyway with the closing down of yet another pinnacle of my childhood, joining Jetix, Disney XD, Playhouse Disney, Disney Channel and Disney Junior (eagle eyed readers would know these channels shared three particular spots), the 2020s are proving my disdain for modern "culture" is warranted personally. I cannot express enough how sad this makes me.

Video on its way to Infinity Games to accompany this:

In the meantime, CBBC stands. But not for much longer. The end of raising kids in a vaguely responsible way is upon us.

Did other countries have kids gameshows where if the children playing lost the game they were said to be eaten, imprisoned, killed or something similar or is that just a British thing?

#CBBC #I was thinking about Trapped again #Iconic show but I don't think other countries tell the children at home that the losers are stuck in a tower because they lost among us #Or like the show about the hyneas they said they ate the kids that lost #I used to wonder if they organised it so theyd miss school for a week to fake them being murdered on a game show #At least on some of the shows a hot Scottish guy encourages you to collect rings #And on jungle run they tried to get the kids out #Trapped! #Citv #Raven #Scratch and Sniff

The fact that these two never had a crossover is absolutely criminal, you know they would have been best friends.

I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone in the thunderfam mention this but, a few days ago TAG's host channel CITV was shut down in favour of the new ITVX streaming platform.

Yeah I'm kinda torn up, CITV was a big part of my childhood and produced a lot of great shows like Horrid Henry, My Parents Are Aliens, Art Attack, Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids and of course Thunderbirds Are Go.

I can't help but feel bitter, especially with the reason behind axeing CITV being that "kids are streaming more and watching TV less." Like no shit Sherlock, that's the only place people can access all the shows that ITV removed from air.

Anyways. RIP CITV, you were an icon to so many British kids over the years.

This famous SM:TV moment (that didn't already seem to be on YouTube...?) might be the only thing worth preserving from all my family's old VHS recordings!
