Question for fans of 00s CITV: do you have any recordings of Toby Hull's Emu reboot series? Here are all the episodes that have come to light so far: kzbin.info/aero/PLvauPqoA1lqUAenDbzhWFp7VfiKY8ao8I But I think ten are still missing. More info: lostmediaarchive.fandom.com/wiki/Emu_(Partially_Found_2007_Reboot_Series) Please ask around, and if you can help at all, please let me know.

Great to see the UK advert for Pokemon Yellow here, and the original McFlurry line-up which would've been recently launched. They were never the same once they stopped using the mixing machines. And don't often see Sunday morning CITV from this era.

Christmas ads in November, nothing much has changed. Pokemon was still quite popular at the time and I imagine due to the new Thomas film on video, Britt Alcroft insured creators of Thomas merchandise had air time for their products. :D As for Lego, seeing as it's close to Christmas, they wanted to show off their new stuff as soon as possible. I do recall once on GMTV, an entire ad break was dedicated to Lego products, like a mini program in and of itself, I believed it aired during an ad break during when they aired the Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers TV movie; To The Rescue (which was a five part story put together). Though it may have been an episode of Saturday Disney, I can't remember off hand. Though I don't think it was Christmas when that aired, it was around the spring, or in the case of that movie, after Christmas as the Chip n Dale movie aired on New Year's Day 1993. Anyway, enough rambling, thanks again for posting this. :)

I didn't know that about the full Lego ad break - interesting. It's a great idea, in that it's both an advert and a publicity stunt at the same time. I wonder why more companies haven't tried that since (unless they introduced regulations against it). Thanks as always for the tape! :-)

@@VideotapeFTW I think it was a one time thing. They probably then introduced regulations banning companies from dedicating a whole break to themselves, as it would be deemed unfair competition and they wouldn't be wrong on that account. I do recall that Lego Blacktron ad (the one where the Lego spacemen were playing with the toys and one of them got tripped up by an alien), that was one of the ads, along with a Lego Pirates ad and I think there was a few Duplo ads in it as well. As always, you're very welcome. :)

On a bit of a tangent, I remember reading something back then about the unbelievably rare and expensive cameras they needed to use to shoot Lego ads. It's trivial nowadays, but apparently macro lenses or whatever was necessary barely existed at the time and of course the Lego spacemen or whatever are a lot smaller than your average stop motion animation characters. My turn to ramble. ;-)

@@VideotapeFTW Hey may have used some early CGI in that one, otherwise yeah it would have all been done with models which they had to shoot one frame at a time which must have been quite the task to do back then. Very time consuming. Oh they had no problem with one ad where some skeletal Lego dinosaur monster was right in our faces as it intimidated the younger sister of it's creator. But then they just used a regular camera and shot it up close as it went by on it's motor. It's YOUR channel, of course you can ramble. :)
