ah, I've missed the 1996 episodes, I only started watching the repeats a few weeks ago.
If they could show the 1993-95 episodes, they could eventually show the programme in some sort of date order by showing a programme from this particular week in the past. They'd have enough years to be able to do this if they had the full 1991- Aug 1998 run. |

I was pretty bored by today's episode, didn't know or like most of the songs. I'm also waiting for 93-95 !!

Oh, the irony Plenty of examples of that in the repeats though. In last week's, they said they had a hat on standby ready to be eaten if Stop by the Spice Girls didn't make number one- I hope it tasted nice.Quote:
I hate announcers who talk over end credits of anything. They should all be shot at dawn...but then again, why wait till dawn?
At least back then it was just announcers over credits, now there's annoying graphics popping up all over your programmes as well

The thing about the announcer talking over the last episode- I presume that was only in his region, both copies of the last episode I have (all but the last 5 minutes of the one I taped accidently got wiped, someone else sent me a copy)- one from Yorkshire, one from Central- have no announcer over the end.

I liked CD:UK in its final incarnation - I was bored stiff of Cat. I don't blame them for axing Chart Show either really. It hadn't become irrelevant in 1998... but I don't think it would be worth bringing back to terrestrial now. I probably wouldn't watch it myself - at least not without flicking through the other music channels every time a song that I didn't like came on. There's no need for a show like it now. TOTP however...

I think that was one of the main reasons behind the axing. More people were getting satellite & cable, digital (and even more channels) was just around the corner, they obviously decided a performance based show was needed to get viewers as people would be getting videos from music channels (though music videos are much more visually impressive than the current here-today-gone-tomorrow band on a stange miming to their latest dirge). Still, it would be dirt cheap to make, and that's the sort of thing ITV & co seem to be looking for these days.

I must get the videos / recorder down one day anyway, I've several tapes of various programmes, both music and non-music, I want to copy to DVD... no more Chart Shows though unfortunately. From 1996 onwards I used to occasionally do overtime on a Saturday and used to record the programme if I remembered to set the video but never saved any except for that last episode. I do have a few tapes of Sky's Hit Mix from 2001 which ran overnight after Sky One closed and was pretty much a Chart Show clone in that it was announcer free and had various charts, played some songs in full, fast forwarded through others etc. I can't remember if it had graphics like the Chart Show though (ie snippets of info for each song played) - I'm almost sure it didn't. It's years since I last watched a tape of it, and that had Geri Halliwell's horrendous "It's Raining Men" at #1

Just noticed today's episode's on again. Looks like midnight Sunday is a new repeat slot. They must be proving popular for them to be sticking another repeat showing in the schedule.

Was I the only one who didn't like this show? They'd always go right past my favourite songs, and play some random one

they arent popular at all,have been chatting with Matt from The Vault this past week and the reason they are not showing 1993-1995 episodes is because they need converting from d2 tapes as they dont have the machine that plays these anymore,Matt has had a price for getting all the shows converted including the 1986-1991 shows and he is willing to do this and also show more shows per week if the viewers are there,which they arent at the minute sadly
he even sayed that the programme shown before the chart shows came on was getting more viewers,think this was just new music videos so we really need to spread the word and get more viewers otherwise we could lose the chart show altogether we spoke about different viewing times and i recommened later at nights at the weekend for the pub crowd etc so i think this is a trial with the repeat Last edited by Gaz.Baz : 18-02-2007 at 12:51. |

Yeah I think the times (Thursday @ 5 and Saturday @ 11) aren't great as most people will either be at work or out with the family. They should take a leaf out of Nick Jr's book and show them around 9pm at night so that us oldies can watch once the kiddies are asleep.

I think I have some on tape but judging on the amount of tapes I have and how I don't index them or put stickers on the cassettes, I don't think I find it quick!
I'm guessing, but I assume Long Play was a play on the fact that the show ran (for some of the time at least) for 6 hours, and with an E-180 VHS tape, recording in long play would give you 6 hours worth of recording time! I think the programme came to a halt around the time of the World Cup in Japan / S. Korea in 2002, Sky One began showing overnight programming, presumably for those people who were sitting up to watch the football, to give them something to watch. It certainly never reappeared not too long after that. |

One thing about the 1993-95 eps is that, as far as I'm aware, D2 is still in use, to a limited extent, in the TV industry, so transferring them would surely be cheaper than the older 1" tapes. Last edited by James2001 : 18-02-2007 at 14:13. |

I only found out about the shows about a month ago, there could be many others out there who would be interested but don't visit internet message boards and don't know that the reruns are being shown. |

Plenty of examples of that in the repeats though. In last week's, they said they had a hat on standby ready to be eaten if Stop by the Spice Girls didn't make number one- I hope it tasted nice.
