Movies, Games and Videos

Movies, Games and Videos was not networked per se (not broadcast in a rigid timeslot on a specific day), but was shown in all regions to begin with. Initially this was on a Saturday lunchtime in a variety of slots - 12:30, 13:45, 15:10 etc. but gradually the scheduling varied wildly depending on each region. Some continued to broadcast it on a Saturday afternoon, whilst others began airing it in a 17:10 weekday slot, after CITV.

Though initially successful, the show was gradually dropped by most regions and by Spring 1998, only Anglia, Central HTV, Grampian Television, Meridian, Scottish Television, UTV and Westcountry were broadcasting the series until August 2001. From this point onwards it was only screened in Northern Ireland by the local contractor UTV for another two years and then continued to air on Ulster until the series was finally dropped in February 2005.[7]
