Brilliant memories here! I especially love how they used a very topical "Tribal Dance" from 2 Unlimited as their backing music in the last continuity sequence!
If I recall correctly, during the closing credits of some episodes of Woof! Announcer Steve Ryde would warn younger viewers not to copy anything these saw in those episodes.
Bad Influence, Knightmare, Wolf It, Real Ghostbusters... Man, I loved all them shows, would get home from Primary school, watch them, play me some Sonic 2... Good times. Thanks for the total nostalgia trip! Crazy that you have had these laying around on VHS so long!
I used to watch most of these CITV programmes including the animated version of 'The Legends Of Treasure Island'. I wonder if comedienne Dawn French provided the voice of Jim Hawkins, the hero of the story.
This is from Wednesday November 10th, 1993 - the description of both the Woof episodes and "tomorrow"s Bad Influence episode confirm it. Great clip, never seen that Knightmare trailer before :D
CITV was the business back then and catered to pretty much everybody, just not 9 and under these days. It's funny how ITV was a thing most parents didn't want their kids to watch at that time. The majority of their shows were a lot more "Fun" than some of the ones on CBBC at that time. Even though we had less channels then (You were super luck to have Sky/Cable then), It seems like the choice was better!
Though as a fan of animation, I'm never particularly keen on filling up the main cast with celebs- which seems to be a trend now. That and the obsession with CGI over hand drawn animation is one reason why I don't care for many modern cartoons. I have half an idea for a cartoon myself, though I wouldn't care for celebrities playing the main roles (though I have come up with characters for Trevor & Simon, not that they really class as star names).
I sometimes get suprised at the casts they do sometimes get for these cartoons. The Foxbusters- which I've uploaded a few episodes of- has Whoopi Goldberg on the cast, which I find quite suprising- to see a Hollywood celeb on a silly British cartoon series.
Rex was the second boy/dog. I have the first few minutes of an episode from 1991 on tape, but I've forgotten what the boy's name is, I'll have to di it out.
This is really good quality, & in stereo, too! 😃
2:45 Knightmare was a awesome show. I watch it on and off on RUclips.

Did you tape any of those shows by chance? Reason I ask is because I'm looking for Season 2 and 4 of Wolf it but I can't find it anywhere.

Knightmare, Woof!, Harry's Mad, Fantomcat, Legend of Treasure Island! All the best shows from my childhood and still hoping to make it to DVD one day!

Steve Ryde also played Gordon Flycamp who was on the set of Whats up Doc here!
Well, you can see him because he's in both the Bad Influence and What's Up Doc trailers.
This was one day before The Riddlers The Rocket episode was originally shown as that was broadcast on Thursday 11th November 1993
Wow I've never seen this Knightmare advert before lolz at Lord Fear though "Come back Friday, in the mean time BEAT IT" XDDDDDDD

Which Porky pig cartoons do you have?
I mean at the end when they're doing the last continuity sequence, starting at around 5:58.

That would be Eric in the original.
Never seen that cat ident before.
If this is live recorded continuity in 2012
