@MrGriser I don't think so, no. Sorry! I do have some Scratchy and Co clips that I'm working on at the moment, though - they'll be up in the coming weeks.
Mark was indeed a fantastic presenter AND Phenomenal artist. I was too young to realise it back then, but does anyone find it ironic that around this time, both Smart and Art Attack were effectively competing for best kids art show?
@@VideotapeFTW Sorry for pestering you, but how much are you online? Bet you saw my comment, about Challenge showing this (although it would have to be the series 2 episodes, from 1997, for viewers to be able to see the ‘Pair Tree’ game) [not only does Awesome Trixie only have four episode clips of said game, but the quality of their uploads isn’t even good - another reason Challenge should show this].
@@michaelweech6432 Sorry, but my channel gets dozens of comments every day, lots of them inexplicably disappear (thanks, RUclips), and I don't always get notifications for those that stay up (double-thanks, RUclips). Please don't take it personally if I miss anything. I'd love it if Challenge repeated Name That Toon! It was a great idea when they showed Fun House, Knightmare, and Finders Keepers, but sadly those didn't go down too well with the average viewer. Another stumbling block could be licensing issues with the cartoon and film clips. It would be great if it could happen, though!
I actually didn't think this existed haha I loved the song at the beginning 😂 But I should mention in my country turkey is not the main food of Christmas... It's ... HAM!
It's a really good, fun show, isn't it? And you're right: if there's one thing that can be said for the out-of-vision era of CITV, it's that they really upped their game when it came to idents and promos. :-)
Now I never imagined one of these episodes surviving, but I'm glad it did as it shows off something which I was surprised only lasted for a small while, probably due to copyrights over the clips, I suppose? But yeah I'm glad to see this again, I fully understand about the Cinderella thing (since a song was used in the clip), I'm sorry that my 12 year old self didn't like the music choice for that Galaxy ad recycled from 1995 and as I said once before I wasn't into dramas so much, so no Out of Sight I'm afraid. However I do recall another episode(s) of this show (I don't know if any others survived) but they featured actual anime clips which I thought was pretty gutsy, especially since one of them gained a 15 certificate; Vampire Princess Myu. The clip wasn't overly violent or anything, but still it was odd seeing that on the show, as well as a clip for the anime OVA; Giant Robo, which I think also gained a more mature rating, probably 12 or 15 I'm not sure. But there was a round in the same epsiode(s) where the contestants faced a CGI tree with doors that opened up and they have to spot two of the same image or name the toon hidden in the door or something like that. And of course, it was very sad of what ultimately happened with Mark, he was indeed so full of energy.
You're right - it must have been a licensing nightmare. It was a really fun show, though, and I'm surprised it didn't go on to become a long-running favourite. You'll be pleased to know that there's another partial episode at the end of the same tape, so I'll be uploading that soon-ish.
@@VideotapeFTW Oh that could be the one with the tree I mentioned and perhaps one of the anime showcased there as well, I guess we'll see soon. I noticed that some clips were either public domain or from videos that were available at the time (giving that the Street Sharks clip came from BMG Video, which did release a few volumes of that show back in 1996). Probably they also had to only use shows currently airing on TV too I guess? I'll admit I'm hoping that on one of the tapes I sent you last was some footage from Disney's Wake Up In The Wild Room, the reason being is that my next door neighbour was on that show and I recorded some of it.
There was also a Vietnamese version in around 2007 - incidentally, they went with the original English title instead of translating to their native language.
@@alicebooker6679 The second half of this video, from December 1996: ruclips.net/video/_Pb_NrWpWU4/видео.html It's not much, but I hope against the odds it's your episode. P.S. Was it a fun day out being on the show? It looks a great laugh!
That’s in series 2 (in 1997), but yes I wish the entire of that series was uploaded here (and in better quality than Awesome Trixie’s only two uploads of it).
Yet another of those UK gameshows that Challenge should (pun unintended) show (although, as I’m aware, as long as there’s enough fan demand for them); they (Challenge) should definitely show series 2 of this (from 1997 - aired from the 2nd of September to the 7th of October) [where the show now aired on Tuesdays, as well as was the show’s only additional series], featuring the ‘Pair Tree’ game (I remember said game used to scare me) [Challenge could possibly show this on condition that they edit out things like the competitions for the viewers at the end of the episodes, given that anything shown on Challenge is merely repeats].
Did you know that the guy who play Gomez on the Live Show The Addams Family is the Father of Sean Astin of the Goonies, Rudy and Sam from the Lord of the Rings
I had completely forgotten that this show existed! Even now, the only parts I distinctly remember are the doors with Betty Boop and Popeye in the intro, the animal silhouette audience overlay, and the drawing round. When it comes to the actual quiz or even the set design, I honestly don't remember it at all.
@@VideotapeFTW *Had* it (hypothetically) run longer, don’t know if they’d have retained the ‘Pair Tree’ game (unless they’d have ditched it because, as I say, said game used to scare me).
@@michaelweech6432 Yeah, I'm sure they'd have kept coming up with new rounds if they'd got another series or more, as long as the main concept stayed the same.
@@michaelweech6432 Well, I suppose we'll never know. All I'm saying is that I think they'd have kept refreshing the show with new ideas the longer it had gone on - if it had gone on for longer.
Didn't the show have an end game where the winners Jump Down In A Forest Canyon where A PEAR TREE hides loads of different Cartoon Character & they had to Pair The Pears to win prizes?
@@wendyharvey8360 OK. We were under the impression this show only lasted for one series in 1996/97. But there could have been a second series in 97 now that you mentioned it.
@@David315842 Yeah in Series 2 the winning team in each game would Jump Down Into The Forest Of Gump To Confront THE TREE OF FORTOON, On The Tree are 12 Pears which have Cartoon Characters behind them, The Captain would need to MATCH ALL 6 PAIRS Within 45 Seconds To Win The Grand Prize of Seeing The Spice Girls in Istanbul
RIP Mark Speight. He was such a good presenter
He gives this such an energy, doesn't he? I'd be exhausted if I tried to keep that up for two minutes, never mind a whole show!
@@VideotapeFTW yeah that’s true lol 😂
@@VideotapeFTW Do you have any episodes of Insides Out? That was also hosted by Mark Speight.

What date did CITV stop airing Name That Toon
@@jamesdaly611 The last episode aired October 7 1997.
Ah Mark Speight. Brilliant talent
RIP Mark Speight
If I had one wish, it would be for itv to bring this show back, but would have to be for adults because kids don't care about animation these days!
I'd watch it!
Mark Speight is one funny man
I was in the audience for one episode of this... Just come across this footage now so time to see if it's this one
Sounds like a fun day out! If not this video, try this other shorter clip on my channel: ruclips.net/video/_Pb_NrWpWU4/видео.html

YES Finally!
Do you have any more episodes? or anything with Mark Speight in?
Absolutely adored Mark growing up, still do. RIP Legend ❤
I've got another clip of an episode of Name That Toon (about seven minutes' worth) to come soon, so stay tuned.

Might as well have just credited him as Scratchy. Except Mentorn presumably owned the name.
I do wonder whether the original pitch might have been basically a spin-off, but someone that mattered decided not.
@@VideotapeFTW Maybe if Granada had bought Central instead of Carlton.

Actually, series 2 aired from 19 august 1997. I know because I saw it that day and had clips from lady and the tramp and the sooty cartoon!
I thought it aired from 2 September because there only were 6 episodes of series 2, and said series definitely ended 7 October.
Do you remember that CITV game show that Mark Speight hosted called Beat the Cyborgs and do you have any full episodes of it?
I'm afraid I don't have any, but if I ever find some on an old tape, I'll definitely upload them.
