Hi.
Exactly when did he finish, as his MTV show is still running, and word
is that the BBC ARE going ahead with'Don't Forget....' with him as the
host.
Weird that this conflicts with your messages so much...try the repeat
of the show on MTV this Sunday at 9pm and the main on Thursday at
9pm.

Be interesting t see what happens, huh?

Last night. It was 'finish' as in 'no more'.

>as his MTV show is still running,

No it's not. There's a repeat of yesterdays last ever show this
Sunday and a compilation of X-Ray Vision on next Thu/Sun. That's it.
It got to the 9th show out of the planned 14 for this first series.

I believe this to be the case to (c.f. Evening Standard this week)

Like I said...

Yes.

Yup. One of the best.

Or has he dumped them?

No.

Ray (and Julia Carling) were indeed down to present it - posts to
this group suggest this will not now happen.

>3. Phillipa Forrester on Tomorrow's World? Wow!

Since December the 1st! (Where *have* you all been? :-)

Hiya. I haven't been awake for much of the weekend (my brain's melted
due to the revision) - so I was wondering if someone could update me:

1. Is it true MTV have dumped X-Ray Vision? (Never watched it mind
you, but Ray is a star.) Have MTV dumped him or will they bring back
Most Wanted?

2. I read somewhere that the BBC decided not to continue with Don't


Forget Your Toothbrush after Chris Evans said something on his
breakfast show. I did hear a rumour that Ray Coakes was going to
present it - so what's going on?

3. Phillipa Forrester on Tomorrow's World? Wow!

4. Old TV Logos - are these on a web page somewhere? I agree with
Gillian - the Yorkshire TV ones scared me senseless when I was younger
- I used to think some massive great yellow thing would come and
attack me with a load of trumpets - but I did like watching it (I was
strange, I know ...)

Cheers, Simon

Yes. Be afraid. Be very afraid. The Yorkshire logo is on the web.
I've scribbled one and bunged it on a page. Gillian has done the same.
(Therapy perhaps?) And now you can relive the full horror of a true
video capture of the dreaded lergy.. I mean logo. By pointing your
cross... er I mean web browser at
