Posted April 9, 20178 yr It's the stuff of our Saturday morning TV dreams – it looks like SM:TV Live will actually be returning! And it's not even just a 'maybe' anymore either as Ant and Dec and fellow SM:TV host Cat Deeley were all reunited on screen on tonight's (April 8) episode of Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, and they practically confirmed that something will be happening. That's right, the trio have promised they will reunite to celebrate the show's 20th anniversary next year. Yep, 20 years. We officially feel old. For those of you who may be too young to remember the glory days of Saturday morning telly, the trio presented a hilarious show which featured sketches, competitions and celebrity guests a plenty. And a lot of what made the series so great made a welcome return in tonight's final instalment of the 'Missing Crown Jewels' too. There was Wonkey Donkey - which HAD TO RHYME - and is practically the best competition ever to come out of telly. Maybe. Not only that, but definitely the best sketch ever to come out of the show was Chums - a take on Friends - which featured a long-standing love story between Dec and Cat and we loved it. They usually dragged the celebrity guests in to take part in the sketch as well, so it was always good fun - check it out below if you don't believe us: WSz39193RW0 Naturally, viewers of a certain age were delighted at the news: It's not the first time it's been mentioned either, as earlier this year Ant and Dec kickstarted the rumours of an SM:TV return by expressing an interest in bringing it back. "It's funny, we were talking to somebody about this recently, because it's 20 years since the launch of SM:TV Live next year," Ant previously said. "So we were saying if there was appetite that we could do an anniversary special or something, and we kind of got carried away with the idea, didn't we? "If we did just a one-off, and it had to be 9.25am, with Chums and all that, and get Cat back." And seeing as Cat later added her support for the idea too, it looks like an SM:TV reunion is officially happening now. We. Can't. Wait.SM:tv Live (complete with CD:uk ofc!) was literally MY LIFE. OMFG. THIS NEWS HAS ME SO EXCITED FOR THE ONE OFF SPECIAL EDITION! :cry:
April 9, 20178 yr YESSSS!!!! Get the f** in there. Please have Wonky Monkey, Chums. Really looking forward to this.
April 9, 20178 yr omg this was EVERYTHING :wub: though I don't see a mention of Pokemon roleplay though? :'( l08XV0nuhfE
April 9, 20178 yr I was 11/12 when it was first on and absolutely LOVED it. The sketches were brilliant, especially Chums, and I loved that the celebrities took part in it. One of my favourite sketches was 'the beautiful Corrs' but I doubt they are relevant enough now to be brought back to this special one-off edition! YSSmHNbvblM Also loved a lot of the other programmes shown during the show, like Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Irish Popstars, with Linda Martin and Louis Walsh *.* And I wouldn't ever go out to town with my friends until CD:UK had finished, had to see that chart rundown!
April 10, 20178 yr Loved the beautiful Corrs! And Chums. You couldn't do stuff like this these days...
March 20, 20187 yr Delayed until 2019 now due to Ant & Dec's schedules :nocheer: Don’t think it had anything to do with Ant and Dec’s schedule.
September 29, 20204 yr It's a documentary now rather than a special episode of the show, but I can't wait!
September 30, 20204 yr Can't stand Ant & Dec anymore, but loved SMTV so will watch :wub: Also still annoys me how Ant is back to being one of the nations favourite after what he did, anyone else would never have been forgiven so easily.
