Gee - that would be great if i weren't planning to sleep through most of the early morning showings.

BlueFrackle

That's great news.


>>ITV - 10:55am Muppet Christmas Carol<<
This will probably will be cut with "When Love Is Gone" taken off and it could be shown all most in widescreen

>>BBC1 - 1:45pm Muppet Treasure Island <<
Very possibly it will be uncut version with bad language

>>Channel4 - 8:15am Muppets Take Manhattan <<
This will be in widescreen for sure . The last time this movie was shown on C4 New Years Day 2000 at 9.am

Later

Danny,

What bad language in Muppet Treasure Island ?

Great news about Muppets Take Manhattan !

And i cant believe we get to see Its a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie three times !

Although byChristmas eve, I think id have watched it atleast 40 times


See ya

After "Something Better" song Billy Bones say's "How does does she blo*dly do that?" rather than "...... blomming do that?", and later the Muppet pirates in Billy's room: "Billy is Dead!, and he hasn't got the blo*dly map" instead of "....... blomming map". And much later in the film where Long John almost cutting the rope to plunge Kermit into his death, he asks Piggy "Where is the blo*dy treasure?" instead of "....... blasting treasure?". And that's all the bad language is featured.

For some reason BBFC didn't edited out the bad language in the orignal thearical (spelling?) release, but did edited out on video in the UK. The uncut version is available in the US.

But let's hope the BBC show's the uncut version

See ya

MuppetDanny

Bloody is considered bad language in the UK? Kind of strange to me. In the US that's more like a darn or shucks.

Guys,

There is also a comercial for Its a Very Merry Muppet Chritmstmas Movie and two Mcdonalds commercials starring Kermit airing on TV right now !

Oh and in The People TV Gudie there is a picture of Kermit advertising the new movie, Its great !

See ya

and there's also a few more showing of the new movie that haven't been mentioned - they are on Sky Premier 2,3 etc a few days after the first showings.

very merry in uk!

i was hoping , a very merry muppet christmas would air on hallmark uk.Although i may end up forking out for sky premier.i have been forced to buy food from evil mcd's, due to their wonderful array of muppet happy meal toy's.anyway have a good one all of you.

Paul,

Welcome to Muppet Central !

The Brits keep on coming, Hopefully we can take over the Yanks soon !




I also had to buy Sky Premiere just because of this !

But i plan on watching Elmo In Grouchland and Return To Oz on it !

Brian Henson is the voice of Jack Pumpkin Head inReturn to Oz.


But just so you guys know, I have both on DVD and Video.

See ya

Guys,

I was just watching a movie on Sky Premiere and noticed that Elmo In Grouchland was coming on next so i thought i'll leave it on the same channel.

In the Commercials inbetween movies i heard 'Coming to Sundays Family Movcie Premiere' so i pressed Record on the VCR and it was the Commercial for Its A Verry Merry Muppet Christmas Movie !


And WOW !

It looks great, I wont give anything away because i know no one in the UK has seen it yet !

But im sure we will all love it !

Oh, and Elmo In Grouchland is on now !


See ya

I hope you really enjoy it BlueFrackle! We all know your one of the most itchy's to see it! It will be nice to see it with out any breaks, but at least we got some Muppet Mastercard ad's in the US.


can't wait to hear what you think!

Zack)Rowlf the, Dog.

You guys didn't answer Frogboy's question. I wouldn't mind, but I'm jjust itchin' to know!

Is Bloody a swear word in the UK?

Guys,

Its not.


See ya

Yes it bl**dy is.

The Vicar of Dibley had a classic scene concerning this question (is bl**dy a swear word). It cost Owen a £1 a time. Very mild swear word though.

Strange that the use of this word should be an issue for a film that features skeletons hung from trees, talking skulls, torture and murder. My 3 year old loves the Muppets but he ain't going to be seeing Treasure Island for a few years yet.

Yes, I know all the above were needed to be true to the book and I am not arguing with their inclusion in the film. Just think that a small child is more likely to be disturbed by someone being hung from a tree until they die and their skeleton is left to mark the way rather than the word bl**dy.

Oh! I think I saw that Vicar of Dibley episode (We get them on PBS. Apparently, because it's from the UK someone thought it was educational.. but whoever it was, my hats off to them! Love that British sicom humor!)

Basically, it's funny, cuz I remember the B word used on several cartoon shows made for kids, especially on Carmen Sandiago (In some episode they went through time, screwed up the revolutionary war, and the Cheif said that he had a "Bl**dy English accent." Sometimes I've noticed they used "ruddy" instead. Don't have any idea what a rud is...

whatever

when will a very merry muppet xmas be showing on other channels exept the sky movie channels?

Beemer,

I dont think it will be airing on any other channels other than Sky Premiere this year !

Maybe next year ?


See ya

I only just found out that on saturday 28th december on uk horizons that 'i love 1976' with kermit will be on, i think its on at 7.00pm.
