  In this section you'll find all the continuity links I have from my off air recordings of the series, as well as some other TVS related nostalgia. |

|
"Have Yourself a Wizard Little Christmas" - Christmas Day 1988 Link 1 - This superb hour long special features a different arrangement of the Majeika theme as well as an alternative opening and closing title sequence. The end music is however, simply the standard theme lengthened. |
||
|
Link 2 - A small musical sting accentuates the action
(in this case Father Christmas's sledge crashing into Majeika's windmill)
and signals an advert break.
|
||
|
|

 |
|
"Gonna Wash those Spells Right Outta my Hair" - 1989 The second episode of the second series was preceded by a trailer for the evening's entertainment on TVS, as well as a look ahead to the programmes directly after Mr Majeika. |
|
|
|
|||
|
"Jim Genie" - 1989 Episode 5 of the second season begins with an onscreen continuity card produced especially for the series. |
||
|
|
|||
 | |||
|
"Fangs for the Memory" -1990 Link 1 - Ahh the days when pictures sent in by kids were shown on screen |
||
|
Link 2 - A short link at the end of the show. Notice how varied the TVS end caption card is in the next few clips. In this period the TVS caption was normally a computer animated logo - but in the case of Mr Majeika which was made on film the end caption is a static caption card which has been filmed - you can see this from the tell tale wobble of a film recording. |

|
|
|||
|
"Catch a Falling Ball" - 1990 Link 1 - Mr Majeika followed "Rolf's Cartoon Club" on Wednesday afternoons, and in this link there is a short preview for the new series of "Press Gang" which starred a very young Julia Sawalha. |
||
|
Link 2 - A recurring thread throughout the CITV links sees something go wrong to either the presenters or the equipment used in the TV studio
|
||
|
Link 3 - Mr Majeika comes to an end, and so does CITV for another day.
|
||
|
|
|||
|
"Some Day My Doodles Will Come" - 1990 Link 1 - Another link blaming technical problems on Mr Majeika - but quite what Jan sees on the desk to react like this is a mystery to me!! |
||
|
Link 2 - Another quite bizarre link from just outside the studio this time. Again note how different the TVS caption is compared to "Fangs for the Memory"
|
||
|
|
|||
|
"I've Grown Accustomed to his Face" - 1990 This story featured dopplegangers of each of the main cast members - so in a rather nice link the CITV crew mixed pre-recorded footage of the presenters in with the "live" section - thus making it seem like a double image in the final braodcast. |
||
|
|
|||
 |
Coast to Coast - the TVS regional news programme covered many serious
issues throughout its 11 year run - but it also looked at the lighter
side of life in the south of England - including the filming of the
third season of Mr Majeika.
|
||
|
"Coast to Coast" - Filmed 3rd August 1989 The piece, introduced by Mike Debens was gathered and narrated by Merrill Harries, and features your very own webmaster (I'll give you clue - I'm not either of the older gentlemen!!) |
||
|
|
|||
|
|
"Coast to Coast" - 1992 Only tenuously Majeika related - this interesting news story discusses TVS's loss of its regional broadcasting franchise to Meridian. |
