TMi is a Saturday morning children's show presented by Sam Nixon, Mark Rhodes (aka Sam and Mark), and Caroline Flack. Recently ending its second series, it aired between 9am and 10.30am on Saturdays on BBC Two. The programme is repeated at 11.25am on the CBBC Channel.
The first series of TMi was shown between 9am and 11.45am on Saturdays on both BBC Two and the CBBC Channel and ran for 25 episodes over 21 weeks (one episode every Saturday with extra episodes on BBC One every weekday morning in Christmas Week, although these were pre-recorded, not live like the Saturday editions) from 16 September 2006 to 3 February 2007. TMi, while comprising many of the features of Saturday morning children's programming such as cartoons, competitions and music, added a new spin to the genre incorporating an element of reality television. During the week between airing the show, Sam Nixon and Mark Rhodes lived in the "TMi Flat" where they were filmed by multiple cameras. Highlights of this footage was shown on the following Saturday's show. The first series was broadcast live from the television studio at 1 Leicester Square, London.
The second series of TMi started on 8th September 2007 on BBC Two and ended on December 22 2007. For the second series, the duration of the show was reduced to 90 minutes, much to the anger of its fanbase. The TMi flat no longer features and the programme is broadcast from studio TC9 at BBC Television Centre (CBBC's old studio). New features include Thumb Wrestling Federation and Hedz. [citation needed] The theme of the second series is 'This Time It's Personal'. Viewers can choose one of the presenters to be their 'friend' by selecting them on the TMi website, and are then able to view exclusive online content relevant to their chosen presenter. The numbers of friends are revealed throughout the show each week, with each presenter shown with a percentage of the total vote. On December 15 Caroline was crowned "Queen of TMi" with 106,000+ friends with, on December 22, Mark being named "the Biggest Loser" with 70,000+ friends. Sam finished the series with 74,000+ friends.
A third series has not been confirmed but it is very likely that a third series will air sometime in 2008 due to the popularity of the first and second series.
Since after the first five episodes of Series 2, there has been a few end of the show forfeits where a presenter is set a task. Like on Saturday 10th November 2007 Caroline being in the lead every week, Sam & Mark decided to get their revenge on her. If Caroline got more friends at the end of the show then she would get gunged, and she did.
Each week one or more celebrity guests feature on the show. Previous guests have included McFly, Girls Aloud, Jesse McCartney, JoJo and Lil Chris. The first celebrity guest of the second series was the winner of Big Brother 8, Brian Belo.
On 18 July 2007 the BBC revealed that TMi was one of the programmes which had deceived viewers with a faked phone-in competition winner on 16 September 2006. [1]
