About the Show
TMi first started on September 16, 2006. It was a Saturday morning show that took over from another popular show, Dick & Dom in da Bungalow. The main presenters were Sam Nixon and Mark Rhodes, who are also known as Sam & Mark. Caroline Flack also joined them for the first few series.
The show was packed with lots of cool stuff like:
- Cartoons
- Exciting competitions
- Fun games
- Music videos
- Special celebrity guests
Series 1: Living the TMi Life
The very first series of TMi had a unique theme. Sam and Mark actually lived in a special "TMi flat" during the week! They would practice and get ready for their weekly challenges that they would do live on the show. This was a new idea for a kids' Saturday morning show.
Series 2: Making Friends and Gunge!
In 2007, the "TMi flat" was gone. Instead, the show had a new theme. Sam, Mark, and Caroline wanted viewers to become their "friends" on the show's website. Each week, they would take part in different challenges. Many of these challenges involved getting covered in gunge, which was always a big hit with viewers!
This series also saw some changes. The show moved from MTV in Leicester Square to BBC Television Centre. The show's length was also shortened from 165 minutes to 90 minutes.
Changes and the Final Show
After the third series, Caroline Flack left the show. Sam and Mark announced her departure at the start of the fourth series in 2009. This fourth series was the last one to air on Saturday mornings.
In 2010, the show came back with a new name: Sam & Mark's TMi Friday. It also moved to a new time slot, airing on Friday evenings on the CBBC Channel. The very last episode of the show was broadcast on December 17, 2010.
