Movies, Games and Videos

Movies, Games and Videos (originally called Movies, Movies, Movies) was a television programme shown on ITV in the United Kingdom on Saturdays during the 1990s and early 2000s, usually at 12.30pm directly after The Chart Show. The show reviewed new releases of movies, games, and videos, and was originally voiced by Steve Priestley in an offscreen role. It was produced by production company Capricorn Programmes for London Weekend Television (later Yorkshire Television and also HTV) who syndicated the programme to a variety of countries. Local broadcasters were sent scripts and given the option to re-voice programme content if required.

Though initially successful, the show was gradually dropped by most regions and by Spring 1998, only HTV, Grampian Television, Scottish Television, UTV and WestCountry were broadcasting the series until August 2001. From this point onwards it was only screened in Northern Ireland by the local contractor UTV for another two years until the series was finally dropped in December 2003.

It also included reviews of new game systems, video game creators and conventions/shows.^[2][3][4]

A short-lived spin-off magazine was also produced.
