We've just receieved details of GMTV's plans for Up on Roof- including a special and Advance Generation on GMTV news!

This news item is more than 45 days old. Updates are unlikely and newer information may already be available.

Big news for GMTV viewers- "Up on the Roof", the kids strand of programmes that are shown on Sunday mornings will now also be on a Saturday, presumably before SM:TV Live. Why is this relevant to Pokémon fans? There could be more Pokémon involved!

Also, on the day when most live television programmes will at one point say, "May the 4th be with you" (May 4th), GMTV will be showing a special Up on the Roof, to celebrate the bank holiday. The Pokémon episode will be one from Master Quest.

Perhaps most excitingly, the head of childrens scheduling at GMTV, Brian Hughes, has confirmed that series 6, called "Advance Generation" in Japan, is coming to GMTV. You might have to wait a while though, details regarding scheduling won't be available until the Autumn.

A big thank you to Jamie Rickiers and Brian Hughes for taking the time to reply to me!
