Background

Watch It! was launched by ITV on 29 December 1980. Although the block was produced by ATV, it was presented live by the duty continuity announcer in each ITV region. The programmes broadcast on weekdays between 4:15pm to 5:15pm. Shortly after the start of new franchises in 1982, some ITV stations had concerns that Watch It! had not gone far enough to address previous concerns. This lead to the conception of Children's ITV/CITV. Watch It! was replaced by CITV on 3 January 1983.

Visuals: On a black background, we see a white outline, and inside, a yellow lightning bolt behind the red text. That text shows "WATCH" and on the bottom ahs "IT!" The text is inside the broken red circle outline. The logo blinks 5 times, switching the "!" with the "V," colored in maroon text instead of red, which is like the name that owned the company. After that, it kept "IT!" like that for a few more longer.

Technique: Traditional cel animation.

Audio: None.
