Yes; Top of the Pops American chart rundown was first; then Entertainment USA (we had a whole day use of the crew/team for filming a short segment for TOTP so I suggested making a pilot for Ent USA during the rest of one day); we hit 9.8 million viewers so I launched No Limits which started at 200,000 viewers and rose every week to 5.8 million. So Janet cancelled it. Both Jenny and Tony (now a chief prisons officer) were character witnesses at my trial.

Guess what, you are factually and actually fully correct. Ent USA was what i wad thinking of.....no limits was after it wasn't it? They didn't run concurrently, unless i have that wrong too. Either way, enjoyed them both.....Tony Baker, that's wright.....Mr King, help us out a bit!

No limits was nothing to do with the USA, I think you are thinking of Entertainment USA. No Limits was a programme based in the UK with Jenny Powell and some chap called Tony Baker who hasn't done anything on tv since. It involved visiting different towns and cities each week, showing the local tourist attractions and playing the latest pop videos (usually some crap like Heart or Reo Speed Wagon).

She was only responsible for cancelling No Limits!
