Someone just sent me this...

Is it real? I haven't seen it in use yet.

Looks real doesn't it? Hmmmm, careful picture examination required here. It's weird because the picture overall is quite distorted, and the figure on the left seems to stand out as if its superimposed. I don't know...

It doesn't look real to me, but it will probably look like this, if those on Channel are anything to go by.

I am CONVINCED that that picture looks VERY FAKE,because there seems to be a jagged white line around the eskimo which looks likes someones gone into Paint Shop Pro,hand cut around another image,stuck it into a current HTV ident and pressed 'Blur' to make it look like it's captured off a television. If that's real,I'll eat my hat!

The picture itself probably is a fake - but I bet anything the concept is correct. It's basically the same as last year's rude robin. So you'll probably be eating your hat!

Yes this could be the case.

I think it's real, the eskimo looks identical to the one I saw on an endboard before. Looked very cheap, by the way, which is a shame because ITV's have always been good recently.

For some reason, the picture's not coming down to me, I'm just getting the dear little red X in a box.

However, there's an easy way to tell if it's real.

If it's rubbish, it's from HTV; if it's half decent, it's probably from some other company.

I very much doubt the HTV Xmas ident this year will look like that. Far more likely the ident will just be like Carlton's one but with an HTV, with no eskimo superimposed, at the end.

I'm also advised that GMG stations will be getting NO christmas idents this year Sad

Which, coupled with the oh, so uninspiring ITV Xmas trailers on offer, means it's a fistful of bah humbugs all round for Granada this Christmas!

Exactly,this person has taken the endboard,cut out the eskimo and stuck it on!

Erm, the endboard I saw certainly wasn't fake.
