He's obviously got a thing for retro ITV - he was sporting a *beautiful* Tyne Tees Colour shirt (based on the 1979 ident) at the Vic & Bob live gig in Newcastle in February.
Vic Reeves is wearing a Yorkshire Television T-Shirt on tonight’s Celebrity Gogglebox.
Nice to see the chevron back on Channel 4!

And now he’s been discussing ITV regions with Jools.
Tyne Tees, Central, LWT, Thames & Meridian all got a mention. He mentioned he has a T-shirt for most regions that he visits.
And they discussed how Tyne Tees’s original name was going to be Tyne Wear And Tees Television but they didn’t go with it for the obvious reason.

On which note, this made me smile earlier.
Me still saying 4OD instead of All4 is my generation’s version of saying GMTV instead of GMB.

They’ve had the content forever, but the standalone app is new.
Virgin a bit late with All4 aren't they?

I wonder if they'll keep content via the old system as well? ITV Hub content is still available though their own system (albeit only in SD, and quite low bitrate SD at that) even though they've had the app for 18-odd months. Whereas BBC content has only been available though the iPlayer interface for years.

They only had some of the content before - catch up and a limited selection of box sets.
The catch up for ITV was upgraded to HD a while ago.
