Well after a month of charlatans, Derek has finished his *round the world in 28 days* and has decided to go back to his day job, celebrating this with probably the campest tie I've ever seen.


I was waiting for you to post this Smile


Always eager to please.
The tie is *the* event of the day -- none of this new BBC titles boredom, it mustn't be missed later.

And did you break Claire's autocue earlier?
*bear with me* click, click, click..

For reasons like this, I am glad there are no "Monday mornings" in my world!

Barry Welsh doesnt know whether he is coming or going! There is a new series on now called Barry Welsh is GOING - it appears as if its his final few episodes looking back at all the previous series (how ever many there were)

He has had some guests on aswell like Terry Griffiths and Sian Lloyd. I dont ever remember Barry having guests on the show - are they really THAT old?

Also nice to see numerous mentions of HTV throughout the program :-

Also whilst im here time for some news on next weeks regional programs:-

All the regional programs seem to have got a bit shaken up and arent in their usual place!

The Ferret is now on at 22:00 before ITV News on Mondays, Wales this Week at 23:00 on Wednesdays and a new series on Thursdays at 19:30 called Rock Solid! And there is the continuing Barry Welsh on Mondays at 23:00!

I hope Jez caught his favourite male news presenter from HTV News on network ITV1 just then?

It featured Jon Hill on TV's naughtiest blunders - SWEARING!
Maybe he is being primed for network News?

You know, joey, if I didn't know better, I'd *swear* you were someone else. Hmmm.. anyone else smell witchcraft?

Mind you, my Sky thing claims that every weekday at 6 I can watch "ITV1 Wales news and weather". See how the propaganda gets everywhere.

I blame Lulu.

Anyway, I went yesterday to have my tea leaves read [I was going to have my bumps fingered but she said her energies were low or something]. Anyway she said to me that there was a message coming though that young Jez would return to this thread from whence he resigned on the next full moon but one. And that he would bring special news.

I felt we all needed to know.

Nearly everywhere!

Isn't it like the West in that Sky still tell you you're watching it on "ITV1 HTV Wales"?

Who's Derek supporting this evening then? I'm a bit unclear.

Mind you -- at least the BBC aren't mad enough to conduct live interviews with a crowd of rowdy people around putting hats on reporters' heads.

Also. How do the ITV news decide the shortage of NHS dentists is now a newsworthy item after a day or two of queues in Scarborough, but it's been going on in the bad place for months and didn't mention it?

Hmmm.

I met and spoke to Andy Collinson today and have decided he's a nice chap.

I also went to the match at the stadium this evening. Why hasn't Robert Earnshaw been knighted? 4 -0! Poor Scotland. I think everyone keeps being suprised by Wales winning at either Rugby or Football because they think we're s**t. Let them think it I say. It lulls them inot a false sense of security.

Thanks to TV D for your reply mate. Much appreciated.

Yes the now and next / EPG on NTL also states ITV 1 Wales News and Weather at 1pm today! Ive never noticed it before - much better than it stating HTV Wales News as it did for the first week of ITV Wales News!

I wonder where this information is generated?

PS - normal service will be resumed on monday - warn Jez! Wink

Look at BBC Wales Today, it still says 'pictures from HTV Wales' when showing the goals from the welsh nationwide sides.

We get another HTV Wales cock-up, this time being couresty of Dennis Norden. It was basically a HTV News Trailer coming from a field of cows, with Jonathon and Lucy at the camera and a cow goes for Lucy's backside and she almost blames it on Jonathon. Pretty funny.
