The Northern Ireland TV Thread

Good grief. I thought someone had selected the wrong source for the OOV! To then find out this is some sort of "house style" is bizarre...

UTV have a house style?!?

Thanks for letting me know...

Is the One Life programme to be shown on BBC 1 about Kara Gunn the same one that spotlight did last year.

OK, no changes to UTV Live last night, so much for me setting the video expecting a blinding new look... sorry for misleading anyone or whetting their appetite with false hopes

Probably no point in asking why UTV used their CSO set all over the holiday weekend then...

The daytime bulletins are back in the main UTV Live studio today, so is the on screen DOG.

The UTV Live logo I mean of course.

I'm not sure, aren't the One Life documentaries an hour long while the Spotlight documentaries on Cara lasted half an hour each?

They might use scenes from both documentaries as part of the ONE LIFE film, or combine both of them into one and take out the Spotlight reporter/voiceover and redub it with an English accent.

Whatever the BBC do, it will give national viewers a chance to see a moving and emotional story, one that will cause a strong reaction.

Wasnt there more than one spotlight programme on the Gunn family thou, plus theres all the newsline footage of the trail etc

What about tonight's cock-up on BBC TWO (Northern Ireland, NOT NI!) at 7.30 just before 'Hearts & Minds'? Looked like total chaos ....

Well, it's hard to make things run smoothly when the equipment all falls over!

Maybe that's what happens at UTV all the time ....

What exactly happened, Mark, or have you said it all?

Oh I think I've said enough!

Oh, go on, you're dying to tell ....

I knew that it would only be a matter of time before BBC NI equipment starts falling over - after all half the engineers there seem to have been in UTV at some point!
