Very generous playout, I must say, of the original 'Mirror' (and almost all of it pre-anno) before Newsnight - a rare moment of Network happily letting it just run as-is for the bulk of duration.

Somebody talking in the BBC One strand mentioned Heroes is back on Thurs 24th April...so have Thursdays stopped being funny on BBC Two now then?

Also I'm sure I heard Russell Howard mention on his 6Music radio show at the tail end of last year that Mock The Week was back in March... So what's happened? Confused

They were ever "funny"? Seriously, the crap they've piled into that strand - not quite everything, but the dross has certainly outweighed the gold by some way.

And there was me thinking that Heroes was less than 24 hours long and wouldn't fill up the whole of Thursday's schedule.

I'm sure for not being precise enough for you - it's meant to be on at 9pm

Lol - OK i have to agree with you there. Mitchell and Webb and Vivian Vyle were sometimes funny. The rest...well the rest took up some time. And as a Scot I'm embarrassed by the last Gregor Fisher effort.

An odd shaped 2 has appeared on the Heroes site.

Looks like they've taken the old template and added a nasty beak to it. God only knows why they've done that, surely the new template can't be that difficult to track down.

It does; although as a result, it does look better than what is actually being used now - if the Feb 07 rebrand had used that shape, I would have been more forgiving! Certainly looks more faithful to the original than the current, and I can't say I'm against any reversions, however small...

Well, considering it's on the BBC2 website - http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctwo/idents - in high-res PDF, PNG, JPEG and another format ("AI")...

Adobe Illustrator, meaning they've got a vector copy they can scale to be as large as they want.
