I get the pun of 'Party People', but I can't see what's political-sounding about 'Last Orders'? Confused

Didn't it originally come from the Emmerdale Woolpack set, pitched as people talking about politics in the pub?

Back a million years ago when it was a proper weekly YTV production, not just a monthly thing done in London on a generic black set, then yes that is how it started out with that title.

Granada Tonight for the past half hour have done a live feed on Facebook behind the scenes of the programme before they go on air. Was really interesting and will be on the Granada Tonight page shortly.

Of course I assume you mean Granada Reports?

Or, to be really pedantic, is it not actually (the woefully clunky/disjointed Rolling Eyes ) "ITV News Granada Reports"?!
(Insert a colon/comma etc after the word "News", if desired...)

Either that or steddenm's post was sent here via the space-time continuum from before September 2001...

I'm pretty sure 'ITV News Granada Reports' is just the logo. The Twitter/Facebook pages are still 'ITV Granada Reports' and it's usually introduced as 'This is ITV News, you're watching Granada Reports'.

Apologies it is Granada Reports. No idea why I thought it was Granada Tonight!

It's odd that Granada retained the word Reports after the 2011 rebrand, considering that all (?) other ITV plc regions lost any words after the region name (such as Tonight or Live) at that time, despite such words also being long-standing parts of programme identities.

If the current name was resolutely just plain old "ITV News Granada" (i.e. actually sodding well in-line with other regions), then the desire/need to avoid clunkiness by breaking this up into "This is ITV News, you're watching Granada Reports" (or similar) wouldn't even arise.

Of course, at least one other region has since broken ranks with the supposed total consistently at some point after 2011 too (with the revival of the "Wales at 6" name, which therefore also warrants being broken up a la Granada).
