As mentioned above, this may be something to do with ex-Quizmaniac (I thought of that myself) Chuck Thomas being in charge?


I believe it might be to do with the News UK link, rather than Chuck himself.

This is all going off rough memories from the best part of a decade ago, so don't take this as concrete fact, but I believe Greg was pulled off air on his Sun Quiz Live debut. His first show was promoted for weeks, and on the evening itself, he had presented a few teasers live from the studio before he was due to go on air. About 15 minutes before the scheduled start time, the teasers stopped happening, and the show started about 30 minutes late with another presenter, and Greg's name was never mentioned again on any Sun Quiz Live broadcast.

I don't want to speculate on the reasons behind Greg never making it to air, but I'd assume that's why Greg can't do Q-Live.


Didn't he do a Sun Bingo thing a couple of years ago?


Ooh, he did, actually. I forgot about that. I believe Chuck Thomas was involved in that production too.

…and finally

I was only 11 when I first joined this forum, and I'm 30 in just over a month. It's been a place I've checked pretty much every day ever since - I'll be very sad to see it go!

Thanks for the hard work and effort that's been put in over the last couple of decades, and I hope the future holds excellent things for everyone!
dbl, johnnyboy and Roger Darthwell gave kudos

BBC Two 2018 Revamp

I'm going to stick my head over the parapet here: I really don't feel that these idents are as great as everyone is making them out to be. Yes, they are a breath of fresh air, but they do nothing to shout about the brand BBC TWO.

Technically they are absolutely beautiful videos - very creative and stylish and look stunning in HD - but they could be slapped on any channel. What is so BBC TWO about them? Nothing.

They are meaningless.


I guess the curve looks like a very styalised '2', and the screen is cut into two distinct halves. Having said that, they in themselves don't really represent BBC Two.

I'm in agreement though, I don't see the wow factor that everybody else sees. It's great to have a cohesive look once more, but they don't convey the personality of the channel to me.
