London 2012 OBS graphics

These are a crappy ripoff of dosxuk's version.
Come up with your own design and don't just copy those of another member.

Somewhat harsh. Yes, they are no doubt inspired by dosxuk's design, but at least they are technically well executed. I don't see anybody complaining that Martin's mocks are crappy rip-offs of the BBC's graphics - especially when they're near perfect.


Well the difference is Martin's aren't crappy rip-offs, they're excellent rip-offs and most importantly they don't take the creative ideas from another member!

ITV Regional announcers (2001-Oct 2002)

In response to Mike W, from what I've heard, Central still had their own voiceovers for their local trails until around 2004 (when they started to properly crack down on regional programming) although from my own knowledge all the regional announcements from 2002 right until they finished with the opt outs in 2006/2007 were from London. Sometimes they would have a pre recorded announcement introducing a regional programme, but most of the time it was just the same announcement aired across all the other regions.

Now come to think of it, I don't see why they didn't save jobs by retaining the northern continuity team and Central's continuity team, with Central providing continuity to, say, HTV West and Anglia, and London providing continuity to themselves, Meridian and Westcountry (whilst retaining ITV1 branding at the same time).

The Olympics



I think this has almost restored my faith in present day TV mocks!

BBC World News, beginning

It's BBC News, so it was already one to miss. It's also rubbish which makes it even worse.

Is this for real?


He's singing the theme tune?!


I'm sure he'd fit in nicely in the mentaly disturbed class from Malcolm In The Middle

Love that! Never seen the Meridian logo in ASCII before.


Looks more like the Mac OS logo.

Identify the correct year for the Pres.



Central
So I take it we are going for 1st September 1998 for when the cake went?


From this video I have discovered, I think we can rule out anything after 10th May 1998

Obviously it doesn't explain when exactly these idents were introduced, but if it is correct that the cake was discontinued in May, it would definatly have been at the most a week and a half before this recording was made.

Meridian - 1982

Nice work on the IBA slide, and well done for having a go at an invision mock as well.
I'd be interested to know how the ident formed up (if it had animation that is).

What if Central seperated itself from Carlton in 1998?

Lukesams, you may as well just shoot this mock into the back of the head and put it out of its misery, its clear you are getting absoloutly nowhere. 2D central cake just doesn't work.
