[/QUOTE] The ITV1 idents don't feature, say, recognisible English and Welsh landmarks or locations. I see no reason why a channel's idents should focus on "saying something about" the country in which the channel is available.

The ITV 1 idents couldn't feature English or Welsh landmarks if they tried. They were all filmed in South Africa!

Grey's Anatomy on Channel 4

Yes, Four showed a repeat run of Morse around the mid 80s .

What is a clean feed and a dirty feed?

Re Clean Feed / Dirty Feed
In Transmission terms:
A clean feed is the feed of programmes to other stations in a network clean of any added 'furniture' - vo/ end credits, osns, etc .
A dirty feed is the feeding of the transmission of a stations' output complete with endcredit additions, and junctions - promos, comms, idents etc. ...

Prison Break

I don't know if anyone else is watching this but it's pretty gripping stuff once you get into it. Five are running a catch up night of the first 3 episodes this Friday night for anyone who wants to jump in before ep 4.

Channel 4 wins Channel of the year

Predict Five will win it next year. Certainly the channel that has evolved the most from its original incarnation. It even beat ITV in peak time with the launch of the new CSI series this week.

How is the continuity announcer advertising the news?

"You're watching love...now, the latest fast headlines from the london studios of fear."????

Something along those lines?

Incidentally, someone told me today they were watching "Love" last night. But I'm not sure whether they meant five or a random late-night satellite channel.

"Can we turn over to Fear now?"

No 'hope' for you then !

I think the countdown was just for the launch of Prison Break. They have done that before with other big drama launches.....

Liked Prison Break alot...the set up episodes are always a bit tricky as there is a lot to take in...I'm going to stick with it ...and see what I think after a couple more

...think Silk Cut and B&H....you knew what those brands were without the words telling you...same applies to Five with the use of the same font ...and with the announcers verbally stating Five...do you need it on the idents?

Interesting junction....very slick ...certainly a cooler cleaner feel than ITV. Funny how people keep saying no one ever watches five...you're obviously not tracking the audience growth. It quite often beats ITV and Four in various slots these days.

Thanks Goldmister - fans of sons and daughters will indeed know you are a 'reliable source'

I see Prison Break won America's People's Choice Award for favourite new drama ...lets hope it's as good as people are saying! Could do with another 'Lost' to get stuck into!

New look timed to launch around Prison Break I gather
