Surely they could’ve just cut the ITVS/BBC one out?
Interesting Endboards
The Road yo Coronation Street recently was rebroadcast on ITV3 with the “ITV Studios for BBC” end board followed by the generic ITV Studios one.Surely they could’ve just cut the ITVS/BBC one out?

The Paul O'Grady Show 2013
It's a library track unfortunately. Unless you're talking of the McFly-penned theme. I think the same library administer that too.

Sir Bruce Forsyth RIP
This Morning had a few clips of him this morning in broadcast quality, however Loose Women seem to have pulled their own archive from YouTube. Was very pixelated and blurred.

Would this be classed as product placement as the reports are sponsored by TransPennine Express? The subtitle listed it as TransPennine rather than "trans-Pennine".
The New ITV & BBC Weather Thread
On tonight's Granada News (Sunday, 23rd July) the presenter made a reference saying "if you are travelling TransPennine...".Would this be classed as product placement as the reports are sponsored by TransPennine Express? The subtitle listed it as TransPennine rather than "trans-Pennine".

Finally the BBC are seeing sense and bringing back something that the public has wanted for a while. I know there was talk a while ago about Miranda Hart bringing it back (and think a pilot was filmed) but nothing came of it.
Generation Game to be brought back with Mel and Sue
From the BBC:Quote:
Former Great British Bake Off hosts Mel & Sue are to host the return of BBC classic show The Generation Game.
It has been commissioned for an initial four-episode run, although a launch date has yet to be set.
"It's a cuddly toy, it's a toaster, it's a circular power saw, no it's Mel and Sue doing the Generation Game! We can't believe it, we are so excited!" the hosts said.
The new show will combine aspects of the original series with new games.
Perkins had hinted earlier this month on Radio 4's Desert Island Discs that the presenting duo might reunite for another TV project soon, after quitting The Great British Bake Off last year when the BBC lost the rights to Channel 4.
"I'm very hopeful Mel and I will do some pratting about, but I couldn't tell you exactly what yet. Possibly some prime-time pratting," she told Kirsty Young.
BBC Studios said audiences had identified the Generation Game as "the TV show that viewers most wanted to see back on their screens".
The show sees pairs of family members across generations take part in performance and task-based games, with the ultimate goal of facing the Conveyor Belt, and taking home prizes.
All the family pairs will start the show in the studio audience and only find out which game they are playing when Mel and Sue announce them.
A panel of star judges will score the pairs after each game and decide which will get to face the Conveyor Belt.
Charlotte Moore, the director of BBC content, said: "The Generation Game is an iconic BBC One show, so to be able to bring it back for today's audience with Mel and Sue overseeing things is a wonderful moment for the channel."
The Generation Game began on BBC One in 1971, with Sir Bruce Forsyth as its longest-serving host.

Doctor Who (2015)
Quote:
Deborah Watling, Doctor Who companion, dies aged 69
Actress Deborah Watling, who played one of Patrick Troughton's companions in the early years of Doctor Who, has died at the age of 69.
Watling played Victoria Waterfield in 40 episodes between 1967 and 1968, most of which were wiped after transmission.
Her father was the actor Jack Watling, who appeared alongside her in two Doctor Who adventures.
Her brother Giles Watling, Conservative MP for Clacton, said she would be "sorely missed".
"She was a lovely, lovely girl, bubbly and vibrant," he said of his sibling.
Born in Loughton in Essex in 1948, Watling made her first TV appearance as a child in William Tell.

Thanks!
Transmitters at Sea
Recently on a trip to Blackpool we noticed that there were two very tall transmitters out at sea - near the two wind farms in the Irish Sea. One is closer to shore than the other. Does anybody have a clue what they are? I've tried Google and nothing.Thanks!
