Perhaps tacky was a tad too strong, but I still don't like it - at least not as much as the original designs.

only itv could possibly ruin the design before it's launched.
i've never been a fan of itv.com's design, and from the looks of things, i wasn't going to be - the white/black sky versions were excellent. this looks poor in comparison - a big step down. the video player looks worse somehow, and the purple just doesn't work at all. i definitely preferred it all on black, looked a lot sleeker. i can see this purple one getting old very, very quickly.

I agree. I think the positioning of the player is all wrong, and the purple background doesn't work as well as the sky did. Just the general look of the site - it's as if they've taken the original design and changed it around and now it doesn't look good. I really am disappointed with it.

I wouldn't get too worried over that one screen-grab. We should wait until the site is launched before making any judgements.

Tsk @ Lee. I thought you'd have been round here long enough to know that speculation and nit-picking over sketchy details and stills before actually seeing the finished product on screen is the whole basis of this website. Imagine what life would be like without it.

I mean it's my only reason for living, so I can laugh at how far people get wound up and how elaborate the speculation gets.

I don't think anyone listens anyway, Mr. Fish. I'm sure speculation will soon rise again!

I think it will be today. The soaps area has lost its preview area and isn't the new site having whole episodes? Might be wrong bit I hope I am right.

I think it might be Monday. This online docusoap launches on Monday at 1pm. It would be weird to launch something exclusive to the website before the relaunch which is so close.

That makes sense. I won't hold my breath, though.

An insider on DS states that the online is on Monday.

I wonder which design style they use, it better not be the bland one.

I noticed a fairly new subdomain has appeared...

In this instance used for loading the Grease videos.
