Thank you for the kind words, the pages are now completed, Its not been easy trying to deal with all this pres snowballing. I cant take all the credit, rob and Paul did help out. You cant recorded everything your self.

Hopeful it will become a valuable source for many people into this historical event, just like the Scottish ref mk1.

Also in case your mist it GMTV early 90s pages have been updated.

TV Live has moved to new webspace this morning. With the new webspace, comes a new site address. TV Live can now be found at tvlive.org.uk - you can still access the site via the old address for the time being.

Nice new look. May I ask how many logos has the website had over the years?

Going back to the start of this thread, you can see me, 9 years ago, moaning at the use of a JPEG logo:

Using the ancient restoration technique of Microsoft Paint, this is the logo from when this thread started:

EDIT: Reading on, the first logo change was 4 days after the start of the thread.

I think I know where this conversation's going to head, and I'd rather it didn't. I know there's been a lot of refreshes and new logos over the years, and I admit that some of the logo designs have been a bit iffy, but I really do like the new logo. The latest change came about because of emails sent to me saying that it wasn't very nice, and with the move to new hosting, the time was right to change it to something a bit more friendly.

Anyway, as I said earlier, moving on...

Identity crisis by any chance?

I remember the first tv press site I visited, think it was Jim Edward's TV World. Great site. I also liked the one that was attached to this forum, it had great quality 'real' videos at the time, which took an age to download
