More hilarious clips from Granada's past tonight.
Great clips of Lucy hairstyles of the past and Tony from 1994.
They should make it a weekly feature.

Shame though they had an ad break. Is this going to be the norm from now on? In a 30 minute show it is real switch off time.

Whatever happened to Tony Barnes (think that's right!). I remember him leaving then cropping up on something like Five News once or twice before completly disapearing!


You should never ever send emails you wouldn't want your bosses or your better half to see...


What do you mean by that? (In this case?)

Does anyone know whether the view of Manchester on the screen is Live or broadcast from a looped tape. As I couldn't help but notice they've changed the view slightly, it appears the camera has been moved back a bit so you can see more of Manchester and less of that road with the bridge.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing.
I'd be intrigued to know.
Plus I tuned in to GMTV this morning and noticed they've started using the live shot during their GMTV bulletins.
How long has that been going on?

I noticed the slight change of view on Tuesday night, I also noticed it was slightly slanted as well.

Today is the first time I have noticed the view being used during the GMTV bulletins.

What do you mean slanted?
I recorded it at 0810 and have looked at it again and can't notice anything?

Yes I spoke to a friend of mine in Yorkshire and so are they.
I think all the ITV regions are taking breaks.
Is this a permanent change for ITV?

No more ad breaks?
Have they stopped in the other regions?

Meanwhile Granada Reports did a stunt tonight where they flew an England flag from the top of the building to support the team tomorrow.
Mike Hall was live from the top of it!!!

How many phone numbers can there be on Granada Reports?
Some giveaway to do with the Lottery and a competition and an appeal for viewers to contact them.
Are they trying to buy viewers?
One phone number a day is fine but any more than that is too much!!!
