I noticed at the end Stars in their eyes they had a Granada Production endcap - surely it should be a Granada Manchester production?

Is You've Been Framed and Tonight made in Manchester too as im sure I saw a Granada Manchester endcap on those.

Yes I thought that too, i'll have a check on the endcap on Monday night. Ive noticed some programmes have just a Granada Production endcap not a Granada Manchester/Yorkshire/London one even when they are made in one of those places e.g. This Morning had a Granada endcap but surely it should be Granada-London? Maybe its because Granada make it rather than LWT?

Yeah I think Tonight does get the 'Granada Manchester' treatment.

Remember This Morning came from Liverpool, so it was made by Granada Television, then they switched Production to London, but it was still made by Granada Television, though obviously now it cannot be credited to Granada Manchester, but to an extent it cannot be credited to Granada London.

Tonight I think had something to do with World In Action production wise, though presenting comes from London, they probably do some of it in Manchester or have some form of Production up there. As mentioned on the Forum they record it at ITN, not Quay Street or the South Bank.

Granada at Manchester do make alot for ITV and also help with other channels, 3SixtyMedia allows them to house programmes for the BBC and Channel 4, I also recall Granada Manchester do make some Educational Programmes for Channel 4, the odd bit for Five and even Sky somewhere. I also read that a CiTV show was recently recorded there. They also do alot of editing, shows like My Favourite Hymms and Dead Man Weds. (Even though that is made by Red and not Granada)

Yes I thought that too, because TM was a Granada Television production (although filmed in London) they wouldnt give it a Granada-London endcap. Ive noticed progs with Granada-London endcaps tend to be LWT programmes (noticed that the copyright at the end of progs still has the proper company name ie. Anglia, LWT, Meridian, Yorkshire). I wonder why Stars in their eyes has just "Granada" not Granada Manchester when it is supposed to be filmed in Manchester?

Getting impatient then, Mr Liftshaft?

Why not while away the waiting time by correcting the sizing of your pictures and checking how to spell Cymru?
