For some reason, Channel 4 News used their general titles for News at Noon today - rather than images associated with the top story, which was Elton John getting hitched!

Only the second time I've seen them, but they are very nice. Basically instead of the images you have a purple and green rotating globe.

Anyone got any caps, video?

That would be interesting to see. When was the last time that happened?

The ceremony was only at 11am, and so maybe it was too late for the staff that edit the title sequence to do it before transmission (or maybe they were getting ready for their Xmas Office party Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy)

Our Xmas do always officially starts at midday in the pub, but the wine is normally flowing in the office from about 10am when the mince pies come out - Shocked Embarassed Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Yeap, our mince pies were out before I even got in and large amounts of Larger and Wine were on reception - Helpful.

General titles were used as a back up. IIRC correctly they were used on the same day that they managed to revert to the previous package for the Lunchtime bulletin.

It's quite a while ago since I saw them last. I think it was just a couple of weeks after relaunch or something.

Do C4 put their bulletins on the website - I looked before but couldn't find it?

If they do, and anyone could capture the titles from them please could they do so?
