It isn't, but it definitely sounds familiar.

Not related but on BBC WN, the chemical manufacturer BSAF has sponsored Click for the last two weeks. A title card with a voiceover is played right after the ident proceeding the bottom of the hour headlines.

*BASF. And the German company does have an interesting connection to television: They were once among the leading manufacturers of videotape.

All our early CD-Rs were BASF, and I'm sure there were a few tapes mixed in with the Memorex, the Scotch, the TDK, and the mandatory BBC tape.

Didn't BASF later rebrand to Emtec? Certainly remember buying some CDR's in the late 90s with the branding 'Emtec BASF' on.

Actually, BASF spun-off its magnetics division into BASF Magnetics in 1996, and that company was renamed EMTEC in 1997, when BASF sold that company.

Click had an interval for over 30 seconds during part 1 of it's 2 part Australia special when I saw it on BBC News HD today.

In all my time I have watched that programme I have never seen that part of the show before. Is this interval a new addition to Click?

Judging by the lack of UK references at the end of the show and the News channel team being confused, I guess the international version was played out by accident.

I always thought it was Click! - as an imperative rather than a noun. My mistake.


You might be thinking of 'Clunk Click!'...but best not to go there ;

I've just watched back the recording of the 1:30am Saturday version of click. This again had a break that went to black before being filled with a repeat of the weather. The second part aired with no clock or ticker due to it being removed for the weather. There didn't appear to be any tech news or webscape this week either. Could it possibly be that there was no UK version due to it being an Australia special?

A few months after we thought they were, Click are getting a new look tomorrow.

The USB titles have aged very well, much better than the last set of titles for Click Online. They looked very 90s in a good way - if that makes sense. Sad to see them go.
