C4 have been screening 100 Greatest Musicals over the last couple of nights, complete with the new look graphics introduced for the 100 Greatest Sexy Moments, and produced by Shine - it was actually a lot better produced than recent efforts - commentary kept to a minimum and usually from relevant sources rather than D-list comics.
However, 100 Greatest TV Treats of 2003, was produced by Granada, and used the original style graphics.
Anybody know why the production of these programmes change quite often - do C4 own the rights and give them out separately for each version (if you know what I mean!)?
Contrary to the subtitle of this thread, until Shine got involved earlier this year, all the original 100 Greatest shows were made by YORKSHIRE TV and not Tyne Tees - they simply used a Tyne Tees end board to make it look as if Granada was making something from the regions.
As for Shine's graphics. Well, a company puts in a proposal to Ch4 and if the commissioning editor likes it, then s/he will commission it - the Granada productions (ie Yorkshire with a TTTV end cap) would naturally recycle their own graphics, while Shine would probably want to be impressive and generate lots of new ones, the aim - no doubt - being to wrest production of all 100 Greatest away from Granada...?
the producer of previous "Tyne Tees" productions was based at City Road although they used Leeds based research/production staff together with Newcastle based staff- and don't forget all network productions made in Leeds and Newcastle are made by Yorkshire Tyne Tees Productions not by the seperate broadcast companies.
