Unforgotten ITV

could it be dropped in light of Sarah Everard case?

Murray Walker has died.

Believe if you get knighted and become a Sir, you retain it in name when you go. Obvious example here is Jimmy Savile, which is still technically a sir, as it was never rescinded before he died so...

"Channel of the Year"

BBC1 and BBC2

As much as I don't like the tags, at least Channel 5 did them well - nice simple fades and off at the end. BBC Two just looks pants, but sadly that's what we've come to expect these days.

Black & white bar top right of screen

All true, and sadly - nothing has changed. I missed that programme. Not going to happen since he fell into the Netflix machine, but it would be nice to think he would do another series of Screenwipe.
