Something else that's weird... that "BBC One has never looked so good" thing for HD with Alan Sugar, Dot Cotton, Daleks et al... doesn't look good. To me it doesn't look much better than upscaled SD, and it looks like it was made at film rate and then had a video effect applied to it - I keep my thinking my TV's "smooth" function has kicked in by itself, which it sometimes does - Jake's keepy-uppies are smooth, but then when Alex opens the box it's all back to film speed.
ETA: DOG's back for Magicians. Maybe they make an exception for Total Wipeout because the picture quality's so awful, they can't even try to pass it off as HD...

I don't think 'the bits between the programmes' are ever HD are they? So that includes any HD promotion.
Has anything else replaced the other 'regional slots' on HD or is it still the red caption?
On one occasion I did see BBC HD Preview, with BBC One branding, replace the regional news, with a caption overlayed along the bottom of the screen saying to change to 101/1 for the news.

That's usually at 6.30pm on weekdays, with Come Fly With Me being the final preview. All other Regional bulletins have the red caption, it's only Inside Out and I think The Politics Show that have some Regional output on BBC One HD.
