BBC Slipping

I have just watched the first episode of the new holby city series - and two dreadful errors have made themselves known:

Firstly, and less importantly, fading the endboard too late - so it covered half of the credits.

Secondly - major cock-up - if anyone can capture this take a look

this is how the end of the credits appears

HOLBY CI+Y
Director: blaha blah (can't remember his name)
BBC ONLINE: www.co.uk/holbycity

I can't believe the designers missed the BBC part from the web address!!!!

Just take a look for yourselves and you'll see what i mean. i wonder if it will have changed next week??

PS - did anyone see the end of the Star Trek TNG Pilot - the BBC have gone mad - the credits shrank to about a 10cm^2 square on the screen and the rest taken up with an ad for 'Robot Wars Exclusive' on BBC Choice. I don't mind cross channel advertising (even though i only have terrestrial), and making the credits half of the screen on ITV is bad - but i thought the bbc were beyond this.

Also - i do hope that BBC doesn't fork out for the world cup - even though a lot of people watch it (i don't btw) i think �140 million is far too much of licence payer's money

Rant over!

I tried to register yesterday but the registration feature was offline, and info from TV Ark's forum and the Announcement told me SPAM was to blame. As it happens, there's been an incident of spamming on Bravenet guestbooks. APFS is a victim, I know that much. Basically, SPAM is stupid. That's why I hate it.
