I'm more confused about why Points of View has a BBC Northern Ireland credit. Is it actually made in Belfast now?

No it's not, it's filmed at NBH, but presumably the production team is based in Belfast.

Yep it's odd because the titles also feature that relatively large BBC NI logo at the start.

For years production was based in Birmingham.

Its the same reason why Question time office is in Glasgow quoter for regional production of network content. its also why alot of crap Lotto gameshows are made in Glasgow. Somehow that give views of decent level of TV from across the UK.

Here's a comparison of the The One Show's end board (when they're in the studio) - they've lost the URL and become a sustainable production

Looks rather daft having that on a show like Countryfile, since none of it is actually recorded in a TV studio ... !

Good old "BBC" would do. This just makes it too easy to sell off the production side of the business down the track.

Not something this government would at all encourage...

Funny you should say that… considering that's what they used to do up until the whole 'BBC [Genre] Production [Placename]' format was introduced. At least this is a bit more concise than that one
