Oh that's disappointing, Konnie could have done better... a lot better.

Sack of potatoes better.

The Magnificent Konnie Huq you say?

Konnie was credited as Kanak Huq, as a "Thanks to" I think, on the first episode.

I know Viva and maybe 4Music have used "After the X-factor" as scheduling pointers before - Viva when showing films on a Sunday I think. Nothing as major as C4 itself though

Didn't they do the same with Peter Kaye's Who Want's to be a Strictly Come Pop Idol on Ice out of Here?

That's Konnie's real first name.

Thought the attention to detail was especially good, from the UK media being given a D-Notice while the rest of the world's news channels were carrying the story, to little things like the mention of the Guardian running a live blog. Although I'm sure in a real newsroom, no journo would be that surprised about being asked to update the obit VT in that situation, it'd be standard practice I'm sure.

They were blink-and-miss-em moments, but the tweets (opinionated and glib) and YouTube comments (spiteful and mentioning "false flags") that appeared on screen were spot on, too.


Though they were renamed DA-Notices in 1993!

I saw a promo on Sky earlier this year that advertised a programme 'after Britain's Got Talent' with no mention of times whatsoever.


Not quite the same, but I'm sure we all remember whenever Stevie Morgan was on the 23:00 - 01:00 Avago shift, he would welcome back viewers at 00:10 who had been watching one of the adult channels 10 minute freeviews.
