I noticed Channel 4 seemed to show the 12 o'clock ident for the lunchtime summary today, even though it was at 1pm...

Oh no! A mistake like that is completely, utterly inexplicable. I'm storming into Channel 4's HQ tomorrow to complain about this appalling mess...

Best do the storming whilst there is only one HQ to storm into.

Did the 4 form up at the end or was it removed?

It didn’t form up, but obviously you can still see the outlines of the roads and such making it out.


Here's the Channel 4 version:

I remember watching the clean version with no logo somewhere, not sure where though.

See how being one hour off isn't the end of the world?

I thought it was notable, I wasn't complaining.

Has the 9 o'clock version ever been used again since this ident set were launched with it?

Something I've not seen before - Channel 4 squeezed a brief apology at the end of an ad-break, over a bit of one of their idents and before the sponsor credit, to apologise for "very strong language" on The Last Leg . I didn't catch it, whatever it was...

It's a live show, so if there was an apology to be made, you'd think it could come from the presenter, but for some reason it was given to the CA to do.

It's a live, post-watershed show that starts at 22:00, so not sure why they need to apologise.

Being on after the watershed doesn't give a someone carte-blanche to say anything they want.

That's ideally how it happens, but maybe the production team didn't spot it at the time and it was felt that after the break was too late to be done by Adam Hills?

Watched it this morning and rewound it but still couldn't work out what was said

Broadcasting post-watershed doesn't mean 'anything goes'. There is still a sliding scale of 'offensiveness' when it comes to language. Some words will always trigger a warning, or an apology if said without a warning, whatever the time of day. Similarly offensive comments that don't use bad language but cause offence in a different way.

All I caught was "motherf***er" and can only assume there's some sort of quirk in Ofcom's rules that renders that more offensive than the sans-mother variation. A lot of people on Twitter are scratching their heads over it too, but I a watched it back on All4 and nothing appeared to be edited.

AIUI, America allows the word "ass" but not "asshole", but it's censored as "ass****". Puts things into perspective when you consider, not so long ago, Miriam Margoleyes dropped two C-bombs on the show.

And yet “mother****er” isn’t allowed. What a world.

Adam Hills apologised on both occasions, so the CA didn't need to say anything.
