That’s the exact same trailer just with an American voiceover (and an air date). It does look very different to a normal C4 trail, which is the point I suppose.

Nothing obvious in the schedules in the days after the US airing or any TBA.

It appears that this will be airing the day after the US, ‘Who Is America?’ Monday 16th July at 10pm.

Interesting that the map on the endboard of the credits for 8 Out of 10 Cats does Countdown says it was "filmed in Manchester". Which is factually (pedantically) wrong on both counts, as Salford is a city and it's not made on film.

Also interesting in the credits, why would they have both Floor Manager and Stage Managers?

Floor manager runs the studio floor, and stage manager looks after the guests 'off stage' and cues them on when required?

I mean everyone here calls Salford Manchester, it’s not too much of an issue.

Oh come on. I think it's a bit of an issue when something is being formally stated as being in one location. I'm not pedantic enough to worry in casual conversation – 'I'm going up to Manchester' – when referring to Salford (although it's reasonable enough to be corrected). But I think if you're saying 'we made this in Manchester' on the record, it's probably fair to expect it was actually made in that place.

Now if they'd said Greater Manchester…

If they'd said "Made in Newcastle" when something was actually made in Sunderland or Gateshead, then there would be hell to pay...

All these problems easily solved by using the correct term for the area - "Granadaland".

That’s very true, it just didn’t stick out to me as a big issue - however I’m used to living somewhere small where the conversation goes a bit like (but with where I live instead of Salford and MCR) with someone from the rest of the country
‘I live in Salford’
‘...where’s that’
‘*sigh*...I live in Manchester’

But yes, it should’ve been correct.

As someone from Warrington I can vouch for this. Except we say near Manchester.

Doesn’t bother me either way but I can nit pick with people who say that Coronation Street is filmed at Salford Quays, yes it’s filmed at MediaCity, but on the other side of the water, in Trafford.

Remember the University of Salford's rebrand?
