That's the first time in absolutely ages I've seen the Dubai ident used (junction into 4thought.tv). Am I right in thinking it's a bit of a rarity or do I just not watch enough C4?

Can't; say I've noticed either way to be honest.

What is the deal with 4thought.tv though - it seems to be on everynight and even if something else takes the 7.55pm slot it usually gets an airing at 11pm? Previously with 3 Minute Wonder it would air Mon-Thu only and simply be dropped if something took the slot - not squeezed into the schedule regardless.

Stephen Fry's 100 Greatest Gadgets, just had fax machines - with clips of faxes coming through with the ITC logo on them and people cheering. I wonder what companies they are


And at the beginning when they showed a clip from Only Fools and Horses, you just saw a second of the Channel 4 Space Squad ident used from 1982-1996!

They need to broadcast a balance of views on one particular subject, and if they shunted it on to the next day (as they did with 3 Minute Wonder), the weekly topic change would be lost.

I don't like the programme though.

I suppose it's best just to come out with these things, no use being Bashful Laughing

I'm sure many viewers were too sleepy to notice.

Glad it's gone...though I doubt it'll be replaced with anything better. It's had it's day.
