Seems they're having a few problems at C4 playout today, for the past 2 hours everytime they've tried putting graphics up on E4 (such as the ECP, next straps, etc) the same full screen frozen slide has come up showing Dance Flick as "next". Quite annoying as it has come up over the programme on a few occasions now. Nice to see the announcer making a few jokes about it though.

Yep, same thing just happened at the end of How I Met Your Mother. Strange.

Black screen right now. Only affecting Channel 4, the other channels are fine. Confused

Live sponsorship ads on Countdown tonight, though not quite as innovative as I think they're trying to sell them. Basically it's anagrams (done in numerous Countdown sponsorship ads before), with the announcer revealing a winner after the break.

8 out of 10 cats does Countdown made a very odd reference to 'researching a new programme for Bravo' tonight, which is odd considering it wasn't a very popular channel in it's day and it must have closed down at least two years ago.

I thought that was odd too, even though Danny Dyer had hosted programmes on Bravo in the past I didn't particularly think they were that memorable for a reference like that.

Is 8 Out Of 10 Cats repeated at all, as I have a ' lady friend ' whos a Danny Dyer fan(She actually met him locally a few months back!)?

She doesnt have a proper computer so she cant do 4OD as far as I know.

Tonight at 9.00pm on 4Seven.

Enjoyed last nights show but I didn't think it was as funny as the previous lot, but I know we still have another episode of it to come.

I don't think this needs a new thread, corrie stars did nothing wrong.


This programme actually airs tonight. It is [in part] up against Coronation Street.

In this one hour special Channel 4 Dispatches goes undercover to investigate what's real and what's fake in the brave new online world.

Celebrities have considerable influence on social media, but are some less than transparent when tweeting brand names to their legions of fans?

Dispatches exposes the new tricks used by marketeers to plug brands, from buying fake Facebook 'likes' and YouTube 'views' to influencing social media conversations.

Film-maker Chris Atkins travels to Bangladesh in search of backstreet 'click farms' where poorly paid workers manipulate social media for the benefit of big western brands.

Someone might win £250,000 on Deal or no Deal tomorrow (Monday)
then again, maybe not.

Well it happened, a truly sensational piece of television.

The announcer before Sunday's showing of Deal or No Deal
made it obvious there would be a £250,000 win. But I suppose devoted fans would appreciate the male winner.
