Yes, that was the first thing that struck me on seeing it. Not that hard to believe sadly.

I have pointed it out to them. Will be interesting to see if they take the trouble to fix it.



You talk, they listen...

They've just slapped that on top rather than edit it properly. Still, guess it's better than it was...

I got told by someone that ITV going to put their idents on Dec 24 until Jan 1 then Jan 2 will see the new look ITV1.

C4 may not have an ident this year.

I'm surprised that no-one has mentioned that ITV1 have started airing promotions with the Christmas graphics.

It seems as if they are re-using the blue ice background but with a new shiney star/flake.

Can't wait to see the complete idents!

What? I thought the ITV1 revamp was going to occur on January 16 along with the News.

And Christmas Eve is very late for Christmas idents, but IMO that's a good idea.

I don't know in the old days the BBC didn't reveal their idents until Christmas Eve.

Clip of the new scenery ident aired before the Bill tonight. This features the longer jingle but stops half way through and changes to the crappy old network soundtrack from years ago:

UTV Christmas Ident NEW (MPEG, 2.4MB)

UTV Christmas Ident NEW (RealPlayer, 0.8MB)

On a side note, UTV have tonight also started showing a Christmas breakbumper featuring the falling snow over the UTV logo.

Ooh ooh!

Just saw an advert for Taggart, all the same except with a snowflakey sparkle bursting continually out of the ITV1 logo.
