Free unless there's no real reason to apply copyright to something too basic to hold copyright over, threshold of originality and all that. I imagine the same reasons that allow this would also apply to the official logo, they're going on the assumption that this logo is official anyway so why not?

Wikipedia does allow copyrighted images, however
Wikimedia Commons
does not. The logo gets past this by being "This image only consists of simple geometric shapes and/or text. It does not meet the threshold of originality needed for copyright protection, and is therefore in the public domain. Although it is free of copyright restrictions, this image may still be subject to other restrictions. See WP:PD#Fonts or Template talk:PD-textlogo for more information."

IIRC it can't be an exact copy because that would be a copyrighted image. Wikimedia encourages free alternatives.

I guess I recalled
incorrectly
then! Thanks. The difference between Wikipedia and WMC can be confusing sometimes. Still, it shows that the programme makers were pretty lazy in using the correct logo. But then again I guess the normal viewer and the producers aren't that bothered by tiny details like this. Well, anyway, it's up on the iPlayer now so here's a screenshot:

It's a lot clearer on the broadcast BBC One HD transmission, but I think you can still see the difference there.

Text Santa credits thanking all on screen 'talent' yet nothing for the production team, crew etc as there would be on any normal programme. How charitable.

I'm pretty sure by 'talent' they mean everyone on the programme, including the crew. Not everyone has the talent to work a TV camera, or (and this is the only example I can think of because of the video's posted, but anyway) edit VTs.

All onscreen talent was credited by name. It didn't literally say "talent".

But the thing is people don't really care who worked behind the scenes on a programme.

The people who work behind the scenes do. It's how they get jobs.

Text Santa was a good programme, tonight's felt better than the launch show, and a mixture of children in need and Saturday Night Takeaway. Ant, Dec & Holly did a great job, and over £3million isn't a bad total for the first year, unlike Children in Need & Comic/Sport Relief, they didn't say if the total contained money raised from Merchandise.
Does any body know what was used to create the backdrop to the lovely set design? With the animations, twinkling stars and many overlays, I presume that it was some Sort of display, but it seemed to fill the whole wall of Studio 1.
