Something interesting I noted from the documentary that as far as I can tell hasn't been reported on here, is that the 'Yorkshire Television' sans-chevron signage at The Leeds Studios has finally been replaced with a new 'ITV Yorkshire' sign (in this style: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ITV_Yorkshire_2013.svg )

It's had the sign since the logo change, and indeed it had a sign featuring the previous ITV logo for a few years before that, its quite a number if years since the sign you are talking about was still in place.

Good to see they still keep Dusty Bin at Yorkshire.

Ah I didn't know, in the previous times I've searched Google I haven't been able to find a picture of the front of the studios with new signage (although I guess the pictures of the other sides of the building with the old new logo on should have given it away...).

Anyone know if it has a late night rerun this week? As I missed it.

Unfortunately it seems there are no repeats (on any channel) before next week's episode.

On reflection its interesting that they visited former purpose built ITV studios, Yorkshire , Central etc. but were unable to visit BBC built studios as they have all been or about to be knocked down.

Safe Style UK adverts at one point.

Nothing else national as far as I'm aware. Probably just Calendar news and the local Last Orders politics programme. Even Countdown isn't done at YTV any more.

Well even before that it had the 2006 logo, http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f363/TheAxG/P1000450.jpg
That sign was horrible, the black text is hard to read. They really should've used white.
