That wasn't the original endcap tonight, the original one is the orange 'Tiger Television' one, but this is the first episode of Mr Bean that ITV1 have shown recently that was made after 1993, so I think some credit is going to be different. As I think Tiger Aspect owns most rights to it now, I believe most refrences to Thames and Central have been deleted, but as ITV1 are showing the International copies, for some reason some have the Thames frontcap on them.

They didn't leave the endcap up very long tonight but I believe it said something like 'A Tiger Aspect Production in association with Thames Television for Central Television'

When they showed 'Merry Christmas Mr Bean' last week it was the International copy as it had the odd scene deleted out of it and for about half a second at the beginning of the episode you got a glimpse of the Thames logo and skyline.

Why couldn't they pull a soap?
ITV pulled an entire episode of Crossroads for September 11th.
They've also pulled entire episodes of Home & Away because of World Cup football going into extra time.
On both occasions they showed a short summary of the episode's events before the following episode, and viewers simply missed the episode.
So they could easily pull something like Corrie and whack a recap on the next ep.

Sorry, sorry....are you actually comparing Mr Bean to....9/11?
You really believe some 10 year old repeat would ever have priority over a soap that draws tens of millions?
I'm missing CM...whatever it was called already, by the way.

no he's not. He's making a perfectly valid point about soaps being moved for news.
However on the same note, Crossroads and H&A were both pulled because the news/sport was occuring live at the time. This was a news special which could be inserted at any point in the schedules, therefore it gives ITV more choice to put it in a convenient place for their advertisers.

They would never pull Corrie - that is ITV's big money earner. Crossroads and Home & Away at the time were suffering low ratings and therefor dropping an episode wouldn't annoy that many. Could you imagine the outrage if an episode of corrie was dropped and replaxed with a page of text as a summary the next day?
I do agree with the points being raised in this topic though the whole tidal wave thing has been over sensaitionalised though ITV News is becomming more and more guilty of being the tabloid of TV news.

There's so many episodes on a week now you wouldn't notice! I just think it's silly when there's umpteen other episodes a week on.

Tommorow at 8pm they are showing a random episode of Airline. Now, if I was the ITV1 scheduler, what with Airline not exactly being appropriate at the moment and the fact that they've gone to the trouble of dusting off a copy of Mr Bean for last week, maybe they could show it tommorow?
