Did my ears hear right tonight? The ITV announcers intro into the Networks Big New drama "Sweet Medicine" and he calls it SWEET PRACTICE. Oh dear!.
Surely the ITV chiefs at the Network Centre would have wanted this to be distanced from dear old Peak Practice.
Anyone else hear it also.

Oh dear that would never have happened in the old days!
I assume the announcer was a man that isn't Mr No Wet Wonderfoam or Scottish Paul

No I think Wonderfoam Man would have said a bit more. Don't think even he would have mad such an almighty Gaff. Wonder what the producer thought.?

Just heard on ITV1: "There's headaches for those Airline staff. Find out why, Friday at 8:30."
All the bad bits of a continuity announcement from twenty years ago, without any of the good bits. I reckon it includes at least five things an announcer should never do, which is one per second..!

It's Glen Thompsett, with a "p".
He definitely wasn't on tonight.
Managed to stagger home then, Harvey ...?

Yep!
Have to say that was one of the better TV Forum get togethers!
