Keeping on topic, has anyone noticed that on the end credits of Hollyoaks, the producers have changed from Mersey Television to Lime Pictures? I don't watch the programme so I don't know when it had begun.

Yeah, Mersey TV have changed their name to be more appropriate for getting international commissions or something. Although they kept a nod to the past - they chosed Lime Pictures because the mainline station in Liverpool is called Lime Street.
Why is it the UK one are easy to read, while the US/ other counties go SO fast that you have to superman to read it?
is there some regulation making the UK ones to be slower?
Always been the way with US credits. One of the reasons that they've now taken to putting the credits over the start of the programme, so that the more important cast/crew members get a decent credit time.
The scrolling credits from the US aren't helped by the frame-rate difference between the US and UK -- this makes the US credits flicker when shown in the UK, making them even harder to read and creating the illusion that they're going even faster than they are.
One thing ive notcied with Lost, is that the credits have changed. Whether when it was on channel 4 it had specially made credits or not but the first two episodes on sky one seemed to have an american style credits but this week back to the normal !?!
slightly off topic,
Does it annoy anyone how each programe made by ITV has the same looking end credits... I like what I watch to have a bit of individuality, that's all.

It certainly cheapens the programmes to have credits in a generic style and with the same font. Very often, this does not suit the tone and feel of the programme. I would have thought it also makes programmes less attractive to other broadcasters wanting to show them.
Even "previously" astons on programme recaps have to be done in the corporate font - why, when they would look nicer using graphics specific to the programme? We'll be having generic title sequences next.
ITV also fill up half the screen with their genetic 'this program has already aired so phone lines are now closed' reminder, can't they do what BB do and just cover up the voting details with a program specific graphic?
