Noticed on the first showing of Bullseye the credits were different at the end and i also noticed on them "Star prize provided by Vauxhall Motors"


It was back to the dartboard cabinet style credits last night. Makes me think they're not showing the episodes in sequence.

The 1992 series of Krypton ends on Saturday, any chance of them going on to 1993 on Sunday or will the re-wind back to the 87 series?

There wasn't a Krypton Factor in 1993 - so no chance of that happening! Laughing

I'd really like to see the 1995 series again - just to see how awful it really was. Do Virgin Media have the rights to show it?

I've never seen the 1995 series of Krypton before so i'd like to see that.

I notice a Stars In Their Eyes grand final went out on Wednesday night over two hours. Yet Thursday's showing is still dated from being 2000. Two series in 2000 I take it?

The grand final was surprisingly still considerably intact editing-wise, considering some of the shoddy editing I've seen on other shows aired on the Virgin channels. Obviously had to cut round the "call this number to vote for Freddie Mercury" bits but it was generally well done if a bit rough round the edges. The results programme, which I'm sure went out separately, is tacked on afterwards on the re-run. The results programme only lasted ten minutes, Virgin obviously had to chop a great big chunk out of that. No credits for it either, wonder if they were added on the fly originally on the transmission feed only hence why they don't appear on the rerun? Hmm.

I also note "Help! I'm becoming My Dad" (or a programme with a similar sort of title) starts Saturday at 8pm, replacing Dog the Bounty Hunter. I also note they're still airing Dave Spikey Bullseye trailers all week and then showing Jim Bowen Bullseye episodes at the weekend.

Yeah, I think that's some rights issue. i.e. they don't have advertising rights for the old Bullseye but can air the Spikey's Bullseye trailers because its currently on Challenge.
