Seen off with a segment of the original music and, er... that's it:

Nothing less than I expected, mind.


Could've played the music for longer... Sad

As for the trailer: "Beard or no beard?" - I like that reference to the final few weeks of Adrian's The One Show tenure there. But the trailer should've waited until after the commercials, really.

'Always trousers' made me snigger a little too.

But unfortunately people DO believe the portrayal, no matter how correct... see the recent Daily Mail headlines!

But that doesn't make true

Showbusiness is a very fickle beast - in my line of work 80% of us are out of a job in our industry at any one time - but I think Ms Phillips summed it up perfectly when she said that people need to know who they're waking up with.

And she's right, hence why GMTV needed a big shake up and that what it got. People should soon know that they'll wake up with Adrian & Christine, like they did with Fiona and Eamon!

Yes the music - hands were tied by management in terms of doing anything big.

There was also a sound effect applied at the end of the theme music (a child’s voice saying ‘bye, bye, bye’ – spoken over the last few frames of the animated logo). Was on the out-going feed from TLS but doesn’t appear to have made it to air due to the slightly abrupt cut-off I guess.

Yeah you can hear that on the gallery clip earlier (although I thought it was someone in the gallery rather than on air). Have to say though - the abrupt cut-off was due to the programme ever so slightly missing their off-air point rather ITV cutting them off. It's not like there's someone waiting to fade them out when they've finished, there's a fixed off-air point they'd be working to at which point you get you trailers, break and black all timed to hit 09:25 exactly.

Absolutely. Wasn't trying to suggest network had cut them off early somehow ...

That was played just after the lady counting down hit zero - so I don't think it was going to go to air anyway, and just to be played in the gallery and studio. But when I first heard it, I did think it was someone in the gallery AND thought they said 'bye, bye, bye, bye' to the 4bar GMTV jingle.

That music is 3 tracks mixed together, first being the main David Arch track, second, someone said was McFly and the signature notes from the 1999 package.

Is there usually a GMTV ident / branding weekend mornings or is it straight into CITV ?

I notice that the kids shows are listed as GMTV this weekend, but next weekend are just listed as individual shows.

So you're saying McFly did the rock guitar part?
