Bit off topic but Extra Camp is painful.
Everything just seems so shoddy and cobbled together and all of the presenters seem as though they've never presented live television before.
I know there's many who'll enjoy it but in my opinion, it's absolutely dire.


To be honest, I don't really think the programme is designed to be sleek and professional. I think it is more focused on just being a 'bit of a laugh'. I don't mind watching parts of it, but I do agree that it is quite cobbled together but as DJGM, I think there is an audience that quite enjoys that sort of style.

It’s like BGMT which is like one long ‘in joke’

To be fair I don’t mind Joe Swash on this, he’s part of the furniture and doesn’t take himself seriously and is up for getting involved in the challenges.

I’d prefer more of a professional TV presenter than Joel or Scarlett though. The problem now is that it seems compulsory that you have to have been a camp mate to actually host the show, so you couldn’t pick one of the usual roster of second rate presenters.

Is this the first year they’ve gone with the black background end credits? I remember enjoying the fact IAC broke from the house style with the picture of the jungle behind the credits.

Indeed it’s something I wish ITV would allow to happen more often. Broadchurch did it, but other than that they force the boring black style on everything and I don’t see why they couldn’t allow programme makers to use their own backgrounds provided they didn’t take away from the legibility of the credits themselves, which would be required to present in the format (text size, ITV font) that they do now.


Is there a reason why all itv shows these days must have a blank background for their end credits? I’d rather watch an extra scene or a cold closing rather than a boring blank background over the credits.

For the ECP squeeze, making credits slightly easier to read?

It has Joe Swash in it, which is more than enough of a reason to avoid it at all costs.

I agree with comments about the itv2 show. I have enjoyed watching the spin off show periodically during the series run, but it lacks a proper presenter. The best era was Laura Whitmore with Joe Swash and Rob Beckett, Laura was capable enough to keep the show running and doing a few bits of light chatter that wasn’t chaotic but you had the comedian in Rob to make fun of everything and then Joe to be the former camp mate/ bit of clown as such but Laura still kept the show moving. Caroline Flack with Joe and Russell Kane was a decent era too. But since they renamed the show, and Joe was paired with Chris Ramsey, Vicky Pattison, Stacey Solomon and then now Joel and Scarlett it’s gone down hill.

And possibly the dead hand of accountancy too - a plain black BG is cheaper in cost than pretty much every other BG.

I agree that it's boring though.

BGMT really warrants the credits over the live studio shot as they usually have a singer at the end to play them out.

Interesting. Pardon my ignorance but can I ask how so? (I'm not "in the business" so I don't know how this works).

In other words, why does a black background cost more than keying it onto a live background? I'm assuming that's pretty standard equipment to have in a gallery?

Cost less, you mean. And I'm not "in the business" either. Wink

Well, *one* plain colour - and one that some people argue isn't a colour at all - with no effects or anything...

Standard template is free.

Designing something non standard, possibly having to get it signed off by the commissioner and or pres (in case it breaks ecp layouts) has a cost in terms of time at the very least.
