ITV's 60th Birthday

They'll probably forget the 2nd (and better) Surprise Surprise theme

They'll probably forget most of Ray Monk's output yet he and David Pringle created some of the best ITV light entertainment themes.

Ray, did take your pick, YBF and Stars in yours eyes. David did Alot of STV work along with Wheel of fortune and This morning.

A documentary called Here is the News is being shown on ITV from next Tuesday, the 22nd of September, at 10:40pm. It is about the creation of the ITN News brand over the past 60 years which includes the launch of News at Ten and Channel 4 News.

That will certainly be a good watch for next week including the doc covering the ITV Theme Tunes tomorrow night.

It's anniversary week next week, obviously a lot of shows will celebrate, but the biggest question is will there be a ident?

ITV60 Breakbumper spotted.

There was a funny moment from Alistair Stewart before the last break where he mentioned that he was on the train going to work to ITV; some passengers would go bong towards him and he said it gets to him every time he is on his way to work.

I thought that was hilarious though in fairness.

Very enjoyable, One has to wonder if there will be a commercial release of this chat.

Some heavy Harry Potter style copyright on the clips of Downton Abbey, had to be on screen throughout whenever they showed a clip not just at the start.

A nice run down memory lane and a lot better than what the usual haters were expecting.

That was a LOT better than expected. No celebrity talking heads, old TV at the top of the list, and acknowledgement of regional ITV!

And no.1 was...?
