On ITV 3 tonight at 9 there is a programme called Those Were The Days celebrating 50 yrs of ITV in the Granada region.It is repeated at 12.15 am on ITV 3 if you miss it .Very Happy


I really don't think it is, Radio Times have got it confused with a regional prog from 2005 of the same name. This is just about big news events seen through the eyes of those who were there, it's even made by an independent.

Well that should help cover the cost of the MP's expenses bill.


Six apologies to be broadcast, presumably related to the individual shows. Ant and Dec though need to take some responsibility for SNT - they can't cop a £3m fine and just use the excuse they knew nothing about it. As executive producers the buck stops with them.

And Catherine Tate actually won The British Comedy Award in 2005 and NOT Ant & Dec!!

This is a disgrace! ITV should publicly give her the award at the next Comedy Awards.

Ridiculous.

Thankfully though last year's X Factor final has been cleared - that always was a complete non-scandal, but then again, you can never be sure can you.

An update on the British Comedy Awards sandal from Media Guardian. Ant & Dec are to return their prize.

Which conveniently makes Ant and Dec out to be the victims now of all this rather than the villains.

Ant & Dec can scream ignorance here but how could they not know what was happening on their own shows?

Thats even lower than conning viewers out of a chance of winning!

Many smaller companies would have had their licences revoked, or been fined out of existence for such systematic and repeated corruption and fraud.

I feel it is high time that the ITV contracts were re-advertised. The company has become far too arrogant -- how convenient that whenever these things happen, some small station like Channel is handed the hot coal. Despicable.

Any person who phones in to any future ITV promotion is an idiot as far as I am concerned.

Channel do the legal compliance for quite a lot of programmes on ITV that are made by independant production companies. They must have quite a niche set up as on the face of it it does seem strange
