ITV Discussion Thread

If you are desperate to see it, you can still see the logo in Ireland!

Not sure why its been kept there!

In Ireland they sell ad's on behalf of the cinema (you know before a film starts), great intro to them aswell.

I wonder if ITV will make a full series of the donkey naming bit in today's Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Take Away. They could call it Donkey Identity. No, All-Star Donkey Identity. It was 10 minutes of great television tonight, and probably quite cheap too.


Oh yeah, and there is no 'Grab the Ads' next week but they are taking calls for two weeks time. Anyone know why? Pre-recorded show?

Wonkey Donkey!


If the calls are taken in advance though they'd be able to pre-record them surely.

He went mental at the kids when doing that on SMTV live! I wonder if he will shout and shoot them down,

This Michael Jackson advert didn't happen during either Dancing on Ice show in the Meridian region. Did it happen in any other region?

We did get some interesting Dulux adverts during the breaks in the first Dancing on Ice show. It was done in the style of a home makeover show presented by Claire Sweeney and Craig Phillips. Their challenge was to decorate a home before the end of Dancing on Ice. Although the advert wasn't live (nor did it pretend to be) it did mention Dancing on Ice by name, so this advert probably won't be shown again unless they put it on during next weeks Dancing on Ice as well.

During the last break in the first show it was revealed that they manage to decorate the whole home before the end of the show and it cost just over 100

To be fair, those who currently can't get Freeview probably only do have 4 analogue channels, as most relay transmitters have never carried Five or DTT. The article also talks about 20 Freeview services... which would tie in with the cut-down Freeview service coming to the relays. Sounds to me like the article is just a bit unclear and confused, rather than anything sinister.

I wouldn't call it interesting - although this new product they call "paint" might just take off. That living room was hideous though.

And on that theme, the verdict on product placement is expected this week:

Hopefully the viewer is put first and they say no. Surely now more than ever if they were to permit product placement any money advertisers spent on it would come from their TV advertising budget anyway.

The Jacko advert went out on LWT - it was tedious.

(it was only ever meant to go out in London - think someone got a bit carried away with the promotion for it!)

You can't beat Pearl & Dean - now THAT tune signals the start of a film! ba-ba-ba-ba-ba ba ba ba BAH!

Curiously, it is owned by ITV's current foe............STV.

saying that there are trying to sell it! but not getting anywhere!

AND STILL Goldern balls is getting made why? that cost to much money to make! and its day time!
