I don't know if this has been mentioned yet. You've Been Framed has got a new remix of its theme tune seemingly inspired by the 1990s versions. In my opinion it is not as audibly interesting as the previous version used since 2003.


Good spot. I've just caught it on ITV Player, like you say it harks back to the 1990's tune, but as it still uses the space city theme it's got elements of bells and chimes in tr background similar to futurama.

Hosted by Stephen Mulhern, The Big Quiz: Coronation Street V Emmerdale is an epic showdown between the titans of the ITV1 soapworld, as they go head-to-head in a series of quiz-rounds and fun-filled challenges in a quest to be named Soap Champions 2011.

Sounds like a good little programme, but would have expected it between Christmas & new year. The only Christmas scheduled programmes on ITV that I know are Downton Abbey, and from what was said at the end of the series, Jonathan Ross was to come back with a Christmas special (presumebly to air on Christmas eve).

That's interesting - I never realised the BBC didn't show the pilot. I've just double checked and "The Murder of Sherlock Holmes" is being shown on Monday 5 and Tuesday 6 December. "Deadly Lady" then follows on Wednesday 7 December.


Then its really a treat for viewers, I remember the number of time BBC went back to S1 and there would also skip the Pilot. Good to hear ITV given it a bit of respect...


Hmmm, just checked DigiGuide again and it seems as though - for some bizarre reason - ITV is starting with Season 10 of Murder, She Wrote from a week tomorrow. I wonder why they've decided to miss the first nine seasons?

Not too sure if it's relevant, and I've not watched the vast majority of it, but former ITV CEO Charles Allen was on The Secret Millionaire on Sunday night....

Some problems on Tonight on ITV1. It may have been the network or my local transmitter as the weather conditions are pretty bad tonight, but the footage seemed to loop for a few seconds.

Nice to see someone who brought so little to a company certainly gained a lot from it.

Anyone noticed that at least once today ITV are trailing "The X Factor Final - Saturday & Sunday at 8." Yet it start's Sunday at 7:30. Rolling Eyes

Wow. Did you see that? At the start of the second episode of Coronation Street (maybe the first too) there was a new graphic next to the subtitles one, it was the letters AD in a speech bubble.

Like this...

I wonder whose benefit it is for. I expect Liverpool's VirginMediaPhil will be VERY interested in this development.

Audio Description. I thought channels usually didn't bother to mention that, so good move ITV.
