ITV Programming Thread

Caught this purely by chance into the third part of The Chase (took photo on phone, sorry for quality)


Closely followed five seconds later by this for only literally a few frames, which I couldn't get a standalone shot of on the Sky Box, so wound it back, played it in slow motion, recorded a quick video on the phone and took a snapshot:


This was during the "Central News at 6" promo thing that occurs most often prior to the third part of the 5pm programme.

Central News obviously use very vague nondescript VT clocks then.

Just caught up with ITV2's Glitchy, which is basically half an hour of mock trailers for shows which are actually probably better than what ITV2 is showing anyway. Alot of recreations of branding from across the channels - their BBC1/3 efforts are a bit poor, but the C4 one is spot on - just a week out of date!

Yeah a couple of C4 ones, and the recreation for the Watch trailer was pretty good.

I didn't think the BBC ones were that bad - given how they used the C4 font I'm wondering if they deliberately got the BBC logo wrong just to err on the side of caution.

ITV just ran a "Later on This Morning" promo advertising today's programme... at 1pm.

If you seen X factor last night you would of seen Simon cowell being a jerk at # 6 chair challenge

Is it half term?

Judging by the traffic this morning, yes.

It depends my school and other schools aren't yet (we're next week)

Same here in South London, schools are still open.

It doesn't depend, unless you're talking about a particular school, which we're not. Just because you're still in lessons doesn't mean it isn't half term as far as anyone over the age of 16 is concerned, because plenty of kids are off school and having trouble finding anything constructive to do.

Depends on where you are and what sort of school you go to.

Most state run schools in England & Wales follow the "traditional" pattern - ie all of August off, a week at the end of October, two weeks at Christmas, a week in February and two weeks at Easter. Academies tend to set their own schedule which often falls in line with what the state schools are doing anyway. Independent/boarding schools pretty much do what they like.

Scotland is unique as their school year starts in mid August but finishes in June.
