ITV Programming Thread

I don’t think that white background would exactly work. They should use the black varient of the ident background from the 2013 package with white text. Or I did like what they did with Broadchurch...

The text on the Vera promo is a perfect size but they had all the social media icons next to it.

Unless it's been stated before, why are they using a larger font size on all their promo's now?

The font size on promos currently seems to be a bit all over the place. I understand it goes smaller when they have the ITV Hub stuff on the right but I've seen a few promos which have font in-between the two regular used sizes ( hope that made sense)
I do feel this in-between size looked a lot better than when they use the large don't which fills the screen, especially on a large TV.

Their seems to be some sound problems on the NTA's with a really noticeable echo sounds in the arena and on VT’s.

Update: .. not getting any better!

Most of the live TV shows that come from the O2 usually sound very echoey and generally has poor sound quality. I don't think the arena is really designed for TV shows.

I note anew soundtrack to the awards this year compared to recent years. Still not as good as the theme used during Trevor McDonald's tenure as host.

It really isn’t going good tonight. They keep going to the wrong people during the nomination read outs.

Everything was better during Trevor McDonald's tenure.

Apart from the hosting.

Funnily enough someone has uploaded quite a chunk of the 2005 NTAs on YouTube and it is like night and day compared to the recent era, there was a slight bit of prestige to the event with Sir Trevor at the helm and they actually just got on with it!

They really could do with a rule of letting somebody else have a chance after winning so many years as once again the usual suspects doninated, namely Ant and Dec - I missed part of it, did Holly and Phil really each get individual nominations in one category too?!

The Bruce Forsyth award was a nice touch, though I doubt he sat down every week to watch Celebrity Juice!

To be fair to Holly and Phil, they do present solo stuff unlike Ant&Dec so it's not unusual that they'd get nominated separately.

I do agree with the idea if you win maybe 3 in a row, you can't be nominated for next year's NTAs to let others have a chance of being nominated or winning

But then you get someone who only wins because someone was excluded.

You didn’t have this rule in anything else, imagine if it was used in the world of sport.

Exactly - it's annoying Ant and Dec win every year but it is deserved. Barrymore similarly dominated the award in the 90s.
