I guess it's potentially fairly expensive to repeat with the size of the cast royalties etc. When Big Centre bought the rights to Crossroads I know some former cast members were publicly unhappy about it.

I am surprised they haven't ever done more Eastenders Revealed type of programmes piecing together major stories etc.


Watch an old Heartbeat, and you get a full story in an episode with a beginning, middle and end.

Watch an old Corrie, and you get a random episode half way through a load of storylines. Probably too big a commitment to watch besides those who would just watch one to see how young the characters look.

Has there been any reference to the dreadful logo yet?

Looks convoluted and out of place with the rest of the ITV channel family, judging by my initial impressions.

Where did you find the logo?

There's no way that can be the logo. Impossible.

But then again... 'BBC One 2017'....

There's a chance then.

Ah. Thanks.
The logo just looks weird upon first sight.

What could have been the event poster...don't have any hard feelings towards ITV though...

Meanwhile - boxing fans are livid on Twitter over the price, for the same reasons just like the first announcement.

Are we sure someone hasn't rotated it 90°?

Would actually make a nice DOG rotated, with the BOX OFFICE running down the side of the screen.

Either way, I don't think it's worth going all oneness over - ITV Box Office is doomed to failure judging by speaking to anyone I know that is into boxing.

Hoping Eubank is knocked out in the first round by the Aussie, just ending ITV's flagship deal in one knock out blow.

If the entire card was on ITV Box Office £12.95 wouldn't be unreasonable, but as the undercard is FTA on ITV4 it's a hefty price for just the one fight, especially when the flagship star is only really a star in his own head.
