Actually ITV do some very good digital text services which operate for specific programmes as well. They did text for The Brit Awards, The Classical Brits (last night), Election Text (during ITV News bulletins) also Champions League and Survivor have had text services. This is probably the way to go, text services for specific programmes.

Presumably you refer to Sky and cable ? square eyes, ITV as such don't produce the interactive programming - Carlton Active do.

Well whoever does it, it's very good. If it's Carlton Active, then what happened to the Carlton Cinema text ? That was a good service too.
