Did you all see that cockup during Design Wars?

After Part 3 into the ads, the Design Wars bumper stayed on screen frozen for a while and then a vt clock for Part 4 came on, and stayed for about 15 secs.

Then the screen went black for quite a while, before a generic 'ITV1' logo popped up. 5 secs later a bit of music started to be played, but it only just started when we rejoined Design Wars for part 4

I would have, but I turned off after 5 minutes, more cheap DIY rubbish presented by god knows who!

Prime time, Saturday night, ITV1 were showing WHAT???

ANNO VO ECS "An d'nex Saddaday add nine on I-ya- dee Vee Wan a white flag of surrender".

Or a documentary perhaps - Coronation Street a thousand glorious years.

Surely ITV1 must know that no-one has an interest in design programmes at peak time on a Saturday evening?

When the hell are they going to get it into the thick skulls that all the audience wants is to be entertained.

Next week on ITV1 - Watching Paint Dry with Tara & Mark Double-Barreled . Rolling Eyes

I thought the biggest cock-up was ITV1 broadcasting that bilge in Saturday evening peak-time in the first place.... Shocked
