Well, according to the schedules Liquid News was on BBC 1 at 11:55pm IIRC last night. Wonder why?

A special edition of Liquid News now airs every Thursday on BBC1 ... started last week.

Then again - it is summer.

Or rather it's a 30 minute trailer for BBC Choice?

Ha ha. I was being sarcastic!

I actually think it's a damned good programme which deserves more exposure

Agreed - Liquid News is an absolutely fantastic programme and I don't blame them for exposing the brand (60seconds / BBC One)

Trouble was (getting onto pres here) they showed so much of Skateboard ident last week that it fliped back to the start (as it does half way through) - I should have set the video as looking back, they would need to have given it a good introduction for non-digital viewers and Skateboard was a perfect ident.

Short Blackpool balloon last night for N24 although I'll let them off for wanting to go to the Belfast riots quicker (either that or the director wanted to go home early!)

Cheers, Asa

Liquid News is one of the best things on television; it's just a pity they're trying to make it as unwatchable as possible with BBC Choice's obsession with animated DOGs and trailer breaks. Both of which are absent from the BBC1 version, of course.

And talking of late night presentation, BBC1 South had a delayed schedule for some reason last night and were showing Film 2001 half an hour later than everyone else in place of Liquid News. So just before last night's Liquid News at 11.55 I flipped over to BBC1 South and I think I saw the St Michael's Mount ident flip back to the start; but I unfortunately only saw it for a split second, and didn't even see whether it had a 'South' caption on it. Now why didn't I have a video in for that?
