ITV Christmas Entertainment is as ever being sponsored by Rennie.

Unusually, the S Club 7 Special was sponsored this morning, as it was part of CITV, They had to reduce down the credits, and then bring them back up again.

Wanted.com on CITV, Any views on this?

To prove Yorkshire are still dedicated to their regional programming, Remember I said there were only 2 Non-News regional programmes on YTV this Christmas..
Well Calendar News Review/Sports Review of the Year were advertised...Straight after Coronation Street on Christmas Day!

Anyone else any Miscellaneous points, that don't fit in anywhere else?

Did anyone see a strange animation at the start of the boxing day itv national weather?

It featured Sian LLoyd blowing stars out of her hand and then Martyn Lewis (?) in a dark cloak looking like he should be on some dodgy heath somewhere......... - very bizarre then Sian walks on and done the waeather as normal without mentioning what had just previously been shown!

Oh how i laughed! It nearly got rid of my constipation!

hmm back to rennie again........

Yep the ITV National Weather always do something special like this every Xmas.

One thing leading from this, Has Jon Hammond left the ITV National weather? Anyone seen him lately?

Yes. if I'd brought someone a present in good will hoping they liked it then turned this on and found out they didnt want it and were getting rid of it then I would be deeply hurt. Its really a nasty, mean programme to put on.

That bijou clippette thing has been on the front of the ITV Weather for a few days now. I'm pretty sure I saw it for the first time round about last Friday.

I have to say it looks FAR more appropriate for Halloween than Christmas and New Year though.

Anybody else get SEVERELY annoyed by that loud ringing phone in one of the ITV Weather introductions?

Yes, but that Snow/Office one is very good

I'm not missing the old ones at all!
