There is a new drama series Sweet Medicine - replacement to Peak Practice. I think I read its a 10 part drama which will screen from next Thursday and its set in Derbyshire.

Don't forget Rosemary & Thyme, which appears to be going out on Sundays & Fridays, with Felicity Kendal and Pam Ferris. Looks a bit Murder She Wrote-esque.

Yes I read about that too but forgot to mention it - I dont think i'll watch that as it isnt really my thing.

I might watch Sweet Medicine, as I enjoyed Peak Practice and its a simular series to that as its a replacement for it - I still dont know why Peak Practice ended on such a cliffhanger which was never resolved.

Can u please refresh my memory. How did Peak Practice end?

Its a bit like 24. They had a cliffhanger at the end of the last hour; surely the last episode is supposed to be a happy, 'well done' occasion?

Was Peak Practice axed whilst the last series was being recorded? If not, they may have presumed that another series would follow.

Rosemary & Thyme looks interesting. I'll have to watch it out of interest.

They have another programme later on in the season with Penelope Keith and June Brown. Im sure this was a murder programme too; though I may be wrong!

Sweet Medicine has that bloke (as the main character) that always reminds me of newsreader Chris Rogers.

Yeh, that looks really good. It's meant to be a take on Thelma Louise, Penelope Keith plays a posh woman and June Brown her housekeeper. They go on the run thinking they've killed a burgler.

You'd better watch out. That could be seen as libellous...

The final episode ended with Claire and Alex falling over a cliff and Tom being shot. We have no idea whether any of them lived but I think its unlikely Claire/Alex did.

Any news on good old Scottish & Grampian TV? Will they get any new home made idents, or any of the new ITV1 idents with Scottish/Grampian logo's instead?

Lets hope we have some new idents for Wales - as well as the Sian Lloyd one we need a new one with Lucy and Jonathan as Lucy has a different hair style now. Also one of Juliet Piper Justina SImpson and Tara Eugene, and one of Arfon Haines Davies, and one with the sports presenters.

I doubt will will get any though

With all this talk of new idents, does any one remember if these 2 old ones were ever on ITV1, and if so when as I have never seen them before?

Are there any other celebs who made an ident, but it has not been seen yet?

Well the above one is Londons Burning which ended last summer before the ITV revamp so no I dont think that was used.

It makes you wonder why ITV make them, then dont bother using them. Have they got Money to burn?
