I've just put out a trail for 'Parkinson - 30th anniversary' programme, and the whole thing has been cut like a news opening sequence.

It starts with a 5 to 0 countdown using domestic opening titles music. Mike Embley in the Elstree studio reads a story using clips from old Parky programmes as illustration, with pictures in the plasma too.

My guess is someone in Creative Services getting quite excited about making their own news programme!

By the lack of replies, people must assume that no-one that has read the thread can capture it.

Asking the same question twice won't make any difference.

Cheers, Asa

hehehehe! It's great to play when your mom or dad walks past! They think he really is missing! hehehehe!

By the way: I have SKY DIGITAL - Can I get BBC PRIME on that?

No, because it's a BBC Worldwide channel (like BBC World) and it's encrypted.

Not a chance. It is a subscription channel for Europe, the Middle East and sub-Saharh Africa. It's normally distributed via cable, or if you want to receive by satellite, you need a special card.

BBC Worldwide are quite ruthless about who can view it. From what I understand, if anyone in the UK is found to have a card then it is terminated immediately. There was even a celebrity who asked if he could receive it (no names mentioned), but was turned down.
