No, it's the one off the purple endboards. It is, after all, purple.


Yes but the promo DOG is the same?

Yes but it's still not specifically purple!!! http://web.ukonline.co.uk/tv.home/forum/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I've never seen the endcap of Crossroads appear on the left hand side, and I've never missed an episode, even the un-transmitted September 11th one.

This is off topic, but don't you think it's fishy of ITV to only re-commission the show for four months, knock Friday's episode off so Steve LeFevre can ablitterate our screens, and then when Sep 11th's episode went off air (for all the right reasons of course, don't get me wrong here) Network Centre simply allowed it to skip so nobody knew what was happening in the next episode.

Now if I'm right, Granada run the Network Centre don't they? Considering coverage of the start of the Afghanistan bombings ws interrupted for Coronation Street, don't you think there just might be a conspiracy going on if I'm right in saying NC is run by GMG?

Tell you what James, next time Bin Laden decides to bomb America I'll give him a ring and ask him to do it on a Saturday, I'm sure he'd oblige.

That be OK for you?

I had exactly the same misinterpretation of that at Not BBC, which is why I deferred over here...

Read the re-edited post.

Na, I doubt Granada runs the Network Centre, since the NC is in London, but I think all networked programmes are broadcast from London.

Those conspiracy theories are worthy of some of my excesses on this board in the past. I congratulate you Wink

Of course, I mean GMG rather than the individual channel Granada. And GMG and Carlton Communications hate each other. Network centre is also home to LWT, which just happens to be the default region (the replacement if another goes tits up) at weekends, doesn't it?

Ah yes, back to the topic this thread was supposed to be about!!!

AFAIK the Border one has yet to be implemented -- there is some debate about whether Border is getting a new logo.

The Anglia one can be seen at the end of their football programme on Sundays.
