Just thought i would mention this, in order to advertise the showing of the Star Wars Trilogy. Sky have got mock versions of Sky Travel and Sky News which use a Star Wars font and re-creations of the graphics.

I will try get some examples to put here...

Sounds very interesting.

On a star wars note, they're playing all 6 episodes out, but why did they start with Episode 4? Surely (even though out of date of release order), it would have made more sense to screen eps 1-6 in order.

It would ruin the twist of Episode 5, for one thing.

I've been trying to capture the two for a while but keep missing them (I really need to get Sky+). I could be wrong but I think the Sky News one is hardly shown since the Sky Travel one came into broadcast.

That's a good point. But now it's making me wonder why on earth they were made in the way that they were in the first place. Anyway, those mock programmes do seem well produced, I do remember seeing that Sky Travel one now, but what does the Sky News one look like?
