I'm surprised nobody mentioned that just before the 'JS:Panaorma Special' on Monday, BBC One HD was sans the usual pesky red information screen about switching to 101/1 etc during regional broadcasts (well, here in the South West).

I thought the silent rotating glass 'BBC Blocks' were a permanent replacement, in view of the imminent launch of the 'national versions' and end of analogue. Very Happy

Obviously I was wrong, as the red 'warning' returned at 06:27 on 23/10/12. Rolling Eyes

The 'Nations Clean' version of BBC One play out the spinning blocks in place of junctions. At the end of a programme, it'll hold on the last item for three seconds after the end time (often the endcap or a fade to black), then cut up the spinning blocks until three seconds before the next programme - which will normally be black, but not always.

The 'blocks' have just been explained elsewhere on here . . . Wink
Meh! Laughing

Apart from the fact this train wrek has plenty of steam to keep going until next years, I just wonder. This is the first time in YEARS ITV has had a proper hard hitting ( compared to last few years) documentary, which has been praised by many. Could this be the turning point where ITV might return to proper hard hitting docs and current affairs?

Do you get paid every time you use inverted commas?

Have you considered finding a less negative way of experiencing a release of endorphins than making pointless comments which contribute nothing to this board?

Yes. Sometimes I like to count how many times you edit your posts to shoehorn in more needless formatting.

I'm surprised they haven't repeated the original - with the News at Ten being 15 minutes early tomorrow it might have made more sense to give it a repeat outing tomorrow than air an original episode considering the follow up is next week.

I doubt that would be wise - it has been overtaken by events somewhat.
