Have you read any of the other posts mate?????


Yes. Yours are particularly irritating though.

Not satisfied with embarrassing yourself in one thread, I see you're causing a stir in the BBC Newsline one as well.


Well it least its keeping the Northern Ireland threads alive and well and not dissapearing so that its not ITV1 threads that dominate.

OK guys... no need to argue, it's only UTV!

The Benevenagh ident in County L/Derry (very diplomatic UTV) also doesn't have any water in it.

And for the record, UTV showed that blue ident yesterday.

It's no better or worse than the pictures of weeds.

UTV is crap, number 435 of an increasingly regular series... we're now getting Harry Hill's TV Burp - a topical weekly tv show - timeshifted from last December.

Yes...noticed this last week when visiting my parents. I rarely allow UTV to pass through the tube on any TV set in this house.

Incidentally, whilst flicking through the channels last night, stumbled across a programme trailer on UTV which appeared to be in VHS quality - apart from the end board. There was an unusually excessive amount of colour bleed.

Can't be certain but think it was for something with Harrison Ford in it?

I noticed that too... it was for the film WHAT LIES BENEATH. Shockingly poor quality. Probably edited from an Xtravision (Blockbuster) master tape Shocked

That Kelly Car Giveaway trailer has just as bad picture quality.

To think, UTV could be investing money on producing a few decent new TV programmes rather than buying cars to flog constantly...

I thought I'd seen last week's episode of TV Burp shown on UTV before; the "Nail Bar" song, a sketch with Michelle McManus... so out of date Smile

It's the same for us here in ITV London land. I just thought it was my Sky box playing up.

Interesting that the ropey VHS quality of a trailer should come from the NPU...

Yet another example (not that we need it) that UTV is a pile of Cat poo!!

UTV Keep showing an Trailer for a new series of 'The Vault' and advertise it as 'Tuesday at 8:00 on UTV' then a few trailers later have 'Domestic Army' trailer and guess what that’s on 'Tuesday at 8:00 on UTV'

Well looking at all other regions Domestic Army is on Tuesday at 8:00 with the new 3rd series of 'The Vault' starting on May 11th at 8:00. Why are UTV showing the trailer TOO early?

Interesting that 'The Vault' has been moved from a Saturday Night Quiz to a weekly Tuesday at 8:00 quiz. Are ITV trying to make this show what Millionaire was a few years ago??

BTW, 'The Vault' will be on ITV1 (and UTV) every Tuesday from these dates.

Still thought it was better when Davina did it!!
