Happy Christmas to U! Wink

Some new developments on UTV today. Firstly, we finally have the festive breakbumper:

Then, in line with the text on the breakbumper, all the idents have changed to read 'Happy Christmas to U' instead of 'It's all about U'. Here's a selection:

And finally, for some strange reason, Santa makes an appearance in some of the idents, appearing from behind the yellow bar, making a sssshh sign, winking, and then retreating back behind it!

After seeing that, I'm definately hoping that it's an ITV creation so that the rest of the ITV1 viewers can see it.

Well, that exact tree can be seen at the start of most (if not all) of the BBC's national and regional weather forecasts.
(Sorry if this has already been mentioned.)

I spotted one of the Santa idents this morning, I wonder if they will run up to Christmas Eve - and I wonder if we will get Julian giving out Santa Flashes that evening (if he is on duty, or he could pre-record them as he did in 2003).

When he was on UTV Life a few days ago he said he would be doing the Santa flashes again this year!

Good good.

I also spotted last night that UTV have replaced the end board on the Saturday trailer with white Arial Regular instead of the lovely gold Perpetua used on the ITV1 version Evil or Very Mad

Interesting, very interesting.

Not quite the same, but same style. The UTV one is many open circles, where the BBC one is one spiral. Very strange though, it must be the year of the skeleton tree.

It's a shame they don't tell us where the people's houses are.


They're probably all from somewhere just off the Ormeau Road that's why!


I suppose out of nosiness I want to know if any of them are in the Craigavon area... so I can avoid them when I'm back home Wink



Saw one of the houses from the idents tonight, it's about 3 doors down from Havelock House!!

The Christmas in-vision continuity backdrop had its debut tonight:

Julian's got really old looking all of a sudden, or maybe it's the lighting in the CTA studio...

I've said it before, but I do hope that UTV's festive IVC backdrop isn't just used when Julian is on duty.
