Well didn't I tell you, it was a BORDER TELEVISION ident. A blue silent static caption. Just long enough to see it, had you blinked you'd have missed it. A bit stretched though, I thought.
Better they stretched the Border ident and the titles rather than crop them, IMO.
Now I see why the Julian Clary version flopped - while I like Julian Clary, his presenting style just didn't suit it and sullied people's memories of Mr & Mrs. If it's ever brought back, they need a presenter who can be respectful to the Alan Taylor and Derek Batey era but still give the show a modern and fresh feeling.
Ben Shephard's wife is good looking and quite funny talking about his bad habits.
I thought this week was boring, mainly because Mr and Mrs is a boring format IMHO. The graphics annoyed me too, they were the wrong way round most of the time (i.e the graphic on the right revealed what the contestant standing on the left gave as an answer).
I'm looking forward to next week. There will be three episodes of Bullseye on at the same time, each with a different host.
I suppose if you were watching last night/the repeats today on digital platforms, you could change the 16:9 picture and watch it on your set in 4:3, the way that nature intended...
I hadn't read any of the past two or three pages of this thread, prior to last night's broadcast of Mr & Mrs. Therefore, at the time of watching, I didn't know which ITV region had originally made Mrs & Mrs.
Imagine my shock at seeing a Border ident. I didn't think that Border had made anything at all for network
ever
. Was there anything else whatsoever that Border ever made for network, or just Mr & Mrs?
EDIT:
Come to think of it, I have vague recollections of an early-1990s(ish) Children's ITV series starring "The Krankies", ending with a Border production caption. Or did I just imagine it?
