I hope the start bundling him in with Virgin Media when you subscribe.


Yeah I still have my ITV 'Sidekick' Monkey sat on my shelf over the telly. The Gadget Shop ones were nothing like, but the PG Tips ones seem to be a little bit better at least.

Wouldn't surprise me, as long as Red catches on, for them to do a similar promotion.

I do quite like the ECP, despite not being able to read the credits, I think the way they have implemented it is quite creative.

There is one thing I don't get, is Virgin 1 + 1 now called +Virgin 1 because that's what it looks like on the DOG.

That was the same before - the DOG has always had the + before the logo itself. I guess just because it's neater that way.

Virgin 1 seems to have moved their DOG to the far right of the screen, even for widescreen programmes but it now seems like it is stretched when in widescreen.

Still in top left for me.

My mistake should have said far left... but even that seems to have changed back to normal now. Must have been a mistake.
