Why are you asking here? Have you tried the BBC's website?

How shoddy is that ITV extra time graphic? Shocked All they have to do is shove an 'ET' onto the end of the scorebar, looks like the one they have at the moment was made in Paint!

Haha, that's exactly what I thought. The graphics for the line up (with the numbers on the pitch) remind me of a shoddy paint mock up every time. Poor show

Looks alright to me, fits in with the rest of the score bar. Aren't you over reacting a tad ?

And the reason for the News staying at 6.30/7.00 and Emmerdale staying at 10.00 becomes clear tonight. Although now with pens, they are going to have to change the schedule or run late all night

ITV have done right picking this match, I expect about 10 million people are currently watching

Laughing Well I'm not too bothered really, I care more about the football, but I thought it just looked a bit odd!

Fantastic match though.

Are they having a shorter than usual regional news and national news then or is the whole schedule put back 15 minutes ?

In the good old days they'd have put up a revised menu, at least a continuity announcement.

Personally if I was the ITV schedulers, I'd extend the regional news and ITV Evening News by a few mins, so Corrie starts about 25 minutes late. Pad out with trailers and then change the drama for an hour long one at 9pm (it's already changed from Foyle's War to Taggart so it wouldn't matter) so they are back on track at 10pm.

More likely though I expect we will be 20 minutes late all night with Emmerdale at 10.20 and ITV News at 10.50!

EPG updated ... all programmes running 10 minutes behind schedule

EPG in Wales showing :-

19:40 - Coronation St
20:50 - Taggart
22:20 - Emmerdale
22:50 - ITV News

Not too sure how the maths works out for all of that but it seems that Corrie did infact start at 19:50 which would then make sense!

Yep, same here - they've updated it again.

Can't believe Pearce has the live qtr final game tonight - he really is number 2 to Motson.
