Just rewatching Gavin and Stacey Series 2 and it has the episode where Mick's interviewed on the news. Noticed a lot of differences with the norm.
First of all, the bulletins is introduced with the Hippos ident! OK it was probably the most famous ident from the era, but I highly doubt it ever introduced a news bulletin.
The bulletin starts with George Alagiah stating "Good Evening and Welcome to the Six O'Clock News", before the headlines, the opposite way round.
Tbf, the episode aired only a couple of weeks before the relaunch that saw the bulletins renamed "News at Six etc" the rebranding of News 24 as the News Channel, and the new studio. Could it have been so the bulletin didn't seem dated so soon by making it non generic of a certain era?
