"The Census is here" ....just heard the Census advert and it has been updated again....and this time its our Julian telling us the Census is here (Gillian told us "its coming"). I believe this is the first we've heard of Julian since....well you know.
Lets hope between now and Census day on the 21st we hear more of the ex-UTV duo!!
Just heard Gillian Porter's voice over for the Census advert during the Evening News.
Its the first time since 2nd April last year I believe we've heard her!!! Great to see shes got work again since ITV did the dirty on her and Julian.

I noticed that in the introduction to the latest episode of Eamonn Mallie: Face to Face with on Thursday, the announcer said "Now here on ITV..."
Previously, from what I've seen of regional announcements recently (since local continuity was axed), they've tended to avoid references to the channel name, and usually just said things like "Now it's...", and this is the first time I've heard a verbal reference to ITV in a regional announcement.

Great continuity again from London! 
Tonights UTV Life Music Special introduced as UTV Live Music Special.
I'm now expecting Paul and Rose to pop up on the news set singing a cover of a B*Witched song!

Logically you could say it's deliberate and they're easing in the ITV name, but announcements for UTV are so inaccurate and poor that's it's probably just another sloppy link.

And for the final day here at TV Forum, lets revisit the final ever UTV ident and announcement.
Very optimistic of Gillian here...let's hope her words come true one day.
I for one am never giving up hope.
