ITV's six new idents

Two things: firstly - they did ask for members of the public with regional accents, perhaps because it's more convenient for the agency have people come to them, rather than scouring all corners of the country. Which brings me to the second point, Northern Ireland has UTV with its own presentation.*


*STV and UTV do see ITV's presentation at times, eg overnight for UTV and during ITV Breakfast hours for UTV and STV.

Can someone reassure me all the Carlton people have left the building? We could do without: "This is Christmas television for Britain" or something like that...

Well it's the 22nd October now!

Has anyone else noticed how some of the Autumn idents like back to some of the original Winter idents?

Like these;

Don't forget pugwash and wet dog

I like this latest set. I just think they should use all the generic ones all year round like why can't we have pugwash, bowling, bingo, funfair and see-saw now? Also the idents seem to appear by time now. Wet dog is always on in to the chase and train in to the this morning news update.

Very minor.....but I've noticed the tiny 'HD' from the ITV HD DOG seems to have been ditched.

It's back now, so I'm assuming it was some sort of playout mistake.

We seem to be quite a way off HD becoming the norm. How long did channels add "Colour" to their idents for?

Surely Thames were the longest, although not on their ident as such, their endcap had the 'Colour Production' legend until 1989.

I noticed a lack of HD on the DOG this afternoon during Star Wars, having said that it didn't look HD and wasn't flagged as HD on the EPG.
