They wouldn't axe Neighbours if they have any sense. As someone said, it beats ITV (all that matters to BBC 1) and also 4 and 5, with only BBC 2 often beating it with the Weakest Link.
If you don't like a program it doesn't need to be axed. I hate Emmerdale, but that won't be axed, so there we go.
I've been wondering how this would work. Until now (AFAIK) promos for ECPs have always been designed only for the channel they're broadcasting on. Hence, EE/Casualty/Holby etc have credits on the right hand side, left aligned. How will it work if they want to publicise what's next on BBC Two or even what's coming up from 7pm on BBC Three? Will the white background/red font design still be included, albeit with a different channel logo?
And I wonder what they're going to do with the season finale where the character of Nina sung her song over the credits? 36secs and a quick fade out?!
Also, nice to see the BBC Menu lineup getting more of a showing...

I've seen the season finale and it's a really nice credit sequence with her singing, it would be a shame for that to be ruined for uk viewers because of the BBC's policy, could'nt they just let it go out full length with just maybe the sponsors missed out.
Just wondering what u mean by 'the sponsors'. Was also wondering if the Channel Ten production caption is shown over there or if the BBC chops it off with its ECP?

Channel Ten used to put their logo over the end part of the end music - the last few beats of the (already shortened) music were chopped off for UK showings to get rid of it.
Last year though the logo actually had its own sting and appeared independently after the end music. I don't know the plan for 2003.

The sponsors by the way are the companies that are used by Grundy and then credited in the end titles in return. Airlines and hotels tend to get full screen credits - they've included Ansett ailrlines, Australian Airlines, Qantas, Travelodge and Mercure Hotels over the years. While other companies, like clothing suppliers, just get a line in the credits. In early episodes on the BBC the one line credits were left in, while the full screen ones were removed. Now all are removed.
