Celebrity manhunt: that sound like a show where celebrities go on the run in the UK and the public have to 'hunt them down'. Do we get to shoot them if we find them? If so I can think of a few 'celebrities' who should be on that show. Laughing

Hewland International the makers of the Channel 4 gameshow 'Wanted' would be very interested legally speaking if a format like that turned up on ITV...

Where about on ITV's website do they mention these shows.

A friend of mine said to me today that she was walking through Leicester Sq Tuesday morning and saw at the 'BIG' Odeon that there was all these ITV banners and signs advertising Autumn Launch.

She said she hung around for ten mins but never saw anyone but she said there was loads of ITV adverts about. There were also quite a few people hanging around outside.

Does anyone know any more?

It was a private, invitation-only event happening inside the Odeon.

..and bankrupcty, fraud, fostering, surrogacy, drug use, alcohol culture, interviews with policitians, adoption, paedohilia on the internet, celebrity 'trials', traffic chaos...

I'd say they were all important social issues!

Edit: Oooh, that was my 100th post.

It's still all very tabloid isn't it? And there's next to nothing covered outside the UK. Considering it's ITV's most prominent current affairs programme, it's a shame it's become more of a dumbed down consumer show.
