Did you watch Prisoner in the Scottish ITV days?

This might be my favourite Scottish television ident though.




I remember it was used before Prisoner and a guy with a strong Scottish accent would proudly exclaim: And now on Scottish, Prisoner.

Those Idents bring back memories. We should get some from different regions across the UK that were used when introducing Prisoner, and get them on some of the dvds.

Would copyright come into that at all Stephen?

I'm not an expert, but I'd think they would be owned by STV. But seeing as they have dropped lots of ITV programs as they say they can't afford to buy them, If I was them, I'd be glad of some extras pennies.

Sounds like it's worth pursuing.

Yip, that was one of my ideas for extras on the DVDs.

But, unfortunately Shock are determined the UK release will be exaclty the same at the Australian release for some reason.

I don't know why they're not more flexable on that. Because there's lots the UK release could have, that the Aussie release doesn't.
