Eh? What ya talking about NF? This programme is regional, shown across the Granada stations only. It's common practice to include at least one other name on the copyright, in order for it to qualify as a regional programme in the other regions. I know that TT is screwed just now, but it's not that bad. This was a TT production, with some input from LWT. Just one of those things. Like "Slam XXL"; that's a TT programme, but YTV's name is present as well so it qualifies as one hour of local stuff for Yorkshire. But it's 100% made by Tyne Tees.

Ironically, TT seems the only station left in the Granada Group making most of it's programmes itself... Who'd have thought we'd be saying *that* in 1995?!?!?

According to B&Q the shows sponsors the programme is to be shown on United'd channels aswell at a later date as they are paying £1million pounds to sponsor it.

though as you say it is ironic that Tyne Tees seem to be making most of these so-called 'regional shows', that then seem to be shown across the other Granada stations

Decimated means to kill one-in-ten. Sounds like the work of Suii again.

one in ten, downplays how many Tyne Tees staff were axed by YTV!

There were 650 staff employed by Tyne Tees in 1986. This had already been cut by TT to around 500 before the YTV takeover, now there are fewer than 150, and that includes 30 at Billingham. I'm told it's rather quiet in City Road these days...

BTW The Real DIY Show was on Granada Breeze earlier tonight. I caught the end credits, and even though 90% of the crew were known (to me) Tyne Tees staff, and it was directed by Jane Bolesworth and produced by Shiela Matheson, it was credited as an LWT production only! Bloody effing scandalous, that.

That is a disgrace. The episode shown last week on TTTV had a Tyne Tees production slide, are they taking it in turn?
