Having seen plenty of showings of the Challenge trailer for Through The Keyhole on Sky Mix, as it seems to be the standard filler promo for Freeview, one thing that stood out for me from it is that they've overlaid a tiny, barely legible in SD credit saying (c) YTV LTD 1989.
You only tend to see that sort of thing done on programme promos when expensive premium content is involved (big US dramas, Formula One etc) where it's clearly something dictated by obsessively paranoid rights holders. So it seems a bit odd they've included it on some near 35 year old repeats of this. And then stuck with the original company name rather than it being updated to show the modern holder name they'll have on all the paperwork, presumably still ITV Studios this week.
