IIRC the "TT production for C3NE" appeared on the first couple of episodes of the 1996 series of Chain Letters, networked and with the copyright date attached. Which must have seemed completely bizarre outside the region!

According to a comment on transdiffusion.org  the C3NE branding was on a billboard in London somewhere.


Very strange, the whole C3NE thing was in hindsight.

IIRC, when Tyne Tees became Channel 3 North East on 2nd September 1996, there are actually three versions of the C3NE endcap. The one with the "3" and the words "A Tyne Tees Television Production/Programme/Presentation for Channel 3 North East" appears on local shows (sometimes with a copyright notice below the "3"), whilst the one with the words "TYNE TEES" in gold and the words "A Tyne Tees Television Production/Programme/Presentation for ITV" and with the 1989 ITV logo appears on networked shows such as Quayside, the Catherine Cookson dramas and The Essential Guide to Parties, among others (sometimes with a copyright notice appearing either below the words "TYNE TEES" or the 1989 ITV logo) and one with the figure "3"s in the background and a later version without from 1997.

The 1996 Tyne Tees endcap from the "Channel 3" era also appears on UK VHS releases of The Wingless Bird and Round Tower from VCI as well.

Does the 1996 C3NE era Tyne Tees endcap also appear on DVD releases of Catherine Cookson dramas or not?
