Are daytime announcements for ITV1 still pre-recorded? Watching Tipping Point and they mentioned 4 players in "All New" Tipping Point, despite it only being 3 players now. I know it's a minor difference but it annoyed me.

Daytime has been pre-recorded for quite a while now. The announcer on duty from the previous night, pre-records the daytime links for the next day.

So we can only expect very generic apologies - if anything at all - in the case of breakdowns?

As for the idents, as nice as many of them are, I, like others, hope they add to the set over time. I remember reading (perhaps on here) that in the summer footage of a bride was being filmed in Blackpool for an ITV ident. We’ve seen nothing like that, so if the original report was accurate, perhaps this ident is in the pipeline for the future, or it may have been scrapped/replaced.
