Been reading the last few pages and have a couple of topics I want to ask about.
1) Years ago in Malaysia I saw a couple of episodes of Mr Bean that had the Thames skyline frontcaps, even though they were using the blue triangle endcap. (I remember one episode was the one where he thumps the Queen Mother, I can't remember what the other one was.) Years ago I remember someone on TV Ark's old forum saying that international copies still had frontcaps after the practice was abandonned domestically.
a) Was Thames sticking its frontcap on Mr Bean only, or were all programmes frontcapped?
b) Was Thames the only company sticking its frontcap on international copies or did other ITV regions do this as well?
c) If the answer to the other ITV regions is yes, when did they stop?
2) I remember during CITV's Old Skool Weekend "Mike and Angelo" and "Sooty" carried Thames frontcaps, but frontcaps were abandonned on CITV. Were those 2 programmes shown outside of CITV as well like Supergran?
