Strangely though, Brookside didn't have EPG friendly credits or a Channel 4 ligo on their endcap until a few episodes into the 2002 revamp. They had a "next time" promo running on the left hand side of the screen and the credits scrolling on the right, and they had to squeeze the credits after the next time promo had finished to use an EPG.

A few episodes into the 2002 revamp they finally switched to running the next time promo before the credits and having the credits aligned for the EPG to be overlayed, TV Ark has the 14/11/02 edition and they'd done it by then, but the first few episodes still had non-EPG compliant credits.

Just looked, these two videos cover it:

Shows that the first 3 episodes of the revamp (the last episode of the first video and the first 2 of the second) still had non-ECP compliant credits (though the "next time" bit does run before the credits, not during them like in the pre-revamp episodes) and they had to squeeze them, it's from the 4th episode of the revamp where the credits finally become ECP compliant, and the Channel 4 (and Mersey TV "MTV" logo) first appear on the endcap.

The first 4 episodes in that video use the strange short lived "blue" Brookside titles- which were otherwise the same as the previous set apart from being filmised and blue rather than black.
