Above left is a production slide as seen on Border Television. I was expecting to see a 'for ITV' appended to the end - I suspect it was not because it was not being shown on UTV as the same time. I presume Border bought it from UTV after it was made. Incidentally, it was from Jenny's Country Cooking. Right is a production slide as seen on UTV itself. This can still be seen after old programmes on the digital channel TV-YOU.
