So, you watched ITV in the Face and still want more of the history of the "3" button on the remote control? Cuh. Typical. Well, alright, how's this for a 70th anniversary programme: a two-hour, three part documentary on the three major flashpoints of its history: the times when the regulators looked at the network and decided who lived and who died. The franchise rounds, from the early job interview format to the undignified financial free-for-all auction that paid no mind whatsoever to the idea of quality television and ultimately ended the ITV network forever. Epic, exhaustive and so full of facts that you'll be surprised on at least one occasion, or your money back. Not that you spent any.
