DOGs on BBC FOUR

The debate about DOGs will run and run but tonight I've been watching
the Cream/Clapton stuff and thankfully the Reunion Concert from the
Hall of Albert along with two other related programmes was DOG free
while the Clapton/Robert Johnson documentary had the usual BBC FOUR
DOG.

I can't help but wonder why.

I didn't see the programme myself but I guess it means someone in the
BBC thought it was a more down market production.

I notice that the classic feature films shown recently are free of the
DOG, however the continuity announcer is still instructed to announce
the trail for the next programme over the end credits however. A
small price to pay to protect copyright and have a DOG free picture.

It must mean someone in BBC4 has some sense of decent standards,
though I was beginning to wonder.

Yes, I noticed the same thing and wondered if they had come to their
senses at last, only to be disappointed when it reappeared.

The DOG on More4 is interesting. I suspect it has the same contrast as
the BBC DOGs, but being darker than the background image, instead of
lighter, it seems much less intrusive. Probably more plasma friendly
too. ;-)

Less intrusive, maybe.

Still intrusive? You decide: http://www.usenetz.clara.net/more4.jpg

Bad DOG!

There is no doubt it is still intrusive and I would prefer to see these
things banned completely from UK TV. However even though it is quite
large, the polarity seems to make it less intrusive than the
conventional white DOGs of the same contrast.
