ISTR Tony Currie mentioned in the blue place that STV had copies of each company's endcap in case they needed to ditch out of a programme early. It had the benefit of making it look to the viewer like it was that company who cocked up their timings rather than STV

The way that the CITV DOG gets duplicated suggests Birmingham?
