Granada Weather

A short lived sponsorship from Direct Car Finance.... bearing an uncanny resemblance to a Fawlty Towers episode.

The ending to the Direct Car Finance sponsorship... and the guy has a nice new car.

An out-of-vision forecast from Granada. Covering the region for Christmas Day 2001, although none of the graphics are particularly festive.

Sponsored by United Utilities. The sponsorship ads show areas around the house, each accompanied by a key word - in this case in the bath and 'Sanctuary'.

The ending to 'Bath'.

A fishbowl, with the word 'House' this time.

The Ending for 'Fish'.

A shower represents 'Alarm Clock'. Yes, they are getting stranger!

And the accompanying ending to 'Shower'.

Jon Mitchell provides Granada's Weather forecast invision in 2002, with the region by now sharing the same generic GMG weather graphics as well as just Yorkshire's presenters.

Another shower from a later batch of United Utilities sponsorship ads. This time, the steam forms shapes on the glass.

The ending to the above shower clip.

A kettle with steam coming out (as usually happens with kettles!) features in the ident this time

The ending to 'Kettle'.

It's that blasted shower again, only this time the steam forms a picture of a kite to symbolise windy weather.

The end to Shower/Kite.
