Another short straw for Philip Elsmore, in on Christmas morning to introduce a terrific line-up of entertainment! A new skyline is in place at the back of the set, but they've made a black vignetted frame to go in front of it, to match all their trailers and promos – examples below. It was very helpful of them to write 'Christmas' on it, just in case nobody realised what day it was.
