!!Provides examples of:
* BritainIsOnlyLondon: {{Discussed}}. Harris starts off the episode by explaining that the UK is made up of a handful of major urban centres like London and Manchester where there's enough ambient wealth for an ITV franchise to become a major player, and then there are the places where wealth is something that happens to other people.
* BriefAccentImitation: Harris briefly does a more exaggerated version of his natural West Country accent when talking about the merger of the ITV West and South West regions.
* HeAlsoDid (InUniverse): Liberal and SDP leader David Steel was also a Non-Executive director of Border Television.
