ITV has hit a mighty milestone - first launched on September 22, 1955, the home of The X Factor, Downton Abbey and more is 60 years old today.
In its six decades, ITV has produced some of the biggest, best and most memorable TV shows in British broadcasting history.
But while everyone else is talking up Gladiators, Coronation Street and Blind Date, we wanted to take this opportunity to celebrate a few of the channel's less celebrated gems.
1. The Krypton Factor (1977-1995)
"Television's Toughest Quiz!" boomed the announcer back when the show launched in 1977. And even almost forty years later, nothing has quite matched Granada's brutal search for a UK superperson since.
Resembling a cross between a byzantine parlour game and a Soviet-era punishment for shoplifting, each week saw four more contestants subjected to a variety of cruel and unusual tests – from terrifying memory tests to landing a Boeing 747 (albeit on a simulator).
But worst of all?...

Cult classic Terrahawks is set to return all over again - with a new eight-part audio series.
Anderson Entertainment has struck a deal with Big Finish to produce a second run of adventures based on the '80s series.
Big Finish - best known for its Doctor Who audio range - released its first Terrahawks box set, featuring actors from the original series, earlier this month.
"The release of a box set of the new Terrahawks audio series on April 3 has done so well, and has generated so much excitement, that we've been commissioned to produce a second series," said Jamie Anderson, managing director of Anderson Entertainment - and son of the late Gerry Anderson.
Nicholas Briggs, executive producer of Big Finish Productions, added: "I'm a huge fan of Gerry Anderson's great TV shows and have always wanted to make a series based on the great man's work.

Remember 80s series Terrahawks? The Christmas special has appeared on the Gerry Anderson YouTube channel...
Terrahawks may not be as famous as Gerry Anderson's other TV shows, such as Thunderbirds or Stingray, but some readers (British ones especially) are likely to have fond memories of the 80s sci-fi adventure series. Featuring some quite advanced (for the time) marionettes, Terrahawks saw a task force led by Doctor Ninestein clash with a race of alien androids headed up by the cackling Zelda.
It was all good, clean - if occasionally quite grotesque - fun, and we seem to recall that the toys which emerged in the series' wake were really nicely done.
At any rate, the festive episode A Christmas Miracle has appeared on the Gerry Anderson YouTube channel. For some of us, it's the first time we've seen this notoriously hard to track down series in ages, and while it's inevitably looking its age,...

The son of Thunderbirds creator Gerry Anderson has voiced his desire to produce a new origins series.
Jamie Anderson - director of Anderson Entertainment - told Digital Spy that the potential show would explore how Jeff Tracy came to establish International Rescue.
"I would really love to do an origin story of Thunderbirds," he revealed. "An audience today is much more interested in canon and the wider universe that surrounds these shows, so I think something like that would be really fantastic."
Anderson added that he would be keen to make the series on audio with Big Finish, having already collaborated with the company - best known for its Doctor Who series - on an upcoming series of Terrahawks plays.
However, any such series would rely on permission from ITV, which currently owns the rights to many of Gerry Anderson's projects.

This weekend sees the debut of a brand new Saturday night entertainment show with a twist - it has puppets!
To mark the launch of BBC One's That Puppet Game Show on Saturday night (August 10), Digital Spy compiles a list of just some of TV's greatest ever puppets.
Andy Pandy
One of the leading children's characters of the early 1950s, Andy Pandy's 26 episodes were shown continuously until 1970, when a new series was made. The sweet marionette and his friends Teddy and Looby Loo lived in a picnic basket, and chilled out to the dulcet tones of Maria Bird. A new stop-motion series returned in 2002.
Animal
One of the best-loved Muppets, Animal is a drummer for the band Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. He's surely up there with Dave Grohl, John Bonham and Ringo Starr as also one of the best-loved drummers of all time. Despite having a limited vocabulary,...
