Many thanks for your post, and many apologies for the disruption - it was a mistake and shouldn't have happened.

There was an editing error during the Film 4 broadcast of TRANSPORTER 2 on 28 March. Immediately after the second ad break (at about 54m 07s in film's runtime), you repeated a 7 seconds segment from the start of the film (about 2m 25s), where the four car-jackers get out of the car to confront "Frank" after he refuses to tell them the security code. I hope you can have this fixed in time for the next broadcast!

I was pleased to see that you were able to fix the TRANSPORTER 2 mistake in time for the second broadcast on 3 April. There was a new establishing shot instead of the repeated segment.
I noticed that you also moved the timing of the first ad break, which eliminated the overlap of several seconds around the first ad break in the first broadcast.
Now, to make it perfect, all you need to do is stop messing about with the end titles. The 3 April broadcast suffered from all three deadly sins: a voice-over announcement, a "squeeze" to show details of future programmes, and a speed-up which lopped about 3m 11s off the total running time.

I don't know how many times people have to complain about this sort of thing before Film 4 realises just how aggravating it is, especially on a dedicated movie channel. We know these things can be extremely long and indulgent, but cropping, squeezing and speeding them up indicates a degree of contempt for the audience. Tell us what's coming next if you really have to (it's a commercial channel, after all), but fer cryin' out loud, try not to interfere with the credits in such an intrusive manner.
Don't speed them up, don't squeeze the image quite so much (a quarter or third of the screen will do, not half of it), and minimize the voice-over to the absolute basics required. Sometimes they witter on for what seems like hours...
