Moving back on topic now and I think it's quite an interesting change. The "Faves at 5" slot has been quite messy since it was launched. Originally it was for any type of show, then for dramas (yet non-dramas made it on) then it's back to variety now. I wish they'd pick something and stick to it. None of this musical chairs rubbish.
As for the reintroduction of TSoTB episodes, I'm not surprised. They've been talking about old shows quite frequently on their social media outlets and advertising them on iPlayer + reintroducing other old shows such as Trapped! and The Slammer.
Looking at the first week of the strand (w/c 3rd April 2017), it was all dramas at 5pm. This included moving new episodes of Wolfblood and 4 O’Clock Club to 5pm from 4.30pm. Of course, they don’t repeat last week’s episode at 4.30pm before the new episode, which was a little bit lazy.

They have about 2 dramas in the bag currently because they haven’t filmed much over the past year (for obvious reasons), so it makes sense to drop the strand and make good use of what they have.
To be honest and with all due respect I'm half-inclined to say who cares.
