Definitely not getting those issues here, but I did do a planner reset the other day.

The Sky EPG is normally very reactive to changes, yet there is nothing showing for a special programme on BBC One, and hasn't been since I got home from work.


There's a fault with the BBC One Sky EPG listing tonight as its still showing The One Show as being on air now, when it finished at 19:30


The One Show was originally scheduled for 60 minutes so that explains that.

My Sky EPG has updated fine here, on all BBC1 regions and the News Channel. I suggest you need a planner reset.


All other channels are fine.

I've got 3 boxes and they're all saying the same thing.

I have no issue pausing/recording on BBC News HD 503 or SD (Channel 877)...

Just me then . . . Razz

EDIT: Another reboot of the STB, and threatening it with a large hammer, has now solved the EPG problem. I now have EPG update for BBC One. Very Happy

How many trails can they drop from the running order to still show The Apprentice and keep the 10 on time?

Not many I imagine.
It will come across messy minutes after the announcement saying switch to News Channel now.

That was my other thought, quickly edit The Apprentice down to 55 or 50 minutes.

Let's hope someone at the Radio Times has their eyes on their scheduled tweets tonight.

Also The Apprentice (much like BGT and presumably X-Factor and others) flashes things onto their official Social Media too alongside the show, presumably they're done live and not scheduled otherwise that's going to both spoil everything and look incredibly surreal.

Anyway anybody who knows anything about The Apprentice knows the first five minutes or so is a recap, so that can go. That and all the sweeping shots of London. Can fit it into 45 minutes easily, 30 or less if you cut literally everything bar the core. But I doubt any of it will go as its been commissioned for 60 minutes so...

Also remember the spin off on BBC Two, if the main show doesn't go on air the spin off can't either as it would spoil the result, which would leave a 30 minute gap on BBC Two.
