Saturday Night Takeaway 2018

Arena

Axed and merged with Imagine...?.

I don't think it suggests anything of the sort. I think it's more to do with the fact that most of the clips in that programme came from Arena when Alan Yentob was running that, but now he does Imagine....

Emma Chambers has died

"Vicar Of Dibley" actress passes away of natural causes aged 53.
