Potentially a joint commission? It premiered on channel 5. Borderline was scripted comedy, but I’m unsure if anything has come along since.
Wasn't impractical jokers actually made for Comedy Central though and just repeated on Channel 5 after, or am I getting confused?
I was thinking in terms of scripted comedy though.

I'm starting to find Paddington 24/7 a tad boring now though, there has been about 20 episodes, and except for a few rare occasions, most of the content is just a slightly different version of what we've seen before.
A track fault that threatens the evening peak service.
A broken down train that threatens the evening peak service.
A signalling failure that threatens the evening peak service.
A trespasser on the track that threatens the evening peak service.
A platform out of action that threatens the evening peak service.
at Reading, at Slough, at Paddington, at Bristol, at Didcot...

Maybe they should move to a different station for the next series, the first series was in King's Cross, they can possibly go somewhere else. Victoria or Euston maybe?

I guess that's possible, with both channels being under the same ownership. Plenty of channel 5 shows have ended up on MTV & CC and vice-versa recently.

Victoria would give them the scope to find something extraordinary in a handbag.

Euston would presumably look awful on screen as all the platforms are dark and grim.
Victoria wouldn't have the same drama of a long distance service being effected by the drama unfolding

That is one thing about Euston. Really unfortunate especially when you see how grand it used to look until the 60s, now it's an awful, ugly concrete box.

Maybe they could look at somewhere outside the capital?

Leeds or Manchester Piccadilly? Not Birmingham New Street though for the same reasons as Euston- dark, dingy platforms.

The Kings Cross/East Coast series you're thinking of was on Sky One.
Paddington Station 24/7 is the First Great Western series renamed after First lost the franchise.
