Bad Scheduling

I notice uktv trailers for the "Murder Mystery" strand tomorrow have stated 11:30ish as the start time. Is this an admission of bad timekeeping by the BUSY BEE transmission dept?

Perhaps ITV1 ought to do the same with "News at Ten Thirty - ish"

That is gold! Maybe ITV1 should adapt this style.

So anytime after 11:30 then, be a bit of a bugger for anyone time recording this series

Don't worry about a thing.

It'll start just as quickly as I find my cowboy hat.

It's mainly because it starts at different times each weekend.

I know it's really a UKTV G2 thing but UKTV sometimes do throw in a bit of humour in their presentation.

E4 do that sort of thing all the time - and More4 too.


Don't know if they still do but when they launched any repeats of recent C4 programmes were branded as "New(ish)"

LOL I like the "11.30 ish" on that trailer. I think all channels should do this. How many times to programmes not start on time or start a minute or so early.

bearing in mind corry starts at 7:30ish which varies between 7:25 and 7:35 depending on how many add they have to shove in before hand

I think for the worst programming scheduling is for the ITV News at 10.30 finishing. TV listings say it finishes at 11pm, and it does around about then or 5 past, but the next programme doesn't start until about 11:10pm due to the ad breaks!

Ive found the lunchtime news simular - that finnishes at gone 2pm and by the time they have the adverts the next programme starts at 2.05pm.

Also the lunchtime news seems to start at 1.29pm, and the presenters even promote it as starting "just before 1.30pm"

That's because they cram even more news in

It always starts dead on 10.30, so I don't know what the original poster is on about

The BBC Ten O'Clock News is the same, the programme at 10.35 is more like 10.38
