Was this meant to be published around midnight? Flog It! is getting axed as part of a 'shakeup' in the daytime schedule, even though these days it is more a teatime show anyway!
Turns out the BBC were just slow, I see it was reported this afternoon elsewhere.
Quote:
The majority of the new shows will focus on the home.
One titled Home is Where the Art is will see amateur artists compete to produce a piece for one house in the Nick Knowles-fronted show, with three creatives battling it out per episode.
Twofour’s Britain’s Housing Scandal will seek to examine why 200,000 of the UK’s domestic properties lie empty, with host Mark Allwright telling the story of these empty homes and looking to the local councils and charities attempting to solve the scandal.
Completing the housing set, Sidney Street’s The Best House in Town will “celebrate the best of British ingenuity and creativity”, pitting homeowners in different locations against each other, with a group of ‘Nosey Neighbours’ judging which home deserves the crown.
Elsewhere, newly launched Rawcut TV division Tomos TV has been handed a debut commission in the form of factual format Defenders UK, following the work of the “unsung heroes” in enforcement agencies who crack down on rogue behaviour.
The Customer Is Always Right, which will feature three entrepreneurs – all in their first year of fronting new businesses – testing debut products on customers.
Finally, chefs Catherine Fulvio and Paul Ainsworth will front Best Christmas Food Ever. Stripped across the pre-Christmas fortnight, it will feature celebrity guests enjoying dishes that have particular meaning for them.
A ripoff of Come Dine With Me and Give It A Year with Karen from the Apprentice in that selection!
All of those sound like short run daytime shows really, most of which more suited to the morning consumer slots. Flog It has had an almost year round presence, though I suspect mostly as repeats. The trouble BBC daytime has is when it is so reliant on repeats it's difficult to launch a new show and estabhlish it in the schedule in the way the likes of Homes Under the Hammer, Bargain Hunt and Escape to the Country are.
