I know, are they mad! I was shocked with that news. If they came up with an original, non trashy, non celebrity, reality TV show to rival BB then that would be okay, but pur-lease! I will not be watching this rubbish!

ITV have announced their autumn schedule today, see various outlets for that.

I think the original poster has just added other non-programme info that we already know and the rebrand speculation themselves and for some reason decided to focus on that rather than what has been announced today!

What's the odds on this being axed after three episodes?


The annoying thing with ITV1 is they have some bloody good drama - but alot of them are one off drama premieres.

If they redirected there efforts into more drama series they could have some weekly ratings bankers back in their schedule.

Oh, dear. Rolling Eyes I just thought it would be nice to discuss the changes at ITV.

And there have been changes. Not only about the impending rebrand, but with new decisions such as ITV4, the ITV Broadband service and of course the programming that's been comissioned to sort out ITV1.

I agree, and then maybe cut down on the soaps to make way for the new shows! Hope ITV give this new medical drama a chance, they axed Steel River Blues in a heartbeat and that had potential.
