Blind Date

Why is it everyone who quits uses that line. It's become so obvious it just means 'My programmes getting worse'.

It's the same with some of the more recent "Pop" groups. As soon as no-one likes them anymore, they split-up with the excuse 'oh, we wanted to quit whilst we were still on a high, and we're all still friends'.



ITV's definition of 'New Entertainment' would be to give us something along the lines of 'Blind Date 2003' - ooh, everyone come and watch! It has 2003 stuck on the end, so it must be good!

I wonder if the Cilla Black ITV1 idents are going to be very quickly phased out now.

It's a real shame that Cilla's leaving, but I can't believe they're going to replace her and continue the show. Haven't they learnt from their mistakes? Catchphrase and Family Fortunes used to be fantastic shows, but since the Les and, erm, the presenter before the one before the current one ( ) it's not been the same.

I hope Trisha isnt the new host

I agree I used to love Family Fortunes but since it was demooted to 5.30pm with a lowe class presenter its become am laughable!

I think ITV should get some new shows on a Saturday night - Millionaire has become pathertci - when it first started everyone was talking about it but now if someone wins £1 million does anyone actually care.

Next week they have Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Take Away programme on after Blind Date at 7pm.

Does anyone know who will be hosting the next Blind Date?

Reading this thread reminded me of a link into Blind Date .............. "Unbelievable as it may sound, now on HTV a woman who is even less successful at forging relationships than I am".

I was a regular Saturday announcer with Blind Date, Gladiators and Barrymore to keep me company.

Two down one to go.

Well ITV should see sense, and axe the silly show, but of course ITV won't axe it will they since they have as much sense as a cabbage patch kid!

On behalf of Cabbage Patch Kids everywhere I must insist that you apologise for the above insult.

LOL

Apologoes to any cabbage patch kids who read these pages!

Lol Banksey I remeber that link you did into Blind Date a few years ago - It was on either HTV West or HTV Wales wasnt it?

When was the last time you announced on HTV? All we get now is Dillwyn, Sue and Leighton.

They said they'd give Trisha the job last year, I read in the paper. Also mentioned were Davina McCall and Carol Vorderman, I believe.

Please ITV - AXE IT!

Actually that said, if I was the conroller of whatever at ITV1, I would keep the show in production with a new host, but it would be an ITV2 exclusive - i.e. never on ITV1. After all, ITV2 is aimed at BLind Date's target audience, and it would add some original, exlcusive programme to the dismal line up.

After all, Blind Date is a laugh, and it would do well as an alternative to the other stuff.

Who knows, when the UK goes 100% digital, we may see a lot of old ITV1 gameshows on ITV2.

To be honest, a lot of ITV1's stuff should be made for ITV2.

If I had control I'd slap Family Fortunes, Blind Date and You've been Framed into a revamped ITV2 lineup. After all, these shows are still watchable in most cases.
