Catchphrase returns

No, but it would suggest that's what they have in mind for it as this stage.

If they wanted it to go in the 5 O'Clock hour slot , they could stick two games back to back. Having the winner stay on for the next game.

They could even make two edits making a big episode or two 30 minute ones.

They used to do that when The Price is Right become an hour long. They'd end one "show" after the showcase wheel, start all over again, and have the two "finalists" spin off for the Showcase Showdown.

From Mulhern's Twitter: "Good morning all, I can confirm I will be hosting a brand new series of Catchphrase for ITV1. I am very excited!"

And it dragged like nothing else!

But what about the mooted reboot of Play Your Cards Right - its been far too quiet on that for months now.

Cant wait to see it.
Does anybody have an idea of when it will air?

Hopeful it will get the 6.30pm slot on either Saturday or Sundays.

It'll be on Saturday nights:

Spot the error in this paragraph from the guardian:
"In its original form Catchphrase ran for more than 300 episodes on ITV between 1986 and 2002. Walker was the show's best-known host, presenting it for 13 years from 1999."

lol, it should be until 1999.

What a bland presenter Stephen Mulhearn is. And Catchphrase itself was always quick a weak format for me. Very much of it's time
