So Mo Gilligan isn't on, replaced by a repeat of Cats (not Countdown) but the EPG still says Mo. Cats isn't available on watch live on C4's website either so must have been an incredibly last minute decision. Did anyone catch the continuity link going into it?
Edit: Mo was tweeting about it till 15 mins before the start time so presumably a technical issue.

"Well sorry we can't go to Mo and his happy hour right now on Channel 4, Now...."
Sounded like a pre-recorded back up link
EDIT: Confirmed on Mo's story it's technical issues, he's doing an Instagram live game from the set instead

Seems a bit suspicious citing technical difficulties for the no show - seeing that Mo Gilligan only attracted 7/20th of a million viewers last week, it is likely the replacement repeated Cats show will attract better ratings tonight and was planned, especially as the continuity sounded pre-recorded.

I think it's unlikely to be anything other than technical difficulties. They've had a week to pull it if they wanted to and they weren't going to do it minutes before going to air surely?! The EPG wasn't updated so they're unlikely to get more viewers with Cats than they would have done with Mo as no one will realise that it's on.
What are channel 4 going to be doing with its stay at home bug when it doesn’t apply in England but still does elsewhere from Wednesday
Err, yes it does still apply in England. It's the first 'commandment' https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus (with the caveat it does say 'as much as possible.)
