Was there a cock-up with the Krypton Factor tonight?

Last nights episodes were towards the end of group B as Gordon showed the line-up for the group B final and all of a sudden tonights episodes started from the second heat in group C.

Did they carry on showing the series late at night when they usually show repeats?

Failed to notice, because I was partying Saturday night.

If they fail to show those missing episods this weekend, then it will be the start of the 1991 series on Sunday.

I went to record the 2am showing but the stupid DVD recorder failed so i dont know if they showed the 1990 grand final or not last night.

I note from the TGBBQ website that this is now also going out on Bravo2 and LivingTV2 1am-4am as well as Ftn. Surely neither parent company is *that* hard up?

For reasons that I can only assume are related to the recent "Premium Rate Scandal" saga that's been played out in the national media, every game that went out on TGBBQ on Ftn last night had got a big green "Fair Play" sticker on it.

The puzzle grading system will be displayed as a series of question marks:
1) A single question mark – the easiest puzzles.
2) Two question marks – more challenging puzzles that contain both easy and more difficult answers within the same puzzle – e.g. Tower or Ladder games.
3) Three question marks - the hardest puzzles. These often require the use of “thinking outside of the box” and the answers are not usually obvious, but they will always follow a specific and logical set of rules.

The puzzle grading will be independently verified by TV quiz promotional verification specialist, PromoVeritas Ltd. to ensure fairness and a consistent definition is applied.

I notice on the latest release of FTN listings for the coming weeks, the front page features a big picture of Roy Walker standing in front of the Catchphrase screen - advertising the fact that Catchphrase starts on FTN from Friday 20th April at 7pm and 7.30pm weekdays.

Arrow Then on the actual listings below, it says that Nick Weir will be presenting!?!? Confused: Confused:

I guess this is a cock up on FTN's part and Roy Walker will indeed present the show. It will be a major diappointment if he doesn't seeing as they feature his picture.

Also, I just noticed on an FTN trailer, that THIS SAT and SUN at 6pm and 6.30pm, there will be ALL NEW Dave Spikey's Bullseye!!! Woo hoo!!! Again, it says on the listings that Jim Bowen will feature??

Surely, some confusion here? Rolling Eyes

So DS was right about the Dave Spikey episodes then?
.
I think we'll be on the 1991 series of Krypton on Saturday if they did skip a few episodes last week.

Why show Dave Spikey Bullseye? It's not like its any good. When I saw it originally on Challenge, I thought it was crap. It also seems to live in an airtight vacuum as its very suffocating to actually sit through.

I hope it's Roy Walker episodes and not Nick Weir ones Very Happy

Gladiators skipped a few shows to the quarter finals already, what's going on FTN? I suppose if they must spoil us with quality television they have to muck it up in some other way.

Their Gladiators listings have been saying Ulrik-ka-ka (no idea how to spell her name) and Jeremy Guscott since Gladiators turned up on FTN - despite the fact that they're nowhere near the point where John Fashnu was sacked yet and won't be for ages.
