I notice a Stars In Their Eyes grand final went out on Wednesday night over two hours. Yet Thursday's showing is still dated from being 2000. Two series in 2000 I take it?
The grand final was surprisingly still considerably intact editing-wise, considering some of the shoddy editing I've seen on other shows aired on the Virgin channels. Obviously had to cut round the "call this number to vote for Freddie Mercury" bits but it was generally well done if a bit rough round the edges. The results programme, which I'm sure went out separately, is tacked on afterwards on the re-run. The results programme only lasted ten minutes, Virgin obviously had to chop a great big chunk out of that. No credits for it either, wonder if they were added on the fly originally on the transmission feed only hence why they don't appear on the rerun? Hmm.
I also note "Help! I'm becoming My Dad" (or a programme with a similar sort of title) starts Saturday at 8pm, replacing Dog the Bounty Hunter. I also note they're still airing Dave Spikey Bullseye trailers all week and then showing Jim Bowen Bullseye episodes at the weekend.

Yeah, I think that's some rights issue. i.e. they don't have advertising rights for the old Bullseye but can air the Spikey's Bullseye trailers because its currently on Challenge.
According to another forum, FTN will soon be showing a double of The Crystal Maze weeknights at 6pm!!! Whether this is true of not, I am not sure, but that's what has been "apparently" confirmed!!! Which is great news! When this will occur, is uncertain : . And will Ed get a chance to dish out his cosmic handshakes :
