Anyway, who were the ''celebs'' on The Big Call last night? Rolling Eyes

And another thing, it is an embarressment to watch Tara Palmer Tompkinson on TV! Mad

Interesting piece in the Sunday Times business section at the weekend. ITV's audience still ( quote ) 'old and poor' . Nothing new there - ITV's demographic profile has been 55+ C2DE for as long as anyone can remember....at least 20 years or more, no matter how hard it tries to woo todays 'yoof'.

The Axeman Cometh I reckon. I can spot a damp squib when I see one and Rock Around The Block certainly isn't rocking for ITV and I'm not suprised!


See? What did I say? Axed!!! After 4 shows!

Good for you john04 for spotting that story on MediaGuardian!

ITV are certainly desperate now. They certainly have wielded the axe far too many times this year but only because they have put on far too many **** programmes! Laughing

Only The X Factor can save Saturday night television for ITV this year now...

You said it would be axed after 2 shows, or even after only the first show, so not quite right!

It was truly appalling. I can't think how ITV keep letting these shows through - although i suppose this one was cheap to make, and subsequently cheap to pull.

The programme is being axed when?

Scottish TV just played out their trail for Saturday night, and the show is there - clip and all.

It really is a ghastly piece of television - not least because the repeat on ITV2 forces them to drop Judge Judy.

Is it completely axed or will the rest of the series be shown on Sunday morning at 9.25am?

I refer the honourable gentleman to the reply I gave some moments ago.
