The fact that you can't really come up with a list isn't selling your idea to me.

As it stands, it seems the schedulers are trying to establish a solid foothold for ITV3 by rolling out a known selection of audience pullers.

12th place isn't bad for a relatively new channel.

A year down the line they may well put on some of these shows you refer to.

If only you can remember what they were.

No.

But there was a good one-off drama a few years ago about a boy being hijacked from a shopping centre. One of my favourites.

Examples... Examples... Examples....

When people say "ITV Drama Premieres" it's pretty much self explanatory - they've aired virtually every week over the last few years - and actually when ITV3 launched we were told they would be shown every Saturday.


And for those of you who still don't get it, I'm on about programmes like Ahead of the Class, Eyewitness, Footprints in the Snow, Hillsborough, Bloody Sunday and The Second Coming etc.

ITV missed a trick not digging out the fantastic Second Coming to coincide with Christopher Eccleston appearing in Doctor Who!

Please avoid making smilie-only replies, as it is considered by some as spamming.

On the topic of ITV3, I like some of the programmes that are shown. It's nice to see ITV making use of their archives.

Basically after all this messing about what you are saying is stop showing programmes you don't like and start showing programmes you do like?
