ITV Discussion Thread

Golden Balls seems to be the only regular thing they show at 5pm now with a 3rd series commissioned already and it started less than a year ago.

Don't watch it now, cos everytime i do i'm reminded of the day GAV WOZ ROBBED!!!!

Is that Chris Tarrant show returning too - on Takeaway the other night he was on the set of something that wasn't Millionaire, so I assume it was that.

Well in Scotland does anyone know if this is beating Deal or no deal?
Golden Balls is shown at 4.30 - 5.30.

also Films to build there kids output??? are of com mad!

Not sure if The Great Pretender is coming back, but he is filming a new gameshow for Challenge AIUI

Does anyone think the synopsis of the thread should be changed, as the Fixer isn't getting any where near 6 million any more, more 4 million.

Can't say it bothers me that much, to be honest.

Also talking of Tarrant, any news on further series of Tarrant on TV - would be perfect for the 10.35pm slot once a week.


It seems ages since there's been a new series - it just seems to be the occasional episode which might run in a slot for a couple of weeks, but then disappears.


Though admittedly now with YouTube etc., not to mention the changing nature of British TV shows, it's not quite the shock show it was in the nineties.

I agree. It seems to have to rely on Japanese TV footage to get some kind of "shock" factor. That and the serious PIFs into the break.

I think it's probably had it's day thanks to YouTube but who knows, it could still fill a gap and it's more worth watching than Neil "Look at me messing around" Morrissey's TV Blunders.

The bit from Takeaway was taken from the set of "It's Not What You Know", currently recording at the BBC to be shown on Challenge sometime in April.

Does anyone know the official names to the current set of ITV2 idents? Here's a brief description, and my suggested name:

1) The one with ghetto blasters and tapes in it. (Music or Disco?)

2) The beach scene which includespeople fanning, lazing back, ice lollies, umbrellas, thermometer & fire extinguisher; and has Hawaiian music playing. (Beach?)

3) The one with loads of big shoes in. (Shoes?)

4) The one with racetracks, cars and tyres in, and with rather lively music (Motor racing?)

5) The one implying wealth / richness: it includes a white car, a safe, women posing with bottles of booze, stacks of coins, a big white cat, an aeroplane, a sports car, etc. (Money, Wealth, Richness?)

6) A snow scene, everyone is wrapped up warm. (Snow, Cold, Winter?)

I've been unable to find a source stating official names to these. Can anyone else help?

Apparently the names are exactly as you thought they were.

So that's that sorted.
