The Nightly Show

Where would you put the dramas? I think there should try again with a late night Chat show but maybe cut it to 3 days aweek? is that possible?

Ne1c has a point about the post-10pm schedules though. It's either a repeat of a documentary or a film before Jackpot247 starts. BBC One and Channel 4 are still thriving in those time slots.

I'm open to suggestiona

BBC One aren't thriving, besides Norton and QT there is very little new content after 10:45 anymore.

Possibly the worst scheduling idea ever. Replacing Broadchurch with an hour long Newsnight.

Nobody watches films on TV anymore, except at Christmas, or if it's Bond or Harry Potter.

It is a dumping ground for BBC3 output. Mind you Wales/Ni/Scotland do run new stuff in that slot or pushed out network stuff.

Its never going to be a perfect situation

My point is you're still bound to find more "original commissions" after 10:30 on BBC One rather than repeats or something.

Same with C4 - almost always narrative repeats in the 11pm hour and they creep into the 10pm hour too.

This is why airing the Nightly Show at 10pm was stupid - they were putting it against the highest rated post-10pm show when there would be potential afterwards to capture a channel hopping audience looking for something amongst all the late night repeats.

STV now has its own late night chat show with Ewen Cameron on STV2
