ITV Play

It's nothing we've not heard before though. The Big Game TV incident was first publicised in May last year.

i see there's a another show coming to itv play:

play dj is now on 6pm-8pm & 10.00pm-1am

I don't know when this phenomenon is going to end but when it does I shall be rubbing my hands with glee.

The Zone...for crying out loud!

Just flipping through the channels tonight and I've just noticed that Craig of the mint and glitterball seems to also be on sky vegas, does he not get enough money from itv, or does he just want to appear on as many quiz channels as possible, or does he actually have a twin! Interesting.

He must be a freelance presenter (i.e. crap). Lets face it, he needs the money to keep that god-awful hair colour going. He's such an idiot who thinks he's incredibly funny but in fact, he's incredibly the opposite!

So... The Zone made its first outing today.

Absolute blatant rip-off of Make Your Play only in different colours and what looks like the same studio in lime green. Hardly surprising as both shows are made by Granada, both will never be on at the same time, therefore reuse what you've got.

Dunno if anybody saw this in The Mirror the other day:
Click Here - scroll down to "1313 Calls in 18hrs".

Seeing the Mirror article, its surprising how many people still haven't cottoned on to the blatant rip-off that is ITV PlayAlong and (to only a slightly less degree) Play DJ. The latter gives away more money in one night than Playalong gives away in three months mind, but its still a fortune to get on the top ten and even then there's a one-in-ten chance after that to win £20.

It is slightly concerning because you see the same names night after night on Play DJ in the top five on most of the Buzzwords/Izit games. Can anybody confirm if the "so many free minutes/texts" a month packages actually are free so far as ITV Play is concerned, or do you pay 75p+12p per text on top of the package deals?

Honestly PlayDJ/Playalong is so crap, you might as well have Greg presenting from a webcam in his house....in Berkshire.

Play DJ is probably the genre at it's worst.

The actual ITV Playalong though without the live ad-lib isn't too bad for what it is - as long as your not stupid enough to get your mobile out and think you have a chance of winning!

Well exactly! Pointless in the first place.

I aim to single-handidly destroy ITV Play, just watch!

Best of luck with that - though I don't think the channel itself will last much longer. I'm sure the brand will remain though overnight on ITV1 - and probably creep into the daytime schedules of ITV2 or something as well.


ITV Play though never seem to think more than a few days ahead of themselves, axing strands only to replace them a few weeks later with something very similar (well, they're all very similar aren't they!).

playalong has just CRASHED!
izit was on & the first round ended, never went to the second round & there was clean music.
now it's just the idents over & over again

Re: PlayAlong has just Crashed..
Do you know how long it was crashed for?

Well flicking through the channels and I came to Men and Motors and the new show The Zone is on from 4 - 6pm. The graphics are just Make Your Play's but in a light green colour.
