Putting The Chase on twice a day might be seen as overkill and hurt it in the long term.
I imagine ITV are already asking for pitches for replacements. I’m not sure how long turnaround could be to launch a 10-20 part studio show but could they feasibly get a show for the Autumn
I think they already have overkill with the chase. I used to watch it every weeknight but its just on too much taking over the 5pm slot for something like 48 weeks a year where as before we used to get some variety whether it be Paul O Grady show, Golden balls, Divided, other quiz and game shows. Now they keep putting on repeats of the chase on Saturday and Sunday too. They need to start giving the slot to something else for a few months a year before viewers become tired of seeing the same thing day in day out. like with anything successful in TV land its been milked to death. Channel 4 in contrast now they have stopped their obsession with come dine with me every week of the year have a nice variety of shows at 5-6pm including four in a bed, extreme Cake makers, Kirstie's handmade Christmas, buy it now and others + normal come dine, & couples come dine. I used to really like come dine with me but as the years went on it became more about conflict and unlikable people and after seeing the Come dine with me champion of champions I've not watched the standard one since. Channel 4 is now my choice for the 5-6pm slot
If Judge Rinder was to take the 9:25am slot I hope they won't show it all year round like they did with Jeremy Kyle. Right at the start I used to watch all Jeremy Kyle shows but quickly lost interest when it became a year round programme. I've watched every episode of Judge Rinder but its nice when it takes a break for a few weeks or months. If it becomes a 52 week show a year I will stop watching it completely as its too much of a commitment week in week out with no end. Same thing happened with Tipping point I enjoyed that but yet again its now on almost every week of the year so I stopped watching that too.
If you look at the BBC One morning schedule it is always changing every 2-4 weeks they show something different where as itv is just the same thing all year round, we used to get breaks over the summer at least but even that has now ended. itv need to stop relying on the same thing all the time. I used to watch quite a lot of itv but have become increasingly bored of what they put out. The over reliance on Emmerdale and Coronation Street for example has ruined the quality of both shows and I much prefer the variety shown on BBC One for catching up on morning tv on an evening
