Didn't it start to beat BB towards the end? I thought that is why they brought it back.

I can't see anyother reason for resurrecting this car crash.


It did, but not without the help of Coronation Street. ITV disgustingly used Corrie to prop up Love Island, by combing the two Monday episodes into one episode, running from 8.30pm to 9.30pm. If they do that this year then I'll be switching off.

Except for the launch episode it's going to be shown at 10pm, so knowhere near Coronation Street. It also leaves the main 9pm slot free for a range of, in my opinion, better shows such as Bad Lad's Army

So this'll be the latest weapon in ITV's promised ratings battle against Big Brother.

I don't think there'll be many sleepless nights at Channel 4.

I didnt agree with that either. ITV should be confident enough in its programmes not to have to rely on its most popular show to carry other programmes.

This is the only programme on terrestrial which I actually hope fails in the ratings in favour of axe!

ITV's most cheapest appalling show.

For a boss seeking £100m in savings, Chas Allen didn't half miss a golden opportunity here.
