Well its obvious isn't it. Breaks often disrupt the flow of programmes. In my own opinion of course.

With respect to Mr Grade, I'm sure he's got a lot in mind to sort out ITV but poaching Neighbours from the BBC after 21 years is not the best move.
Perhaps if transferring Neighbours to itv1 at lunchtimes is succesful, Mr Grade could ask his daughter what the word on the streets is and find out if having a tea-time repeat would work?

So you're saying that no programme should have breaks?

No.
I'm basically saying I can't imagine Neighbours with ad-breaks.
Lets leave it there.

Charles in Charge
Masterteam
The Flintstones repeats
FIrst Class
The Good Life repeats and repeats and repeats
oh forgot - that's what they used to show before neighbours in the 530slot!!!!!!
How about as already suggested swapping bbc1 and bbc 2 over then
6pm on BBC2 Monday, Wednesday and Friday new Britsh Soap (now here is my soap-box!!!) KINGS OAK (set in the village which has Crossroads Hotel) and then Tuesday and Thursday repeats of RIVER CITY - (first screened on BBC Scotland) and then at 630pm - Blockbusters, University Challenge, Eggheads, Mastermind ("intelligent') quiz shows.

Yeh of course, why would they want such a popular daytime show in their line-up, a show that pulls in a phenomenal 40% audience share at lunchtime and over 2.5m viewers, when their own daytime schedule is so succesful.

Yes and at least he seems to be interested in spending money on TV programmes unlike the previous Chairman
At the end of the day, all programmes and presenters are up for grabs and it works in all directions

It would seem, this afternoon, the BBC is resigned to losing Neighbours. What ITV is offering per episode is about six times what the BBC currently pays, and if the BBC offered to top that there would be understandable questions about how the licence fee is being used; that sort of money would be better spent on home-grown drama.
Don't forget that ITV turned down Neighbours in the first place because they couldn't see it catching on. Now ITV is haemorrhaging viewers and they're trotting out quick-fix after quick-fix to keep them. And ironically, the man trying to poach the show is the same man who made Neighbours such a success for BBC1.
If the BBC does lose Neighbours, I would hope they'd be more mature about it than ITV when it lost Home And Away (ie. allow ITV to show Neighbours right away WITHOUT a 12-month hiatus).
