Primetime gameshows have died a death. Before long the only primetime gameshow on BBC One will be Pointless Celebs. Nothing new seems to stick now hence why there is talk of a return of The Weakest Link & Millionaire.
There's so many soaps in prime time there's barely a place to slot in a gameshow now!
- clearly going to cost more than a lottery game show but probably better the BBC focus on their strengths rather than put the money in light entertainment. Also think just as they get away with repeating Mrs Browns Boys in the slot they could probably use the slot for drama reruns there - Peaky Blinders would fit well in that slot for example.
Peaky Blinders wouldn't do well on BBC One, it's very much a BBC Two shows and in the age of boxsets and streaming, repeating dramas would be considered a no no.
Rubbish. There is very little between BBC2 and BBC1 drama nowadays and still a place for reruns on TV. Peaky Blinders has recently found a new audience on Netflix and a rerun in what is often a faifly dead slot could build an audience for the next series. I think its far betfer to rerun shows like that than just use the likes of New Tricks as schedule filler.
Issues with BBC One Network continuity this evening?
EastEnders credits had no credit squeeze at all and not even a VO. And the next programme, Classic Mary Berry had a generic 'This is BBC One' announcement.
BBC One showing an episode of Vicar Of Dibley in tribute to Emma Chambers at the moment - 4:3 pillarboxed on both SD and HD. Sound seemed a bit off at the start as well, not quite stereo?
