You know it's that fallow period of the TV calendar when all BBC One has to offer on Sunday afternoon is a ten year old repeat of Bargain Hunt.

Nope, that's just every single Sunday.


Though they've been more recent episodes the last few times I've caught an episode.

They show Bargain Hunt every day of the week now. I know it's popular but come on BBC, gain a bit of originality!

Or even at least be a bit creative with its own archives. I remember Sunday Afternoons showing reruns of 'Allo 'Allo and Keeping Up Appearances. Show something else instead of ruddy Bargain Hunt. Tim Wonnacott left the show two years ago but you'd be forgiven for thinking he still hosts it.

I knew something was up with that Bargain Hunt episode but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. It looked different and felt different. Of course it turned out to be from 2008.

Mind you Bargain Hunt's racked up hundreds of episodes since it started, surprised they haven't decided to wheel out a David Dickinson episode, or would that just confuse everybody? Smile

Makes you wonder if they didn't replace Tim with a permanent host just to allow the repeats to continue relatively unnoticed and it just appears they've added extra presenters to the roster.

Typical, your not recording and Glasgow plays out decent length with not alot of talking of that Drum ident, going into the World Pipe Band Championships.

I wasn't sure where else to post this as the previous Andrew Marr show threads seem to be locked.

I've noticed that the Andrew Marr Show returns at 10am next Sunday. Does anyone know whether this is its new permanent slot as opposed to where it's been for years at 9am (next Sunday filled by a Match of the Day repeat, now shunted an hour forward)? I can see it being so as a result of (a) a slimmed down Sunday Politics programme and (b) Robert Peston vacating that slot on Sunday mornings.

Would make sense - gives Breakfast a longer outing too and puts the MOTD airing at a more sensible time.

So the local political programmes remain at 11am?

I wonder what will air instead of MOTD during the international breaks though? The random "BBC News" simulcast?

I assume viewers who could never find Peston at 10am have no problem finding Marr at 10am. It's like ITV vacating the News at Ten slot all over again.

The plan was for Sunday Politics to start at 10am.

My guess for the following Sunday is it'll revert to the normal schedule with Marr returning to 9am after Match of the Day, SP at 10 and then Sunday Morning Live at 10.30. SML has been at 10.25 for the last couple of weeks, so not much change.

I thought the MOTD repeat had to be transmitted, and be done and dusted before 09:00hs on Sunday, or the end of the world (or worse) would occur ?

So did I but it has started at 9am the last couple of weeks.
