Fairly poor scheduling from Drama by putting The Bill at 8.00am and midnight every day! Mad I won't be able to watch it at these times - they should have put this quality drama on at 8.00pm every night where it used to be or at least 10.00pm - this scheduling decision is complete madness!

Will ITV have a say in where the episodes are aired?

No, because ITV don't own the rights to The Bill...

If the broadcaster is prepared to pay the going rate, I don't really see what it's got to do with Freemantle Media where it scheduled.

It's a soap basically. When I hear the term 'quality drama' I think more Downton Abbey, Broadchurch and Sherlock.

Perhaps you could invest in a Video Cassette Recorder.

I'm inclined to agree that having The Bill at such times isn't going to attract many viewers, a daytime slot 11-4 would be more appropriate in my opinion. Mind I'm not fused as I will have it Sky+ each day!
