Looks like a new, watered down version of the ITV quiz show with more rules than questions is coming back next week in a post Crossroads 5:35pm slot. No Kirsty Young, Kaye Adams presents, looks like the multi contestant format has changed in favour of a single contestant and the prize is not as big. Wonder if it'll do any better ?

Also, how have the ITV Network managed to get the 530pm slot a National slot, This was always a 'Regional' slot even though most regions show Wheel of Fortune

UTV are showing The People Versus at 1.00pm the following day (I.E there isn't a show on UTV next Monday) as UTV show UTV Life at 530pm.

Also now a networked programme is shown at 5.30pm, I wonder if they will start advertising Calendar as being at 6. They always say 5.55, even though it is usually 5.58

Last point, Kaye Adams seems to present any thing lately, 'Public Property' finished (or kind of disappeared due to many schedule changes), then a series of 'Live Talk' and now this!

Yeh, that really bugs me as well about Calendar when they say it's on at 5:55pm because it never is. I think they only say that so that people turn to them rather than switching to the 6'O Clock on BBC1.

Visit the website! Didn't it used to have a list of the three contestants? that's gone! And question setters are no longer automatically contestants! They've ruined it! Sad http://www.thepeopleversus.co.uk

I think it's been reduced to a single contestant at a time now, to make it more like Millionaire.

Good point. Maybe the new contestant from the last series (the one who knocked out another contestant) will be the first contestant, but its goodbye to the other two for good!
