Richard and Judy move to UKTV

As someone who only has freeview I hope they put it on Dave. I know Richard and Judy don't really fit on that channel however.

UKTV said the primetime, daily, 60-minute show would be "high-octane" and "celebrity-filled" and debut on a "new look channel" in the autumn

so maybe "Pam"?

'The Guardian' are saying it's likely to be a new channel - not a re-branded channel.

By the sounds if it it's exactly the same show made by the same people but in prime-time. Maybe they were pushed by CH4 after all?

does that mean we have to put up with Paul o Grady ALL YEAR!

COMING UP.................








.......my lunch

Richard Hammond has done a pilot for that slot.

Well ITV1 has been there and done that with Richard Hammond's 5 O' Clock Show, and that wasn't exactly a rip-roaring success.

Well he has a much bigger profile because of his car crash. Before that he was just another TV presenter. I think it could work now.

Think I'll drive home extra fast today. May help further my career.

paul contracts ends this year does he not? I can;t see him doing it all year!

But I don't think nearly dying has improved his presenting technique, which in the end is what's going to keep people coming back to a show. Okay, because of his higher profile, they may be more likely to tune in initially out of curiosity, but the content needs to work to hold onto the audience. Being a big name isn't enough as Sharon Osbourne and Anthony Cotton have proved.

Come Dine with Me has been commissioned to fill the slot for a number of weeks (in addition to the new prime time version). C4 are also piloting two new quiz series over the summer.

so UKTV Chit Chat is it now...
