There's an extra regional variation on Thursday night meaning the night time schedule after Midnight is pushed back 30 mins later than usual.

Don't worry Turn on Terry is back to its usual 12.50am slot the following week.

And Terry Christian was back the other day on ITV1 in an edition of "It's My Life"

Turn on Terry fans - I need your help.
Last night for some reason for the first time I missed the show. That’s only because it was on so bloody late!!! So can anyone here who stayed up and watched it give me a blow-by-blow account of last night’s events. If anyone can sum it up in 2 paragraphs I will be thankful and someone find their copy of 'Whats on TV' and let me know all the times that episode is on again.

Thanks if anyone can help!

Well it's on again tonight and again I can't watch it as I have to be up early! Putting it on at 12.50am is ridiculous, 12.00am is more suitable, or that time on a Tuesday night (As I am in college very late on Wednesday's)

Anyway for those who have access to ITV1 Granada and like Terry Christian put The Last Word on at 11.30pm, as Terry himself is on the panel tonight.

"Twice Nightly Terry."

And he's on It's My Life on Sunday, so he's thrice weekly Terry as well

It is supposed to be a nightime commision so any time after 12.30am is reasonable really. Next week's is 1.20am again, but the following week is apparantly 12.25am!

It's criminal that it isn't on earlier. Why not have it at eleven on a Friday night or something, for the post-pub audience? Might be popular.

"The Machine" is something else that should be on earlier. I admit it's hardly riveting television and it's clearly done on the cheap, but it could be the thing to fill that difficult 5-6pm gap that ITV1 always seem to have trouble with.

I've been watching "Dare To Believe" as well (although I've only seen two of them, it's on ludicrously late) but that's just very strange, if oddly compulsive.

I didn't see Turn On Terry but I managed to see The Last Word and he was great on it, even calling a viewer a pr*ck, but Terry had a good reason to do so. There was even suggestions for him to be the next Doctor Who, but he was great, shame he isn't on it every week.

Last night's show was another good one.

Tina Baker was a good guest reviewer this week, especially as they kept taking the p out of her with her being a soap critic on LK Today

John Robb was also actually ok this week now they've realised he talks a load of rubbish.

John Robb is back next week, no doubt with Alison or Ana, and you can see this week's show again at 2.30am on Sunday morning!

I can’t believe I missed the show again this week. That’s 2 in a row now! Next week, to be on the safe side I WILL set the video.

Glad to hear this week’s show was a good one. Wonder when Tony's back?

It was definitely one of the better ones last night. Usually when they cover the soaps they don't really dwell on them too much, or if they do they take the piss, but Tina Baker insisted on going on a little too much which led to a nice bit of banter.

Impressed at the way they covered Corrie's "first gay kiss" as well!

Incidentally, is it me or does Terry have a new chair?

A warning for all Turn on Terry viewers. Due to earlier schedule changes, tonight's show is on 30 minutes later than billed in some listings.

Next week though it moves to before "The District", lets hope that is permanent

What?? I'm not quite with it today. What Schedule Change? What's the new time then? Oh Bloody hell! I might just have to watch on Saturday.

BTW, Not seen next weeks TV Guide or Sky Listings. What’s the new time for next week?
Sorry for the constant questioning, but I'm sure Andrew does not mind do you mate?

They are sloting in another chance to see "Family" at 11pm, meaning all programmes from 11.30pm onwards will be on 30 mins later than billed.

This means Turn on Terry moves from the very late in the first place 1.20am to the stupidly late 1.50am.

Next week its on before The District at the fairly respectable time of 12.30am and the following week its on at the slightly later time of 12.50am
