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


Why do they have to repeat Family at this time? We do have ITV2 for a reason you know. This is starting to p*ss me off now, as it is coming on later and later, the repeat is on at some god awful time and that I have to be in College really early on Friday. If it was at 12.00am then I wouldn't be bothered at 12am or 12.30am is the right time for it. I assume that this means that regional programming (The Last Word; for Granada) is on at 12.00am, to be honest when they repeat Family it should be on a saturday after The Premiership or something.

If they're going to repeat Family every week then they should at least repeat The Booze Cruise, compare that to Family, that TBC got 10 Million viewers, while Family is only been getting 6/7 Million.

Last night's Turn on Terry was a bit different than usual, the first half of the show was rushed out of the way with all the usual 'Did you see the soaps so whats new lets go' business gotten out of the way in Part 1 which seemed to be only about 8 mins long.

This was because in Part 2 Yvette Fielding turned up as a third guest to first argue that kids using the F word is not funny and then to talk about a scary show she's doing which dominated most of Part 2.

And in the credits it said "Thanks to Mum and Dad" and "Directed by Big V"

Yes Yvette was quite appalled wasn't she. And I have to say when I saw that show on E4 the other night I was quite shocked by it, don't know why because you hear it all the time coming from kids. But it was odd hearing a 12 year old lad saying the F-word to Terry Waite & Betty Boothroyd.

For anyone who hasn't seen it, it's like Trigger Happy TV but with kids, and lots of swearing.

I think Andrew said on this thread that this series runs till Christmas. I don't believe it's been recommissioned after that (someone'll put the record straight on that one). It must be doing OK, otherwise Nigel Pickard's ITV would've plunged it deep into late-night TV!

Yes I read on a website somewhere that its 26 parts or something which takes it to Christmas. It might be recommissioned as Terry's other late night show 'It's My Life' was, and other shows like Dial a Date have been on years.


Oh and by the way I had a look at that show on E4 that was Terry's 'This is new to you' and there wasn't that many "full on big swear words man" as Alison said, only that one lad says the F word!

Well I hope this program comes back, and I hope there is a Christmas special. I would be good to have Tony Wilson revewing Christmas programs!!

You should know as one of your favourite shows came on directly after it a few weeks ago.

Did it? I'm not watching it as much as I have been doing because ITV keep putting it out later and later in the day and I'm not prepared to stay up well into the small hours to see it....

As a new viewer to this show I have to say it's a refreshing and uplifting watch for a nighttime show. I love the way the panel don't give a damn about what the establishment think. You feel like you're getting some honest stuff - which is rare of the telly these days. That band are great too - very postmodern. They should move it earlier and give it a longer slot - maybe let them talk about things other than tv.

I think Jarvis Cocker would make a good guest - and cynthia payne!

Re "Big Arm", it looks like that they arn't there, but I wonder were they actually there live with Terry and guests in the first few shows?

Last night's show was amusing, Terry's main rant being targetted at Matthew Wright. John Robb and Ana Boulter were guests
