Noticed that WWTBAM started a "new" series 5 weeks ago - aired for the 1st 2 weeks and then has not been since for the past 3 weeks - nor will it be on this Saturday either! Rolling Eyes

Also, The National Lottery Winning Lines is normally on around this time of year, only having a short run last year as The X Factor was using its studios for much of the Autumn. Yet, this coming Saturday, another series of YAWN YAWN YAWN The National Lottery Jet Set starts - that's the 2nd series within the same year Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes ! Where has Phillip Schofield's Winning Lines gone to? Is it not going to be shown this year? Has it been axed??

More importantly, has WWTBAM been axed? If not, where has it gone? Confused:

Winning Lines has been axed. A new show - presented by Mark Durden Smith - called 'Millionaire Manor' will be starting soon. It's basically 'Jet Set' in a luxury mansion. The winning family will live in a luxury manor house complete with butler, chef, chauffeur and housekeeper. Each week the current residents have to battle against 3 other families to retain the keys

If ever there were five words to put you off watching a TV show...

But what about WWTBAM? Has ITV quietly cancelled it without publicly saying anything?

No, there is just no room in the schedule for it at the moment, what with extra long X-Factor, Gameshow Marathon, X-Factor results & that drama.

I expect it will be back when Ant & Dec finish. Although personally speaking, I think it would be better to have it on one night in the week.

WWTBAM is well past its best and should be axed IMO.

Or at least a new set and graphics!

No room for a decent quiz show, yet plenty of room for two helpings of the bloody X Factor!

(And that's at least one too many!)

X Factor is far better than that boring quiz show.

That's your opinion and you're entitled to it. But I think two episodes of Opportunity Chavs in one night, is one too many!
