They could at least show the unscreened episodes! One week at 5pm would suffice (I think that's about the right number of unscreened eps)

For once, I agree with you. How ridiculous of ITV not to be able to find a slot for the remaining episodes of Shafted anywhere in their schedule over the last 2 years. I mean how bloody pointless. There will no doubt be people who won substantial amounts of money on that TV show, yet their performances have never been aired. Rolling Eyes

There's still a whole series of Stars in their Eyes, and yet their filming a new series! Maybe they're stockpiling content for ITV Extra / ITV Gold?

Not sure about that as then they would get the same publicity again, best to stick it on at 12.30am, like Hotel Getaway (which flopped) was shown a few weeks ago.

Has anyone recently asked ITV about Shafted, maybe changes in staff mean they've forgotten that it exsists?

You mean Plus I take it? The first SITE filmed each series is usually the previous series final, so if they're filming already, why isn't the unscreened series on yet?

I'm sure they'll show Stars in their Eyes in the Autumn and then the new series in the Winter. The reason its probably been delayed is because when the Matthew Kelly business blew over it was almost summer, and they don't want to waste it in a summer slot

Nope, he means the forthcoming ITV Gold

That's actually happening? I thought it was just a rumour. What on earth are they going to fill it with? They should stop trying to copy the BBC and just work with what they've got.

Well technically "Plus" will be replaced by ITV Gold AFAIK...

Maybe ITV might start a channel called ITV Planned, which actually shows the programmes ITV1 planned to, and not the latest schedule change.

Indeed. I would love to see Robert staring at me with the line "To share or to shaft" or whatever he said which was catchy. Who made Shafted? I'll have 3 guesses, Carlton, LWT, Granada TV? I'm wrong on all accounts am I? Anyway, If things that got axed Like Night and Day and Elimidate got to chop mid way through their run, but were still able to show their series and a different time, I think Shafted should be shown. I just wonder what Robert feels about the show? Was it a low point in his TV Career? Because it flopped, is that why he has just stuck to what he does best, and not tried any other forms of TV apart from his Talk show.

I liked the show, but dare I say it... I thought Kilroy was useless as the presenter.

Think Endemol made Shafted.

No reason why they couldn't show it late at night when they don't have ads, so don't have to worry about revenue. They've already said that the remaining Judgement Day episodes won't be shown.

As I've said before, it's a shame TV execs care more about the people not watching than the people who are.
