ITV Programming Thread

Announcer on STV said it was filmed before the COVID Pandemic.

A Family Fortunes promo just aired on ITV.

If anything, it sounded as if they haven’t remade the Les Dennis era theme, they’re using the actual old theme itself.

I’d be surprised if that is the case. But then again I’m not holding out much hope on Gino as a host on this.

Jonathan Ross' Comedy Club wasn't bad actually - could have probably done with an extra 15 minutes though. The social distancing was done in such a way it didn't look awkward or unnatural at all - even with the audience. Is it filmed at TVC?

Agreed it was surprisingly good. The show was very tight indeed, but I wonder if this is the difference between it and Harry Hill's Clubnite which was nowhere near as good (on a sample size of 1)

I’m not sure if this is the right thread for this if not would someone be able to point to the right one.
Does anyone know if STV viewing figures are counted in the ITV viewing figures?

Hmm I don’t know as STV and ITV are effectively 2 stations. Have you looked at RAJAR’s website?

Yes they are

I think you might mean BARB rather than RAJAR

Whoops.

Yes, and I remember about a decade ago there were new episodes of Outtake TV and Alright of the Night within about a week of each other, with ITV clips on Outtake TV and BBC clips on Alright on the Night.

This latest Alright on the Night really was dreadful, unbleeped F-words but a script that would have been rejected by CBBC for being insufficiently edgy. I know it's all about stringing out what you have for as long as possible, but it might have been nice if even one clip could have been allowed to play out without the requirement to explain what was humorous about it, in case you didn't get it. It was like audio description!

I was watching Stephen Mulhern filming In For a Penny here in Southampton this afternoon.
Not sure when it will air on TV, but it's good they are able to be back filming some new programmes.

They seemed to reignite the brand with the help of Griff Rhys Jones to undo all of their efforts with these David Walliams editions.
