I wonder what this means for Natasha when she comes back? Will she take over from Matt at 5pm, Isla at 7pm or both? Rolling Eyes

Didn't she previously do both, and wasn't she employed on a reportedly high salary for doing so? I imagine they weren't happy at the loss of their 'catch' from BBC going on maternity leave for 12 months, but hey-ho! That's business!

Will Natasha even have the same draw for an audience after being off-screen for a year, a change in editorial direction for the news and a revamp of the channel identity?

If her agent was worth their salt they'll have written some sub-paragraphs into her contract for the eventuality of maternity leave. If not, then I offer myself to Ms Kaplinsky as a better agent or contract drafter in the future! Laughing

I expect Natasha is deemed to have the "star quality" required to carry both shows - whereas Matt and Isla are (however good they are) still relatively unknown and a bit more generic?

How long did Kerplunk sign for - it wouldn't surprise me if she didn't return.

Hadn't realised the ratings for the 7pm were only around 400,000 (that is very low for a terrestrial channel at that time of day isn't it?)

Well, their biggest problem is one channel across, surely? The 5pm bulletin is safely out of the way of all other terrestial news shows, while the 7pm is head-to-head with C4 News (and if they're less "news" and more "feature" to "differentiate" themselves... they run head-on into the One Show...

I do like the idea you've come up with... very fresh


Thanks... although I do like the combination of light lime and purple, I think Five US would be stronger with good ol' red white and blue.

Or maybe the circle would be replaced with a star or something... like a sherriff's star, considering how many crime shows they have!

Discovered this on Beonscreen but it looks like Five are to bring back the gameshow Going for Gold in mid October as a live daily gameshow and it will air in the old Brainteaser slot before Neighbours.

Didn't Five - well, Channel 5 back then, have a show a few years back which was basically Going for Gold in all but name.
