I would still like to see 8pm emmerdale killed off and kept at 5 per week. I also think Corrie should go back to Sunday, with 4 per week. Sunday/Monday/wed/Fri at 7.30pm.

They're not going to kill off any episode of a soap unless they have something to take it's place that gets the same number of people watching.

No no, not cutting Corrie tar! Very Happy

It seems The Zone has come to an end and will be replaced by Jackpot247 from Mon-Thu and "The Store" from Fri-Sun, which ITV are trying to sell as "Chatmercial" TV - it's basically shopping TV but sounds like it'll be presented more in the style of something like This Morning with an audience. I think they'll need to be careful to make sure nobody can tune in and think it's a standard chat show independently plugging some products.


Such a shame too that the three main commercial networks, along with the BBC, have given up on late night TV. Yes it was crap, but most of it was innocent enough and there is an audience out there, at weekends at least, in similar numbers to what some of the digital offshoots can get during primetime.

So..."The Store with JML" is on air.

Sarah Heaney really has gone up in the world, hasn't she? Shocked

This is just a glorified infomercial (teleshopping) then!

Agreed, I'm actually someone who watches a lot of late night TV and the terrestrial networks never have anything on. The best of the lot has to be BBC One with their late night repeats, as long as you don't mind them being signed.

The only channel I find to be really good for late night content is E4, which schedules repeats of prime time programming right up until about 2-3am, with repeats of daytime after, some of which is quite good.

Indeed, nothing wrong with having a double Big Bang Theory around midnight, after Family Guy on BBC Three.... Cool

Correction its Family Guy double, 1 squeezed in American Dad, Double Big Bang, and if still awake Scrubs...

BBC Three and E4 are the only channels with a consistant schedule each night. With a big mess of BBC Three, ITV2 then E4 overlaps on a thursday.

ITV1 hasn't appealed to me ever after 10.35 and I don't even watch ITV News at Ten or BBC News at 10 regulary.

It is one reason I think the time would be perfect now for one channel to try and establish a late night chat show. The 5pm chat show wars seem to be over now but there is surely a comparable sized potential audience there at 10.35pm/11pm - and probably with more favourable advertising demos too.

I'm not aware of Sarah Heaney's previous work. What do you know her from?

I'm only seeing The Store for the first time this evening. Is the voice over done by Mitch Johnson? The Home and Car Care Expert is Avago's Alan Ennis. Are these programmes made for ITV1 or have they been shown on other channels in the past?

I notice that professional audience member Graham Winston Peters was in the audience on one of the programmes shown tonight, he was actually one of the people chosen as a volunteer for the car cleaning item. Does anyone know how you get audience tickets for these programmes? Do you have to be a professional? All the audience members that they spoke to seemed to be very TV friendly. Where is it made?

Sarah Heaney was a main presenter on Scotland Today between 1999 and 2006.
She co-hosted ITV's Crimewatch-style programme Manhunt in 2006/7 with Mark Austin.
In 2008, she co-hosted Wish You Were Here...? Now & Then with Mark Durden-Smith.
Most recently, she was a "presenter" for Daybreak's keep-fit segment back in January.
