In the case of recorded shows - Will we see an upsurge of Classic TV dramas on ITV3 and Drama such as Wycliffe, The Ruth Rendell Mysteries: Inspector Wexford? Classic Comedies on Yesterday such as Kenny Everett Show, Spitting Image, Hale and Pace? Quiz shows on Challenge such as Blankety Blank, Treasure Hunt, Krypton Factor, Gen Game?? All shows that have not been shown for a while. All shows that would entertain the people self-isolating at home and the over-70's as well as a few gems for the you find who are skiving off work! There could be a real surge in TV ratings during this time of crisis bringing people together - no-one wants to sit at home watching depressing 24 hour news all day long.

It will be interesting to see how forthcoming live shows cope without a studio audience.

Challenge will just double up on endless repeats of The Chase.

Buisiness as usual for them, then.

I think realistically ITV3 will stick with more recent stuff as that tends to rate better than than the ancient stuff

With potentially the TV audience bookings on hold, could that put the financial situation of the booking sites under pressure (SRO/Applause Store/Lost In TV etc.)?

Obviously in most cases audience tickets are free but presumably they get finance from the productions to gain the audiences?

There are some rumblings in the industry that ITV Studios ( Television Centre ) will be closing next week.

Wouldn't that put GMB off air? unless they decide to film in a remote location.

Is that ITV Studios the production company though rather than the actual studios which aren't called that?

If so GMB isn't an ITV Studios production is it?

Question Time to go ahead without audience. That’ll be just “Time” then!

Could they use the BBC’s secret nuclear bunker?
