We do not want to be seeing the boring 1960's drama again.
Can't ITV put something better on?

Thats slot always been the same, and when something like Heartbeat starts, its like with us for months and months. I hate that slot, put something good on (and not CITV!) enough of that crap as it is.

Is it the first series that is being shown or a later one?

I havent seen Nick Berry in the episodes currently being aired and also they are 16 x 9 whereas the earlier episodes were 4 x 3 (IIRC)

It is series 9 from 1999.
From 6 September it is 60 Minute Makeover in the 5 p.m. slot.

- Because Greengrass did it!

(see the "Puffin's Pla(i)ce" thread if you're confused by that remark!)

Something I dont mind watching, although this will the be 3rd showing of this series in a space of a few months?! I thought ITV had planned something new? How long does it take.

Answer no obviously they can't

by the way when did the 1960's have 12-14 years in them, surely they must be on the early 70's now. BTW haven't seen it for ages

Haha yeh, a lot of shows seem to ignore time.

M*A*S*H lasted i think it was 3 or 4 times longer than the actual war it was based on did.

The Simpsons seems to ignore time completly. In one episode you'd see Bart happily playing on his Nintendo NES and then the next episode you see him on his Playstation 2, hilarious!

It is a NEW series of 60 Minute Makeover.
ITV did say they would revolutionise the 5 p.m. slot 12 months ago. Everyone is still waiting for this to happen.

Oh good, I thought it would be at 1.00, as thats its usual slot, and Des and Mel doesnt return until November.
