Correct me if I am wrong here but isn't Fitz actually an ITV programme - originally made by Granada USA as a US remake of Cracker???

I can honestly say the only programme I would watch out ITV's list is The Bill, and even then, I only watched it now and then.

for me its


Sharpe

Benidorm

The Fixer

Doc Martin

not even the bill since it went to its new god damn awful format - CSI:The Bill or is it Law and Order - The Bill or NCIS - The Bill????

Rest are just utter tripe

I wonder if STV will show I'm a Celebrity..., what with it dominating the 9pm slot for 3 weeks, meaning there would be no room for any of their Scottish opt outs.

STV state it WILL BE kept,as it's a rating winner, along with X factor

Bobby Hain was on Newsnight Scotland last night defending the broadcaster's position. Nothing new in the interview, but it's on the iPlayer if anyone's interested.

Well STV has brought another show Back in: Joan Does Glamor will be broadcast this coming Friday at 9pm

Out of all the programmes STV have opted out of, it's strange they are bringing this one back

It performed badly on the network with less than 3 million viewers IIRC

It's cheap. Says it all.

Ratings, and the viewers don't matter to STV.

Last min change have taken place tonight, instead of

10.35: real crimes ( about Nurse Colin norris)
11.35: Surface: Episode 15 of 15

will be replace by ITV network: Film Escape from New york, I wonder why!

They've found out that someone Scottish stars in the network film?
