It's actually rare for Challenge to have meaningful synopsis for their shows so it will be interesting if that makes it to the EPG or if they end up  using something generic.

Whatever they do, it can’t be worse than the Virgin EPG, where the episodes are being billed as from the Keith Lemon era.

Which we know from the runtime can't be right. How did Virgin make that mistake?

I'm not sure "they" have.

I wouldn't be the least surprised if the backend/software has just seen the programme title and decided to reuse some cached text/image from probably an ITV2 repeat at some point.

Anyway wouldn't be the first time the EPG on Virgin has been wrong, on many levels, IIRC its a TiVo thing, or at minimum a TiVo thing in the way Virgin have implemented it (as per previous discussion they've had to bodge the system before for channel recordings that have closed, so it wouldn't surprise me if they've had to bodge it in other ways)

Do they have these sorts of issues on the original implementation of TiVo in the US or other places where its been sold to?

Reminds me of when the yearly (Christmas) Midnight Mass airing was mistaken by many guides for a horror film of the same name.

Just before Sign2Win this morning, Challenge updated their idents to subtitle the continuity script.

'You're ALL in play. Quizzing is everything and for everyone. A new British Sign Language gameshow - Sign 2 Win now on Challenge.'

I'm actually surprised that this Sign2Win show's been around for a bit. I've never actually heard of it before probably cause it went out last year on Film4 of all channels, the last place I'd think to see a game show. It went out on Together TV as well though.
Anyways it's nice to see a gameshow air on Challenge using BSL.

RE: Challenge TV - nwtv2003 - 07-08-2023

Film4 has had a BSL slot every Monday at 8:00am for quite a while now. It is something that’s scheduled, but does go out relatively unnoticed.

Yes - is an odd slot. More4 or 4Seven would seem a more natural choice, both of whom are also usually showing teleshopping at that point.

I think it’s compliance thing isn’t it? And assuming that’s the case I guess those other channels have signed programmes in other slots.

Let’s just hope the first series of Through the Keyhole featured no kiddy fiddlers.
