RE: Challenge TV - Happy2001 - 23-10-2023

Same as On Great TV!, Series 6 episode 2 of Classic Who Wants To Be A Millionaire (9th, 16th October 2004) has been skipped. The same episode wasn't skipped on it's previous run on Challenge in 2016.

Cash in the Attic isn't the most exciting proposition but that's probably why it will work on Challenge, not having any high expectations attached to it and those who watch will likely come back whereas with most shows people get their fix of nostalgia and move on.

And you think that happened on a whim? They'll have been planning it for months at least, they had to make the idents before they could launch it of course, that doesn't happen overnight. So it is possible that both shows were acquired before they decided to change Pick's name and put more premium content on there.

So to confirm, your theory is that Sky purchased Dickinson's Real Deal sometime before October 2022 (when it started airing on Challenge) intending for it to air on Pick, but then dropped it on Challenge instead on the grounds of a planned rebrand 1 year+ away?

That's more like it! Probably due to the impending new series of Wheel of Fortune with Graham Norton.

Does it say which series, or have they bought all 4 (though that would be a LOT of episodes).

I'd take the listing with a pinch of salt, after all when they put the original run of Through The Keyhole in the schedule, all the EPGs and the platforms pulled through pictures of Keith Lemon, never mind what the text said

It’s the same with WWTBAM on both Challenge and Great TV, despite them both showing Tarrant era episodes, the picture on the thumbnail is that of Clarkson and has been for some time.
