Just realised, but the stumbling block to Popmaster TV possibly returning is 12 Yard/ITV having little creative control over it.
Popmaster Ltd own the format rather than 12 Yard, so Ken will have possible main influence over Popmaster TV in terms of the look etc, and 12 Yard probably have to run changes past Ken.
12 Yard/ITV will prefer to own formats they can control and sell internationally themselves (Eggheads, Who Dares Wins etc) rather than dealing with 3rd parties.
(The Hit List's format is owned by Tuesday's Child themselves)

I think if you looked at their contestants from the decade or so they were on air you'd have a much better reflection of the make up of Britain of the time than you would from any reality show or other game show.

Two series recommission for Limitless Win. Not too surprised, with Takeaway going and Starstruck gone it makes sense to get this locked I :

RE: The TV Gameshow Thread - Brekkie - 12-07-2023
I think it's warranted - wasn't sure on the first series but it really grew on me in the second and I think the couple of fairly minor tweaks they made did improve it. Millionaire being in limbo works in it's favour too.
RE: The TV Gameshow Thread - IanJRedman - 12-07-2023
Speaking of which, what's happening with Millionaire? According to the Wiki it hasn't been on since last October. We know there are loads of episodes waiting to air.
The official Twitter even retweeted this!

They are probably saving Millionaire for around August, the lean season for ITV1 - they want to ensure the heat from Clarkson's problems earlier in the year to have fully died down

It was filming in February- hasn’t been any new eps since.
I also saw an episode filmed in February 2022, which still hasn’t aired.
RE: The TV Gameshow Thread - Score - 12-07-2023
Yeah Millionaire filmed quite a chunky block of episodes in February (something around 12-15 I think) plus I believe still has about 5 episodes from the 2022 recordings left to go out. Not sure how many (if any) of those are celeb specials. There were reports of cancelled celeb specials earlier in the year but some of the 2022 leftovers might be celeb.
No idea when they’re airing but they’ve probably got enough episodes to make two ‘series’ on air. Makes sense to wait for the Clarkson furore to die down but it’s old news now and Amazon have already released more content with him since. It still rates fairly well so no real reason to stop making it. If they were so disgusted by his comments they’d have cancelled it there and then, not gone and recorded more.
RE: The TV Gameshow Thread - Brekkie - 12-07-2023
With up to 20 episodes that's probably three runs of episodes, which would probably mean no need to think about recording new until 2025.
The trouble with the Feb 2022 episodes is how many questions reference the Queen or Royal Family. You notice in the repeats of Tipping Point and The Chase for example how they're referenced in questions almost daily.

The inclusivity aspect was perhaps unintentional with the show being nothing to do with general knowledge and just opening boxes. There will be in-depth research out there about people being disadvantaged by many aspects of their life including disability which limits opportunities for learning, but DOND certainly would have encouraged people who wanted to be on tv but felt dissuaded by the requirements of other shows.
Millionaire, it's never given a great slot because viewers aren't that interested in it anymore. Limitless Win is more appealing even if its numbers hardly set the heather alight. Hopefully, ITV don't move it to SNT's slot and/or pair it up with Wheel of Fortune because it works where it is and the latter options are problematic.
