Only 1.6m for Mamma Mia! I Have A Dream, easily beaten by Planet Earth III (5.6m) "on the other side" on Sunday. It'll probably only last a series anyway but not what ITV were hoping for.

Channel 10 in Australia have picked up a new series of Wheel of Fortune and Graham Norton's picture is on their Facebook post advertising it coming soon in 2024.

I think it was mentioned further up thread, they were asking for Aussie ex-pats in a contestant call. I assume its filming at the same time as the UK series which is in Salford next month I believe.

Any news on the new series of Gamesmaster which articles rumour will be returning later this year, as it's getting a bit late in the day now?

They've now changed the schedule and are repeating Episode 1 on Saturday Night at 5.30pm in order to give it a boost.

Yeah, I see that Harry Potter has been moved to Sunday. Next week (Sat 4th), Prisoner of Azkaban is listed so maybe that will be moved too. Only issue there is that The Voice is back so it would be singing shows all night.

Another entertainment show from ITV to go down the drain - it really feels ITV have had no luck in finding autumn entertainment replacements for the X Factor. 

Yes, we all felt the X Factor had really become long in the tooth, but it was really the only autumn entertainment show which ITV had huge success with, and from at least 2004 until 2011 they were running high in the ratings. 

I always remember a 2009 edition of Never Mind The Buzzcocks, where Dermot O'Leary was on the panel and on the opposite team was Arlene Philips, and Dermot mocked Strictly Come Dancing, boasting how they were thrashing Strictly in the ratings. 

Three years later, Strictly were thrashing X Factor

Honestly, that's a graveyard slot. There's no point trying to compete with Planet Earth, they might as well show a repeat or a film instead.

I'm not sure where else you put it. I mean Saturday is a no because it will get buried by Strictly and then The Voice is coming back next week.

People are so over singing shows, yet ITV's answer is to create more. I don't think a reboot of X Factor is the answer either.

I hadn't realised that Thames was producing.
They and Zoe Ball were both involved in "Grease is the Word" on ITV back in 2007. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grease_Is_the_Word
