If I can add one more Challenge example, there was the 2002 series of Play Your Cards Right as well.
CITV, just before the afternoon strand on ITV1 was axed, had a habit towards the end of running new series for a few episodes (i.e. the Finders Keepers revival or Scratch and Sniff's Den of Doom*) before burning them off ad nauseum on the CITV Channel.
* Burning off what was probably one of the last original CITV productions of that era could well have given rise to the ridiculous myth of it being 'lost media'.
