This in turn can led to viewer fatigue, as well as those programmes becoming a bit tired.
Apart from sporting events until recently I can't recall the last time on ITV1 the normal weekday schedules wasn't 4pm Tipping Point, 5pm The Chase. The same goes for BBC One with Pointless at 5.15pm, as I think it's been 5 years since Impossible was in that slot for a few weeks. I don't mind these programmes and I understand they show repeats in-between new episodes to save money, however some variety would be nice.
