I don't understand why anything with Starr would be omitted. I mentioned this in the Network thread after I bought the Give Us a Clue box set, where they omitted episodes featuring Freddie Starr but kept episodes with Jim Davidson. Both were arrested but ultimately not charged.

Ah, of course they were! Well remembered that man.

The ITV version covered series 1-4 and was done in a different style to the ones created for Challenge:

Wonder if it's linked to this:

Wait a minute, so they’ll repeat Robert Maxwell and not Freddie Starr? Odd.

Looking at NOW TV's on demand service, Challenge skipped the last show of Series 1 which was the Christmas Special.

Makes sense - I assume they're saving it for Christmas!

The episode listed as being Series 1 episode 9 that aired last in the current run on NOW TV is different from the previous episodes on both Challenge and BSL Zone on demand pages:
Challenge:
- Slight changes in the games (e.g 5 words to get right in the first round instead of four)
- 2023 copyright date and different style end credits
BSL Zone:
- The On Demand page for BSL Zone has a episode of Tipping Point (10th Anniversary repeat of the first ever episode) instead of the episode of Sign2Win.

Not sure whether its a deliberate decision or whether something's broken but Challenge seems to have lost the ability to do voiceovers and ECPs for at least the last two days or so, so all programme credits are clean at the moment (far as can be anyway) as is the ident...
Also the DOG's lost its fade out ability at part end, unless its doing it in the background of the current sponsorship, which is white so its invisible.

Challenge have a strange circular graphic in the top right corner of tonight's Millionaire. I can't tell what it's meant to represent, whether it's to signify 25 years of Millionaire today or what?
