Not really sure what you mean.

I wouldn't worry, I haven't a clue what I was on about either

Is this "new" episode of Beat the Chasers (S4, Ep 5) one that was pulled at the time the rest of the series went out?

It is indeed. Was supposed to air as part of the Autumn 2021 series (the series that aired weekly on Saturday nights) but they pulled it and replaced it with a repeat pretty last minute. No idea why.

I wonder if the people who win tonight will only be getting their money now, or if it was paid 2 years ago? A long time to wait otherwise…

Bit of a tacky end, where Brad says “we’re back next Saturday”… surely they had a way of editing that out and replacing with something more generic.

It was the same last night on The Weakest Link where they showed a preview of “tomorrow’s” episode

In neither case was it edited out and in neither case did the announcer correct it, like they would have done in the old days. Probably as all continuity is pre planned promoting these days

ITV1 could’ve even tied into a promotion, with “they’re not back next Saturday, but The Chase is back tomorrow at 5pm.”

The Weakest Link one is interesting because does it even warrant a preview - even during its original stripped Xmas run? If they want it, shouldn’t they then be creating a version where that part just isn’t present to be the iPlayer/stored version for repeats (I don’t quite know how it works in terms of keeping these shows on a system to be repeated).

Yeh it's poor form, nobody really cares enough about this kind of stuff anymore in these days of automation.

[AaronLancs]

With The Weakest Link maybe the version on iPlayer could be a version produced for later broadcast.

You would think they'd make an alternative edit for repeats. Talking of which All Star Family Fortunes is cut to shreds on Challenge with all break stings removed completely
