And Casualty against Limitless Win. That schedule would make sense, yes. No point showing similar shows against each other, they'd both suffer. So Limitless Win and Wheel of Fortune both need to avoid a Pointless/Weakest Link clash.

I think other than ITV worrying about Strictly there is not too much concern about counter scheduling nowadays. I'd say they'll likely run Gladiators and Michael McIntyre from 6.30-8.30 with The Weakest Link before and Pointless/Casualty after.
Could be fun if the BBC air The Wheel at 6pm though and all the young folk complain the ITV rip off doesn't even have the contestants sitting on the wheel.

Of course the US Wheel of Fortune is often just called Wheel. ITV will have to consistently use it's full name!

It's funny how many shows in primetime are daytime shows.

Talking of which on the other side of the world it's just been announced Tipping Point Australia will get a sneak-peak preview on Christmas Eve at 7pm ahead of it's premiere in a daily slot after the Australian Open in January. It'll take much the same format but the ads tease a new end game.
It looks like Seven will be countering the launch with a "Double Trouble" twist to The Chase with two Chasers playing against contestants in each episode, presumably for a limited run.

I believe these are still episodes recorded in Bristol. I remember a while ago they were advertising for Australians who were in the UK to take part.
Edit: here’s the Facebook post about it…

They have filmed 100 episodes in Melbourne. Unclear if those filmed in the UK were anything more than pilots.

They’ve turned it around quite quickly in that case, if they were only advertising for contestants for the pilots in April this year, to recording a full series in Australia to broadcast in December/January – especially compared to the 1 to 2 year turnaround of British episodes.

I'd imagine the UK filmed ones would need to air first? After all, it's unlikely to go unnoticed that the studio is different. Use them first and it'll look to Australians like they just tweaked the set after recording that first batch. I can't see them not airing at all - they wouldn't have needed to do TEN pilot episodes, you only need one to make sure the presenter can do his job, and to test out that endgame change. I can't imagine what they could have changed it to though. Brekkie, that ad you mentioned isn't on Youtube is it?
And how is two Chasers on the normal Chase format going to work? When the UK one has used multiple Chasers on things like Christmas specials, they'd had one face each contestant and then one do the Final Chase, allowing them to use all five Chasers in the same show (this was before Darragh "the Menace" Ennis debuted). The only time we see two together is on Beat the Chasers.
