Noel admitted that he felt the show should have ended in the spring of 1995 at the conclusion of their fourth series, but it was pulling in 12 to 14 million viewers a week, beating ITV, especially Cilla's Blind Date, and so the BBC threw money at Noel and persuaded him to continue, which was the show's downfall.

ITV have paid Ant and Dec a lot of money for their new contract, so unless Limitless Win will be it's replacement, I wonder what else they can fill February to April 2025 with?

Limitless Win started off well but has tailed off since. It doesn't feel strong enough to command the schedule. ITV aren't going to get SNT type numbers from it by moving it earlier but then again they are going to struggle to get close and even less chance with a quiz show.

They are missing something in the vein of You Bet, Take Me Out, a kids gameshow of the 90s - big and bold. It could be argued that Ninja Warrior is/was that but it's perhaps too competitive and not fun enough. Budgets will probably decide a quiz show in the end but there's enough of them about.
