I think it's safe to say Channel 5 wanted this to work. I am not sure the last show they made special ident/break bumpers for, plus Anneka has been on quite the promotional push for it.
But ultimately there were 2 big mistakes: day/time & show length.
It just isn't a Saturday night show, especially in a month where ITV1 have Takeaway and BBC One have The Wheel. It feels like it'd really suit them one evening at 8pm in a 60 minute format. Maybe it'd work at 9pm for 90 minutes, maybe it'd work in a Sunday night.
Probably didn't help that it got a pretty awful review on Gogglebox last Friday too.
