PopmasterTV - just seemed to be created to practically capitalise on the publicity around Ken Bruce defecting to GHR, and the fact he was able to get a TV version made, as the BBC weren't interested. 

Then rushed to transmission quickly (think Eldorado) rather than waiting a few months to work the teething issues, and giving the show a primetime slot when it had yet to establish itself in the game show arena (shows like The Weakest Link, Countdown, Eggheads, Pointless, The Chase, etc, had to start from daytime first beforehand before making the progression into primetime slots)

Not even Terry Wogan got a primetime slot with his Perfect Recall game show (he went out at 5pm) when he was on C4.

But Popmaster ended up doing pretty well for More4 in the end though it's likely if it's gets a second series that it will be weekly as the first episode and the final got the highest ratings.
