You could say the same about ITV1's schedule in general. Apart from 1.5 hours (normally) in the evening, 2-4pm, and as of recently, the overnight hours, it's the same shows in the same slots for most of the week.

ITV's schedule has already gone stale IMO. It's bereft of any new ideas instead relying on old favourites like The Chase. Now while there's nothing intrinsically wrong with staying with shows that work that the same old same old must get annoying for many people.

I think ITV should use 2024 to refresh the schedules, bringing in new ideas especially from the afternoon onwards. Give The Chase and Tipping Point a rest is a controversial move but one that I feel is overdue.

And seeing as I'm sticking my head above the parapet how about revamping Corrie and Emmerdale into having 1 hour long slot a week so as to give primetime a boost.

The chances of the above happening are about as high as finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow but Im putting them out there.
