C5 didn't air a Saturday show for the last series, but extended the Sunday show to 90 minutes I believe. There was also at least one of the later C4 series that didn't have a Saturday show - and other than an omnibus in the first couple of years the early C4 ones didn't either.

I do think it's the right call - gives viewers the night off if they want it and if they don't some earlier live feed action than normal, which is a nice alternative. The Saturday highlights were always by far the lowest rated of the week and it's main event was usually what you'd seen live 24 hours earlier.


I do think on the whole they're right to pick up from post-eviction but they shouldn't be stuck to that routine - this week I feel we missed out on the "morning after the night before" of the big argument that took place on Friday. They did at least extend by 15 minutes last night, the first time I felt a show benefitted from such an extension.

Ideally on eviction night they'd make better use of the extra 15 minutes they usually get by including a segment in the final part with highlgihts from earlier in the day of housemates preparing for eviction. They used to do a quick turnaround segment in the days when the eviction show was split to show some key moments the final hour or two between the announcement and actual eviction, so no reason it couldn't be done here. Would mean viewers not feeling like they're missing an entire day.
