Ooh, this is like the UK gameshow equivalent of the axings at the US Upfronts. No surprises at all, though agree I'd have thought ITV would have given at least one of the Epic Show formats a chance as a series in it's own right. My choice would be Strike It Lucky - I think that suited Alan best - but they'd have probably gone for one of the Brucie formats (Play your Cards Right the better of the two IMO).

I think the BBC have commissioned enough in recent months that there would be no room for Catchpoint and I Can See Your Voice in the schedule anyway. And whilst ITV may have the Rugby World Cup it still feels like they probably have a slot or two to fill - something to accompany The Voice in the second half of the autumn and I guess they need to replace Romeo & Duet in the pre-BGT slot this Spring too. They have got Sitting on a Fortune and Moneyball to burn off over the summer, whilst Celebrity Chase now seems to be used in a similar way to Pointless and just has new episodes as and when a slot needs filling.
