ITV has a very bad summer prime time schedule for Saturday nights, they really have flown the white flag of surrender and are literally telling the viewers to find something else until September arrives.
These schedules takes me back to the early and mid 1990s growing up, when BBC One and ITV would be packed full of repeats during the summer season.
BBC One were usually the worst back then, with repeats of anything they could find to fill prime time.
I remember there was an interview with Michael Grade from around 1989, when he said come Easter every year, BBC One had largely run out of money, and for the following four months it was a bare bones schedule filled with repeats, imports, movies, sport and maybe if they were lucky some new material.
