Repeats of Popmaster are to start airing Friday nights on Channel 4 from the 25th.

Scheduled for 8pm where Millionaire Hoarders is, which puts it against Gardeners World (which commands the same demos I think?), Corrie and A Question of Sport. 

The first repeat faces Athletics next week, as well as GW and Corrie.

Just have been easier to strip the repeats one week after Countdown (given Popmaster is more a daytime quiz,), leading into A Place In The Sun, where at least it's out of the way of the big gameshows.

C4 have repeated it already, on Sundays once a week at 8pm on More4, where mostly it was competing with Antiques Roadshow and a Vera repeat.

Personally, I would've started it in daytime like Countdown and other quizzes like Chase, The Weakest Link (original), Pointless etc to give it time to build an audience and work out the teething problems before even thinking of primetime/celeb editions.

Here it felt Ian Katz was piggybacking off the publicity with Greatest Hits Radio and rushed it to primetime to take advantage.
