The question I guess is whether ITV will try to repeat Deal or No Deal in the 4pm slot on ITV1. It's had a rerun on ITV2, which it feels like they can get away with - but just not so sure it works being repeated on the main channel in the same slot given the continual nature of the show.

Agree it wouldn’t work being repeated on ITV1 which will work against it as part of the economy of the daytime gameshows is how repeatable they are.

The ITV2 repeat run did pretty well though, over 300k some nights in a slot where they often hover around 100k. So that could well become a more permanent slot for repeats.

If they really wanted to be bold they could hand Tipping Point the 3pm slot (where it would do far better than any of the other gameshows they have there), Deal or No Deal 4pm and The Chase 5pm and have all three running most of the year, with Tenable, Riddiculous, Jeopardy and Lingo subbing in where required to give each a bit of a breather.

It seems a shame to cut so far back on Tipping Point when it still rates so well (not that much lower than DOND and far better than Jeopardy).
