It doesn't help when they've had people on two or three times.

Does seem that ITV break for the summer earlier and earlier now - it used to only really be July and August where it would really be noticeable, and even then it used to be more with cheaper summer series (most inevitably being axed after one series) than a complete reliance on repeats.

It’s not a summer lull, it’s a slight cut back due to the advertising downturn

They were showing repeats of Catchphrase rather than new ones into Saturday Night Takeaway in March
