Apprentice Tuesday?
Waterloo Road Wednesday?
Watchdog Thursday?
Seems a little odd they've changed programme schedules for 8/9pm this week. Can anyone shed any light? Thanks.

Makes no difference to me as I don't watch any of the programmes mentioned!
Then don't comment if it does not apply to you:rolleyes:
BGT isn't on Wednesday so maybe that's to get ratings for waterloo road and eastenders. Forget watchdog who cares about that .... NOT!!
And so Watchdog moves to Thursday to give WR its Wednesday slot.
Similarly the new medical drama, Frankie, will likely have a large female audience, so they don't want to put it on against Coronation Street which will have the same, So the BBC have moved it to Wednesday to play against the football likely to be a more male-friendly TV programme.
So The Apprentice, which has a track record of rating okay against Coronation Street and BGT Live Results moves to Tuesday to give Frankie its Wednesday slot.
So what the competition is doing at specific times, if changes are made, is more important than keeping faith with the viewers, which seems an odd way of approaching a business.
I never trust my telly mag.
Always check on the day if I've a planned recording of a programme.
