In fact the opposite is probably true. People would probably prefer to see the original presenters back rather than an ITV "golden handcuffs" person used in their 5th or 6th concurrent show for the network.
The ITV limited roster of presenters nowadays includes Schofield, Willoughby, Mulhern, Lemon and Ant n Dec.
Would not be surprised in the slightest! :yawn: :yawn:
Me too! I also think that Catchphrase is a disaster without ROY WALKER!
ITV is populated with fashionista idiots behind the scenes nowadays who have the bright idea of resurrecting old programmes (to keep in with their retro cool thinking) but utilise the limited *youngish* talent that ITV have on their books.
ITV is in danger of becoming a channel run by 18-30 year olds, that only appeals to 18-30 year olds and s*d the others in older age groups.”

Your pretty much spot on with that Mark - but I think its becoming like that not just with ITV but other channels as well, anything above (i'm 29 here) but I think if your above 25+ they are telling you to buzz off and go elsewhere
yeah the "reality" and revivals are the answers to all the channels/networks problems - sorry it ain't your appearing to cater to one set of viewers but at same time alienate "older" (in a nice way here) viewers for cack - where exactly is "quality" in programming? Yeah no wonder I would rather watch classic TV (fair enough some of the shows are always on repeat but my god I rather watch that to what we get now)
Was mentioned in thread regarding "reality" in a way - yeah just look at how Rylan Clarke of X Factor "fame" has been flogged about - appeared on Catchphrase/Tipping Point and is doing Big Brother
- yeah talent in UK has sank to the lowest depths - yeah and people wonder why some of these UK actors end up going stateside (example) - Networks need to really buck up and get in touch as pretty sure TV shows will be mostly hosted by people from "reality" shows or basically the run of mill "stars"
