It's got to be better than the painfully unfunny No Heroics surely?

Dunno whether anyone's mentioned this, but Heartbeat returns on April 19th in what is being promoted as "Episode: 1 of 9". Whether all 9 episodes air together week-after-week remains to be seen.

Before 9pm, the schedules for both ITV and BBC1 are totally uninspiring. Nearly all soaps with a few cheap factual shows like DIY: SOS and current affairs burried away against the soaps.
In terms of soap output, BBC1 have Doctors for 2 1/2 hours a week, Eastenders for 2 hours, Holby City for 1 hour, Casualty for 1 hour and Waterloo Road for 1 hour plus an hour of River City for us lucky Scottish people! It's rare to see "ambitious" programming pre-9pm. ITV do the football and had The Krypton Factor recently. BBC do My Family to try and use that EE lead-in on a Thursday. Casualty and holby are not on all year round(ithink they have a 45 week series) Waterloo road is shown for like 20 weeks you could say it like this 6 episodes of emmerdale 5 episodes of corrie then 2 for the bill(which yet again is not a soap) Doctors is more a drama which is not shown at Easter,xmas,summer |

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00jm52f Antiques Roadshow finishes next Sunday and the BAFTAs are on on April 26th, so that leaves 1 week to fill. Possibly an AR repeat (thought the adverse publicity they've had for trying to pass off repeats as new episodes might put them off) or one of those one-off David Attenborough-narrated wildlife documentaries. Then what'll be on BBC1 on Sundays after BAFTA (ooh that rhymes! )? What do we usually see on BBC1 on Sunday at this time of year? Waking The Dead?

So who's doing The Soap Awards next month? Just Schofield on his own?
Couldn't Harry Hill do it?

Tbh, I can't really see what more ITV could have done about Primeval. That's a big Britain's Got Talent episode and they'll want people to see the whole thing because it's going to be playing out the Kelly Brook scenario. I tend to think 90 minutes is too long for these shows (it didn't work with the XF boot camp episodes either) but perhaps with this "special event" it will be OK.
I don't think BGT will benefit from Doctor Who. There's no chance of BBC running on time that night. They'll either run over or get Robin Hood on before 7.45pm. At least Primeval will avoid a total clobbering from Doctor Who, as it starts half an hour before it, a clever move from ITV. |

The ITV Press Centre has also released a Press Pack for a drama called 'Boy Meets Girl': http://www.itv.com/PressCentre/Press...l/default.html
So, that's going to be starting quite soon. Wouldn't surprise me if it's on Mondays and starts on 27th April. There's 4 episodes, so it fits in nicely just before the Britain's Got Talent Live Finals week start. The show's very different to most of ITV's drama this year, which has been mostly crime-related. It's about a guy who ends up in a girl's body and vice-versa. Not too sure how it'll do in the ratings because non-crime/thriller dramas haven't done well at all on ITV in the past year. |

Casualty, Holby and The Bill don't, but Doctors, despite its occasional breaks, does. |

Although it's a shame when ITV1 choose to run comedy against comedy on a Friday. I expect they'll put the next series of Benidorm on on Fridays as well, giving that it fared so well in the slot last time. |

I can't see it airing on a Monday, as it wouldn't fit in with the crime/thriller theme, plus won't the Hell's Kitchen Final be on 27th April? If they put it on Friday it'll tank, Tuesday and Wednesday are busy with Soap Awards/Football, so it's looking like Thursday to me (unless they're stupid enough to put it on Friday). As for Heartbeat returning, I wonder what'll air after it at 9pm. Kingdom, maybe? |

After Hell's Kitchen finishes ITV will be left with a small gap in the weeks between when BGT semis start. I would guess Fridays will have drama repeats, Tuesdays factual filler and football, Wednesdays soap awards, Taggart repeats and other one off events, Thursdays possibly Boy Meets Girl and possibly another crime drama for Monday? Is there anything short enough left now? There's certainly still a lot of drama piling up on the shelves at ITV- a lot of which should have aired by now (Kingdom, Blue Murder etc) and ITV have also comissoned a couple of other things ready for Autumn, so there's quite a lot to still air. |

You're right about the crime/thriller theme, but what crime/thriller drama does ITV currently have to slot in for 4 weeks prior to BGT week? A few of the dramas they were going to show this season have been delayed. Has the HK final date been confirmed? Because they might decide to have it on the Sunday this year.

I wonder if there will even be another series of All Star Mr & Mrs with Fern leaving all things ITV. I don't know why some people say this and other game shows should be on Sundays, conflicting with those saying Beat the Star is Saturday night material.

Alternatively, that could be the new lower budget format. It's hell in that kitchen because MPW has no staff and has to do everything himself.

Anyone know how they'll do it - will we see Martin Freeman dressed in women's clothes or Rachel Stirling? I think that if they couldn't find a good audience for 'Lost in Austin' this might struggle, as it sounds similarly quirky, but it all depends on whether it's actually funny or not.
