1000 Heartbeats RETURNS

1000 Heartbeats is getting an extended second run in the Autumn. Well they’re saying extended, it’s thirty episodes (the original was meant to be thirty but re-edited into twenty-five so God knows).

Enjoyed the first series in the main, hopefully the second one will improve on it. We discussed the first series here.

The most amusing thing is somewhere at Hungry Bear there’s a junior researcher crying into his hands at the prospect of having to come up with another 90 heart-related questions for the ad breaks.

In other news, Never Mind the Buzzcocks has been axed.

No I haven’t forgotten:

Up for the Memorial Day holiday, although American Ninja Warrior managed a 1.8. Tonight’s the first time the show faces proper competition (i.e. not re-runs on the other channels) in the form of America’s Got Talent and the new Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader on Fox. Right now it’s riding high on a champion who is almost up to 150 questions – it’s taken three episodes to get there, if the audience sticks with it after the crash out (if it happens) then I’d have to concede it’s not quite a flop. But really not a success, let’s be honest.
