They might well leave it in. I distinctly remember the Countdown final on Challenge having two shoehorned-in breaks, leaving three across fifty minutes.
Wheel of Fortune seems to be returning in The Netherlands coming fall on SBS6, the first series ran from ’90 to ’98, with an event celebration return in 2009.
I’d think Wheel of Fortune is one of the few formats that’s evergreen; not that expensive to make and an easy format for people to catch an ep here or there- I’m actually surprised the UK hasn’t had another run by now on C4 or C5..
Who owns the rights to the Family Feud/Fortunes format anyway?
Fremantle.
It’ll be interesting to see how they edit out all the bits where it would go to a commercial break in the USA!
How many breaks does it have? I thought it was a half-hour program with just the one.
No, US half hours tend to have three breaks.

Our format is:
Single
Single
BREAK
Double
BREAK
Triple (plus a #1 answer only sudden death if needed)
BREAK
Fast Money
I suspect they’d condense the show to
Single
Single
Double
BREAK
Triple/SD
Fast Money
Without commercials, an ep runs about 20 minutes, so they probably will schedule a 25-minute slot….
Fair enough, although they’ve started showing 35 minute episodes of Bullseye so they’ll probably air them side by side. Or a 35 minute BBC show…
Missed an open goal there with that subject line, should’ve also linked to the ep of Get Stuffed you found. (“Alcoholic! Mushrooms!”)

That’s interesting, it seems to be having a sort of resurgence. It’s coming back to Germany this Autumn as well albeit on a digital channel.

Especially as there were fairly successful runs on the continent a little while ago.
