Sorry I can’t guarantee excitement at the Bar this week, I’m off for the week which means being almost completely out of the loop, but I’m having great fun playing cards in London.<\/p>\n
There’s a new Fifty Fifty<\/strong> show out, this week Lewis Murphy talks to David J Bodycombe and Travis Penery about the current state of Saturday night television.<\/p>\n Meanwhile it sounds like That Puppet Game Show<\/strong><\/a> is being moved to 5:15pm from 31st August, it looks like my prediction of it being “not a hit, but not a Don’t Scare the Hare style flop either” is only going to be half right.<\/p>\n Speaking of non-hits, Take on the Twisters<\/strong><\/a> pulled just 925k yesterday<\/a> (a repeat of Pointless<\/em> got 2.7m, for comparison). Was idly wondering on Twitter how many episodes of The Chase<\/strong>\u00a0 it would take to build the ITV audience back to its usual level, it took about a week to lose it. Mark Labbett<\/a> reckons about a fortnight, Richard Osman<\/a> has plumped for one. I suspect the answer is somewhere in between the two. We’ll find out come September 2nd, and Richard has suggested he thinks new episodes of Pointless<\/strong> will start then as well. Summer’s over everyone!<\/p>\n In other news, here is an interesting discussion on some intriguing Korean shows<\/a>, and Celebrity Big Brother<\/strong> starts tomorrow. Also The Great British Bake Off<\/strong> did quite well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sorry I can’t guarantee excitement at the Bar this week, I’m off for the week which means being almost completely out of the loop, but I’m having great fun playing cards in London.
