I’m just going to quote Iain Weaver verbatim:<\/p>\n
The Fifteen-to-One<\/strong> revival of 2014 is happening. It starts on Saturday 5 April at 5.15, with what appears to be an hour-long edition featuring \u201ccelebrities\u201d.<\/p>\n
Then it pops up on Monday 7 at 4.30, still running for a full hour, I think those are \u201ccivilian\u201d episodes.<\/p>\n
Other channels are pulling out their big guns: provisional schedules feature new Tipping Point<\/strong>, new Chase<\/strong>, new Pointless<\/strong>, and repeats of The Great British Bake Off<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I expect a reasonable amount of excitement for the first few episodes – very intrigued to see what happens after that. I couldn’t see it doing well when the idea was mooted, I still can’t, especially at 60 minutes in length. And 5:15 feels early for a celeb special of something they hope will breakout, I don’t think Pointless\u00a0Celebs<\/strong> will have much to worry about.<\/p>\n
I predict 900k-1m for the first civvy episode and everyone will get excited and go “ooh it’s a hit!” and it’ll be below 700k by the end of week two. I don’t know how much it needs to be seen as a success, but it’s not like Come Dine On A Trip In A Bed<\/strong> is expensive to make.<\/p>\n
Needless to say, it would be quite embarrassing if it turns out Deal Or No Deal is STILL more popular almost ten years on, and with barely 15% of its peak audience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
