    I DVR’d Oh Sit last night, and you might want to check it out- especially the fourth round, which was one of the strangest situations I’ve ever seen….

      …? Which episode? Watching an online stream, and didn’t notice anything funny. (including the show itself. )

    The deadline for this contestant call is 12 October – so does that mean it’ll be sometime early in 2013 when TP returns to our screens?

      Good shout that. I would have thought the 5pm slot goes something like this..

      (puts fantasy ITV1 schedulers hat on)

      Don’t Blow The Inheritance runs until next Friday.

      The Chase returns until end of Novemeber

      Gino and Mel do Christmas until Friday 21nd Decemeber
      (This is being recorded now, but can’t go in its usual lunchtime slot as Loose Wimmin will be back by Dec)

      5pm slot usually dissolves over the two weeks of Christmas, but suspect they’ll run random Celb Chase repeats over Christmas.

      New Chase episodes run for a few weeks from new year

      Tipping Point – early/mid Feb upto Easter?

        I agree with Mr. With a Y Not an I’s assessment, though nothing quite says 5pm on Friday 28 December so well as Celebrity Tipping Point. That’ll be with David Tupman from Dickinson’s Real Deal, the second runner-up from Superstar, Knitted Rolando Villazon from The K Factor, and Corrie’s Stunt Cat.

        More seriously, that also sets up for a new series proper on the 1st / 2nd / 7th of January. I still think that it’ll be very easy for ITV to overdo Tipping Point, and runs of about five weeks should avoid that fate.

      Both TP and Don’t Blow The Inheritance seemed to have extremely quick turnarounds, so it wouldn’t surprise me if we saw this by November, actually…

        The form asks if there’s any dates you can’t make for filming in November, so it’ll most likely be early 2013

          Ah, okay, didn’t get a copy of the form (though I’ve rarely been so tempted before…)

    I’ve applied. I wouldn’t mind a go at the show. I think I could do quite well.

    I’ll have to get a load of 2p pieces and practice down the arcade. If you take part in the show are you allowed to check to see if anyone has left any coins behind and use them for yourself.

    Ha, this is great news. It’s great fun to play (even when the counters just refuse to move for you!), I definitely recommend applying 🙂
