I’m guessing In For A Penny at 7pm & Epic Gameshow at 9pm? Which seems like quite a solid lineup considering the loss of BGT.
Since adding Masked Singer to Q1, ITV do seem to be growing a good rosta of Saturday entertainment shows!
EDIT: Ah - ITV press centre seems to confirm Catchphrase repeats are shifting to 6:30pm & Game of Talents is only 60 minutes.

I expect IFaP will launch at 7pm the week after.

Have they even filmed it all yet? A very fast turnaround for this series. Curious to see how some of the formats cope (presumably) without audiences. Price is Right is the obvious one where it could be an issue.
I think Game of Talents was only filmed last week too so they won't have seen much of it before locking in the schedule.

Catchphrase is actually new that night, there's one left from the series that presumably was deliberately saved to lead into the launch of Game of Talents. I expect In For a Penny will slot in at 7pm the following week (with Catchphrase back to 6.30pm).
Agree though considering BGT only got canned a few months back and the Moneyball issue it's a solid lineup. Jonathan Ross rounds it out at 9.35pm.
As for The Void, Ashley & Fleur is not a pairing I'd have predicted but I don't see an issue with it. Did enjoy Ashley saying in the press release that it's the first gameshow he's ever presented. He's conveniently forgotten about Can't Touch This then!
Wonder if they'll wait until the Summer to film it, when presumably they'll be allowed some kind of crowd?

They're filming Epic as we speak, think it finishes at the end of this week. Game of Talents actually starts filming this Friday.

They better hope they don’t have another moneyball.

Can't imagine Game of Talents will have set issues if the international versions are anything to go by.

Oh wow - even quicker turnarounds than I thought then. I assume the episode of Epic that airs this Saturday is in the can otherwise that's remarkably quick.
I thought they were filming Talents last week as Vernon Kay put something on Instagram suggesting he was on set, but must have been rehearsals. That seems a very quick turnaround for a brand new show, there will be barely any time for trailers using actual content from the show.
Then again, All Star Musicals only filmed 9 days before it aired and it worked out fine. They best hope they don't get shut down by covid or any other issues.
I notice our version of Game of Talents features a member of the public being paired with a celebrity as the contestants (rather than two members of the public like the US version). That adds a layer of difficulty as of course with two members of the public they could be from the same household bubble. Are we expecting them to use plexiglass between the contestant and celebrity or will they be able to form a close contact cohort like we've seen on other shows (I've only seen this on shows with celebrities though, not on anything involving the public)?
I'm sure both Epic and Talents will be fine in terms of turnaround, The Wheel managed to record an entire series within a week as did Family Fortunes. It's not exactly Dancing on Ice!

Why on earth do they need to include celebrities - they did it with Rolling In It and it added nothing. If they really want to have celebrities, then they should just do a celebrity special.
Epic Gameshow felt a bit flat without a real audience, I'm guessing they were on a tight timescale but a virtual audience would have added a bit of oomph.
I think both Game of Talents and I Can See Your Voice may struggle. Of the promos I've seen so far neither are really enticing me to watch, or indeed really saying what I would be watching. I think both will suffer from people thinking they're talent shows so either not watching, or tuning in then tuning out when they're not what people expect.
ITV do have the Grand National and then a new Celebrity Catchphrase leading in to Game of Talents so may do better, though surprised they've not bought their schedule forward 10 minutes so remove the I Can See Your Voice headstart, though maybe not lining up the junctions is just as wise a move.
Yes - I did wonder about the junctions. But presumably they’re hoping Catchphrase will hook in enough of their regular Saturday night audience to mean they won’t flip to BBC One once they’ve missed the first 10 minutes over there.
I’m looking forward to seeing what both are like, but I Can See Your Voice seems more exciting to me.
But ITV are pushing Game of Talents, even a video from Vernon at the end of Takeaway.
I’ll be checking out Game of Talents but I don’t think both formats sound that good from the synopsis.
In other news, In For a Penny will be back on 17th April, presumably before Game of Talents.
Game of Talents is actually pretty decent from the bits I've seen from various international versions
