Everything I Know About Love is starting on BBC One on Tuesday 7th June, at 22:40.

It’s then being repeated the following day at 21:00 on BBC Three.

Basically the same as Noughts + Crosses. But I don’t quite get the strategy? If these shows can’t get 9pm on BBC One, can’t they be gifted to Three for the first showing? But I don’t believe One is so flush in content it needs to be wasting dramas in that slot.

Antiques Roadshow pretty much the highest rating show on the BBC in recent weeks so of course makes sense to get someone else to make it. Currently produced by BBC Studios.

Would I Lie To You seems to have been swapped out at 9pm for Marcus Wareing's Tales from a Kitchen Garden?

Not sure why. I’d have thought there’s plenty of WILTY’s if one became inappropriate

Seems to be that the midlands and southern regions have opted out of showing WILTY? and those regions are showing different, locally relevant (i.e. the episode being shown in the West Midlands involving a trip to Shropshire and the episode in the West a trip to Gloucestershire) episodes of Tales From a Kitchen Garden.

It's a pre-planned regional variation for the East Midlands, Midlands, South East, South and South West as per TV Choice. Same again next week, but for the North West, South East and North (again according to TV Choice)

A bizarre slot for a gardening programme on BBC1 though

[Brekkie]

Really odd slot for such a show - the random documentary about a young Scottish darts player at 7.30 was probably a more appropriate slot to opt out of.

[Ash101]

Agree, that’s why it caught my attention as it’s right between a comedy block tonight.

But yes, checking the Sky guide it shows they all have a different episode from the series on. Northern Ireland had Question of Sport.

That darts documentary was part of the Our Lives strand, which is currently the regular programming in the Friday 1930 slot (bank holidays aside). Perhaps even better would have been the Garden Rescue repeat that aired on Monday at 2000?

So when has WILTY been moved to in those regions?

---

Also, Casualty is on quite late tomorrow - I don't watch these days but is this another Boiling Point style situation?

It's became more and more often to see Casualty post-watershed in the past few years, and it usually tends to turn up around 9pm nowadays.

I belive the scheduled episode was meant to be a feature length one starting before the 9pm watershed but the BBC have now decided to run the second part next week.

It was a 2019 episode repeated, so no other showing planned.

I think they've just swapped 2 episodes round... the feature length episode is now down for next Saturday.

Casualty has generally been at 9.20pm or so for a few years now - it only usually airs earlier if they're airing a double bill or if they back fill the schedule with a Mrs Browns Boys repeats.

It's everything else which is on late tonight - the early news bulletin isn't till 7pm, then a Weakest Link repeat at 7.20pm, followed by Catchpoint at 8.05pm and Pointless Celebrities at 8.35pm - the latter two feel at least an hour if not 90 minutes later than they should be.

Well, they wouldn't have been on that late but the planned feature-length episode of Casualty has had to be postponed, so it's a regular episode instead. Hence Catchpoint and Pointless pushed back and The Weakest Link dropped in.

There might have been more elegant ways to deal with it, but it was a last minute change.

[tellyblues]

The malaise of the weekend schedule seems to have spread to Friday with Would I Lie To You? repeats, the tired Question of Sport and the new series of This Is My House bombing. Surprised it got recommissioned and it's for nine episodes too.

[natashajacobs]

This is my house was good last season but I think it was a mistake to rip up the format the way they have. Also ditching the panel from last season which felt really balanced to a rotating one was not a good move.
