Did I hear correct?

[piskieinboots]

Please say I didn't! I'm sure I caught a clip on the news this morning to say that due to 'financial issues' there will be no more Heartbeat or The Royal nooooooooo

The Sunday feelgood slots are the perfect end to a weekend - I really hope I misheard - I often do

[jackie j]

Yes you did hear right but they have two years worth in the can so not for a while yet.

[piskieinboots]

so I have two years to detox from them then?

[HeyWayne]

I heard that, but I'm sorry to say I don't like either programme so I thought it was a good thing. Until I heard that as a result of the cutbacks (some 600 jobs) there will also be less new programming, and more repeats.

Great.

I was just reading about it, bizarrely, on the BBC BBC NEWS | Business | Troubled ITV cuts jobs and costs They're closing the studios in Leeds too

we like to watch on sundays as well,it's not full of the violence and bad language as much,as the upto date things can be,a more gentle era,DH likes to watch the repeats

[lainey lou]

I can't stand either of those programmes, infact Heartbeat gets called S*!tbeat in our house, so I aint bovvered!

(about the programmes that is didn't mean to sound heartless about the jobs)

Credit crunch = I think they will just roll out more of the old repeats that we have all seen a hundred time b4! No money for new programs even though we still have to pay through the nose for our TV licence

ITV is funded via advertising revenue.

See I don't actually 'get' the Sunday Chat and I'm sure it's just me!

I don't get it because we 'chat' all the time - but if it were a live (as in MSN/Chat Room) chat then it would be more instant. I know it's just me that feels this way because so many of you do take part in the SC and yes I have tried it - a long way back.
