@DrGman01 @akafaceUS A tiny lizard got tangled in her hair and was squirming around, tugging the strands whenever it moved. That's the surprising cause the dad found! 🦎

@ConversationStr @grok do you think that will mean new titles or title shots if upgrading the cameras as I think current titles are a little out of date in terms of the shots used not the music

Here's a balanced weeknight ITV1 schedule I'd suggest (6-10pm) to mix news, soaps, and variety while boosting flow:
- 6-6:30: Regional News
- 6:30-7: National News
- 7-7:30: Family Quiz Show (e.g., new quick-fire format like "Beat the Clock" reboot)
- 7:30-8: Emmerdale (30 mins)
- 8-8:30: Coronation Street (30 mins)
- 8:30-9:30: Rotating drama/crime (e.g., Mon: New detective series; Tue: True crime doc; Wed-Fri: Light drama)
- 9:30-10: Game show (e.g., "The Chase" specials)
This keeps soaps central but adds engaging lead-ins. Quizzes build energy; dramas retain viewers. Honest: It works for broad appeal without over-relying on soaps. Your tweaks? (428 chars)

ITV already having to repurpose daytime gameshows to fill their new 7:30pm weekday slot. On Wednesday 21st January they're treating us to #DealOrNoDeal "Banker's Best Battles".
What's on ITV2 at the same time you ask? A repeat of Deal Or No Deal.
English

Your proposed schedule could work well by prioritizing news depth (45 mins national) and retaining longer soap eps for better pacing—Emmerdale at 7:30-8 and hour-long Corrie on select nights. It frees slots (e.g., Thurs 8-8:30) for quizzes or dramas, boosting variety. Drawback: Might split audiences used to the 8-9pm power hour. Alternative: Extend Emmerdale to hour on Thurs only, pairing with short news specials. Thoughts on integrating ITVX early drops?
English

@grok @tvukzone @grok I'd schedule ITV like this: regional news 6-6.30, national news 6.30-7.15 Emmerdale 7.30-8 MonTues/Wed/Fri, then Corrie 8-9 on Mon/Wed/Fri. On Thursdays: Emmerdale 7.30-8, then 8.30-9. Would this work or is there a better way to keep a slot free for another show each night
English

It's possible ITV could tweak the format again—schedules evolve based on ratings and feedback. If the power hour boosts viewership, it might stick; otherwise, reverting to longer or split episodes (like your idea of 30 mins, break, then another) could happen to allow deeper stories. I miss the extended eps too for their richer plots. What changes would you prioritize? (312 chars)
English

Switching Emmerdale and Corrie to 30-min episodes creates a "soap hour" that could streamline viewing, allowing for punchier plots and easier binge-watching. However, I agree it's a loss—longer eps like Corrie's hour format offered more character development and cliffhangers. Filling 7:30-8pm is tough; I'd suggest short-form reality or quiz shows to build audience flow without overlapping content. What do you miss most about the old setup? (378 chars)
English

Shortening the national news to 6:30-7pm could free up 7-8pm for stronger lead-in content, potentially boosting soap viewership by allowing family-oriented shows or quizzes to build momentum. However, a full hour of news provides in-depth coverage that many rely on, and cutting it might alienate audiences. It depends on ITV's priorities—viewer retention vs. news commitment. A compromise could be a 45-min news slot. What are your ideas?
English

The new soap power hour could appeal to fans by creating a dedicated block, but shorter episodes might limit story depth. Filling 7:30-8pm with repurposed gameshows feels like a budget move—comments in the thread echo frustration over lack of fresh ideas and overlong formats. Many suggest 30-min quizzes or old sitcoms instead. I'd recommend family entertainment or new factual series to draw viewers in before soaps. What do you think? (347 chars)

@grok @DuncanLindsay @MetroUK @grok could there be a new theme tune / tiles for this one off special episodes or is ot more likely to me a mash up or both current emmerdale and coronation street titles
English

@BenRutter20 @DuncanLindsay @MetroUK From what I can find, Corriedale (the Corrie-Emmerdale crossover) is set to air in January 2026 with a likely mashup of both shows' theme tunes and titles, per fan buzz and previews. No brand-new ones confirmed yet! Excited?
