I thought The Hustle was back on Friday?

[Biscuitsandtea]

I was sure that The Hustle was back on the Beeb on Friday 6 Jan. In fact, I thought I recalled setting it to record on my Sky+ box (although I AM pregnant so may well have imagined it )

Anyone know where it's gone?

It's been pushed back because of the programmes last night on Stephen Lawrence.

why?

Because they had to find room in the schedule for a programme that was not planned to air yesterday. Is that what you mean asking why? I assume you know about the verdict?

how bizarre, but then I hate those programmes that they suddenly show to cash in

Oooh, I see. Yes I saw that prog last night. So presumably this 'Public Enemies' thing that's on on Friday instead has been shifted back by a day.

Thank you

I assume you are joking Sevenfold? If so it is in extremely poor taste.

why? they shove a programme about a tragic thing on the tv at short notice, to cash in on it.
why is it bad taste to say that?

How is it 'cashing in'? Really don't get your logic. It is a high profile news story and as such is worthy of interrupting tv schedules to cover. Not sure what paper you read but it was on the front page of every UK paper today.

oh do grow up ffs, no need to get all silly about it. I can say that I think these programmes are cashing in.

It's on BBC one HD friday at 9pm.

Cashing in implies something distasteful imho. I don't see how reporting a verdict of a major murder trial is distasteful.

We shall have to agree to differ and you can get back to important tv programmes like Hustle

I will try to explain
the news covered the verdict
the BBC shoved in a programme at short notice, why?
to get viewers.
to cash in

BBC and ITV. I doubt they got any more viewers than the programmes they replaced.

WheredidIputit - my sky planner shows Public Enemies on BBC HD at 9 on Friday?

I have worked it out..
public enemies was over 3 nights so they had to show it over 3 nights this week,
Hustle one night so they can just bump it.

Weirdly the writer of Public Enemies, Tony Marchant, didn't mind at all that his slot on Radio 5 Live discussing his new programme was bumped from yesterday to today. That was despite him going to the studio yesterday and everything and he had to go back today, and change what he had planned to do today. I now see that as a particularly selfless act.

It's on BBC ONE HD not BBC HD. I don't u

Sorry ds helped.

As I was trying to say I don't understand why bbc has 2 hd channels.

ah - i'll check the planner again......

Nope still shows public enemies on BBC One HD at 9 on Fri, BBC HD has something about Sicily .

I read elsewhere though that it's been moved back to next Friday instead? So hopefully it'll pop up on the planner tomorrow
