ITV to air back-to-back quizzes for four hours all week in schedule shake-up as new show joins daytime line-up
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ITV look set to air back-to-back quizzes all week for a four-hour quiz takeover in the afternoon. The channel will have quizzing enthusiasts chomping at the bit with the addition of a FOURTH quiz show to its afternoon line-up. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 ITV daytime looks set to air four hours of back-to-back quizzing Credit: ITV 5 Celebrity Catchphrase is joining mainstays such as The Chase Credit: Rex From this week, quizzes will take over from 2pm and will dominate the scheudles right through until the ITV Evening News. It's good news for fans of Celebrity Catchphrase with the primetime show now being aired at 2pm each afternoon. ITV will be airing a slew of re-runs of the programme fronted by Stephen Mulhern before its usual three quiz mainstays. As usual, Adil Ray's Lingo will then follow at 3pm before This Morning star Ben Shephard swoops in with Tipping Point at 4pm. The four-hour marathon will then be closed out by ITV's quizzing juggernaut, The Chase, at 5pm. It means fans will have a total of four hours worth of quiz shows to keep them entertained. This schedule shake-up comes shortly after ITV launched its very own dedicated quiz channel to purely focus on their quiz outputs. ITV Quiz replaced ITVBe known for airing hit reality shows and programmes from across the pond. Much-loved shows such as TOWIE and Real Housewives moved to ITV2 as a result of the massive shake-up. When announcing the move earlier this month, bosses said ITV Quiz will feature the broadcaster's "market-leading UK quiz and game shows". All Saints' Mel Blatt struggles with £5k riddle on Celebrity Catchphrase - but could you have got it right? Wheel of Fortune, Tipping Point, Lingo, Tenable, the rebooted Deal or No Deal and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? all appear on the channel. Elsewhere, The Chase has its own dedicated channel on ITVX. Episodes are screened 24 hours a day via a special channel created for the online streaming service.

Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: 'From the 2000 awards ceremony onwards, the Best Actress Oscar has never been won by a woman whose surname begins with which one of these letters?' The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000. - Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the "worst" question in the show's history.

The query went as follows: "Edna's birthday is on the 6th of April and Jen's birthday falls on the 15th of October, therefore Amir's birthday must be the 'X' of January." It turns out the conundrum links the numbers with its position in the sentence, so 6th is the sixth word and 15th is the fifteenth word. Therefore, Amir's birthday is January 24th, corresponding to the 24th word in the sentence. - Viewers of Lee Mack's popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed.

I was at Oasis Heaton Park - if you want the old Gallaghers this isn't for you
If you miss the histrionics of the final Oasis years, the chaos on confusion on stage, this new tour may not be for you. But having now seen it three times in a week, I think there are plenty of signs Noel Gallagher is moulding the band into a sharper sounding unit. And at the heart of it is a consistent vocal performance from brother Liam. On Saturday night at the end of the show the brothers hugged and then Noel pointed over to his brother in a clear show of admiration and to tell the crowd just how much he loved Liam's performance. It was a shocking sight, the total opposite of their old rows on stage. This symbolic show of respect - Liam raises Noel's arm aloft to start the shows too - means they are surely starting to get on better behind the scenes too. Noel is loving working with Liam's voice again. And perhaps he is now relaxing into the gigs a bit more as we saw some extra little guitar ad-libs, with longer intros and outros of songs are on display compared to the Cardiff comeback. To my ears the band's keyboard player Christian Madden has also been turned up on notch on some songs to good effect. And new drummer Joey Waronker has found his feet and the band is sounding tighter. 'What a f**king joy,' Liam said towards the end of the gig as they prepared to sing Wonderwall, and he wasn't wrong. If he keeps his end of the bargain and rests now and can keep his voice on track, Noel can tinker with the sound and the wall of guitars and the gigs will only get better. Would I like more stage interaction? Of course. And some of the lines on stage are now pre-planned which doesn't feel very Oasis. But the Gallaghers have grown up, and like their mature fans who can only manage to jump up and down for the odd song in three these days, this style of set is what they need to make things work. And if Liam protects his vocal chords, little by little Noel is going to make Oasis even better. Saturday night also saw Richard Ashcroft change up his set list in the support slot, bringing in Weeping Willow. Fans who are going to more than one Oasis show, myself included, would love to see Noel do this but I'm not sure it's very likely, he will concentrate on getting this set right, they will want to stick to the ones that worked best in rehearsals. So roll on the next two hour singalong at Heaton Park. And long may the Gallaghers love in continue.
