Something for the weekend BBC2; this is the last run

[madmaggot]

i'm so disappointed, IMO the best chat show on TV.
Anyone else upset by this?

It's good hangover tv. I'd rather they kept it and replaced Louise redknapp

[vodkancoke]

I'm sad about it, I love it. Great hangover tv! Stupid BBC!

[madmaggot]

The trouble is they've never really promoted it, they have some great guests, real food receipes that people will actually cook and it's the only show that does cocktail/drink receipes. (Not that I drink but I love the variety.) And you don't get all the blatant inuendo and the bad language that other talk shows seem to think is trendy.

[ummmm]

I love it :-(

Why has it been cancelled?

[madmaggot]

I assume it's cost cutting; they said this morning that it is the last run.

Im a fan and am sadden to hear it will be finishing in March. There isnt really anything else on like this on a Sunday, shame.

[EvianBaby]

I read yesterday it was going to be replaced with repeats of other programmes. Wonderful! Just what we had all hoped for.

AW really?? I love it too. I missed it this morning as I had my little granddaughter overnight. Still, Jungle Junction was quite good.

[erin-x]

Aw that's a shame. Simon Rimmer is one of my favourite tv chefs. I love Tim as well :-)

[Mattk]

Not exactly 'must watch' tv for me but good nonetheless.

The Beeb always seem to cancel shows that have a strong fan base rather than ones that really wouldn't be missed.

Shooting Stars was cancelled last year and I hope another channel picks it up.

I sky+ it for background tv, but think its a bit too long really.

[bibblebub]

it might be moving to ITV http://www.guardian.c...g-for-the-weekend-itv

I love the programme, but can't for the life of me understand the point of Louise Redknapp on there - it's a million times better when she is on holiday and Amanda stands in for her. I will miss it.

[Sooper]

Totally agree Smart! I do really like Louise, she does seem like a really nice person but she isnt a natural gifted presenter like Amanda or any of the other replacements that they have had when she has been away on one of many holidays!

i watched it yesterday for the first time in yonks, and must admit that i felt a bit bored after a while. too much cookery ?
