Something For The Weekend could return on ITV - Daily TV round-up
Axed BBC Two show 'Something For The Weekend' could return on ITV, according to reports.
The magazine show, presented by Tim Lovejoy, chef Simon Rimmer and Louise Redknapp, was cancelled earlier this week.
Since then fans of the show have set up a Facebook page in the hopes of saving it, with over 22,000 supporters so far.
An insider at ITV told the Guardian that 'we're always looking at things that might work creatively. But it would not be called 'Something for the Weekend'.'
The show is made by independent company Princess Productions, rather than the BBC, so could effectively be transferred to another channel.
A spokesperson from Princess confirmed the cancellation this week, saying: “We can confirm the current series of 'Something For The Weekend' will be its last. The show continues to maintain the high ratings and popularity.
“The decision not to renew is down to the proposed cuts to budgets and in original daytime commissioning.” [The Guardian]
