ITV needs to get its act together, tv burp is probably the only programme, which ITV does well (that I watch). Yet it isn't repeated at all, not even on ITV 2-4. Also it doesn't seem to be on the website, which needs a hell of a lot of improvement.
I didn't watch it on sat, and assuming there was no need I didn't record it either. I've just found the torrent so that'll do i suppose.

With advertising revenue heading down the toilet as viewers increasingly download, PVR and watch on the net, it's hard to see how ITV can ever get any better - obviously less advertising revenue means less money, less money means lower quality and cheaper programming, cheap programming equates to fewer viewers which means less advertising revenue.
It's essentially a set-up whose time has passed - it needs to hope that either embedded adverts catch on (probably drive more viewers away) or that legislators allow them to take up the American model of adverts every six minutes.
I genuinely couldn't tell you the last time I watched anything in real time on ITV.

"it needs to hope that… legislators allow them to take up the American model of adverts every six minutes."
I think Ofcom's already given them the go-ahead for that.
