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.

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.

I think Ofcom's already given them the go-ahead for that.
