No mention of The Durrels, is there a second series?
get ready for the shows to be moved time slots or moved to 7two or mate
Some are actually purchased for 7TWO. You can’t play the test pattern.
ITV certainly have a lot of fingers in a lot of pies including European shows.
Would be good to see more recent episodes od The Chase
Murdoch Mysteries double on 7Two on Thursday nights, has been one of the success stories of 2017.
