Graham Norton's new ITV game show The Neighbourhood has reportedly been removed from its prime-time slot less than two weeks after it started
Graham Norton's ITV programme The Neighbourhood has reportedly been moved from its prime-time slot less than a fortnight after launching. The television presenter fronts the broadcaster's new game show format, in which six real-life households move into a purpose-built street and battle for a £250,000 prize.
The series launched between both instalments of the dramatic I'm A Celebrity... South Africa finale on April 24, and has since been broadcast at 9pm on Thursdays and Fridays.
However, schedules reveal that the programme will now air at 10.45pm, stripping it of the prime slot it was initially given, reports the Mirror . This Thursday, viewers tuning in at 9pm will instead find a repeat of Davina McCall's Long Lost Family, while an episode of Beat The Chasers: Celebrity Special, first shown in 2021, will be transmitted on Friday.
The Mirror quoted an ITV spokesperson as saying: 'The full box set of The Neighbourhood is now available to stream on ITVX. Additionally, the show will continue to air in an evening slot on ITV.
' Sources have reportedly suggested that while the broadcaster pulled out all the stops to make the programme into a success, it hasn't worked out that way. A source told The Sun: 'They threw everything at The Neighbourhood to make it a big success, but it's ended up a bit of a damp squib.
' The six households participating are The Bradons, The Kandolas and Samra, The Lozman-Sturrocks, The Pescuds, The Scouse Haus and The Uni Boys. Challenges test every resident as they try to eliminate one another while avoiding becoming unpopular enough to face eviction themselves. Speaking about his first reaction upon seeing the entire set, Graham said: 'Arriving in Derbyshire and seeing the set, I'd seen pictures but I didn't quite understand the scale of it.
It really is like being on a movie set, except it's 360 - everywhere you look, it's real.
'The art department did an extraordinary job of building up that town square where we do the removals, the pub, the café, the interiors of the houses. It really took my breath away!
'It made it even more exciting. I thought - this is serious! We're making a big show.
Then add on top of that, what Derbyshire does when the drone goes up and we see the Neighbourhood and the nature and the rest of it, it's so beautiful, those big driving shots. It's just gorgeous.
' ITV has been approached for comment. The Neighbourhood airs on ITV.
