The move means it’ll be the first time that the show hasn’t featured on the main channel since 2001. New episodes will be available on demand from 6am Monday to Friday, while the evening episode will continue to air on digital channel 5Star. The show’s reported success on Five’s streaming platform is what has reportedly prompted the move.As I said, it’s a sign of how programmes are watched these days but it’s interesting in that it’s the first time since Channel 5’s launch back in 1997 that it hasn’t had a soap on its schedule.</blockquote>
