It started off in a prime-time slot, then having been scheduled again for that time, it was moved to 10.45, and having been scheduled tonight for 10.45, it was replaced by an old James Bond movie, which tbf might be good news for insomniacs!
They did a similar thing with The Staircase, though still did show the whole series on the main channel, even if it did end up being shown at 3 in the morning on a Tuesday.
From what I can glean from online chat, it's to get people to switch to ITV X, where the series can be viewed.
Oh well, guess it's where it's all heading now, streaming platforms.

Streaming is the best way, George. The Rainmaker is probably 40 minutes per episode yet it takes an hour to watch it on ITV. All the terrestrial channels have free streaming services. You just have to create an account.

Standard stuff. Give a programme a couple of weeks on the main channel and then drop it if no-one watches. The irony is that a lot of those who did like the first episode will immediately head to ITVx to binge the rest of the series, so that main ITV will see a fall in viewers.
I've got ITVx Premium for £60 a year, which means no adverts (except if watching live, of course). |

Thanks for the sensible replies.
As for my stalker, he just can't give it a rest, not even at 4.39 in the morning, what an extremely sad individual. |

Thanks for the sensible replies. As for my stalker, he just can't give it a rest, not even at 4.39 in the morning, what an extremely sad individual. He turns up when I post too George-he was stalking me at 4.35 am as well. Must have nothing better to than stalk anonymous men on an anonymous forum. I've blocked the nasty drunken creature but seemingly he persists. Needs to try some, 'other' type of forum if he craves male companionship IMO  |

Used to love Grisham and would snap up the hardbacks when launched, then suddenly it dawned on me that the same basic story was constantly recycled, and I stopped. They were fluently written though, real page-turners.

toldya. theres plenty more who think the same
dont you mugs notice the common denominator? fyi i was speaking to someone in aus who was punting at rosehill in sydney an alien concept to you 2 no-hopers |

By:
It was a mediocre series imo. Says it all when they’re stretching a film into a series these days.
I’m surprised it was shot in Dublin. I had to google it to believe it! |

So, stalking someone in Aus too, eh? I see. Have you considered seeking psychiatric help? |

By:
sk, did you watch Hit Point?
|
|
By:
No, never heard of it before. Like most things now it’s got mixed reviews. Any good?

Kembo I'm a bit disappointed that you didn't believe me ..

I thought it was all right, sk, quite watchable.

Apparently the first series that channel has produced itself.

I’d check my calendar, MJK, if a forumite told me tomorrow was Sunday!
I will add it to my watch list, George. Not much around worth watching yet alone. |

boy george embarrassing himself again
nobody thinks you are being storked, including you. its a feeble response to being rubbished by one who cant come up with any other go and watch some more conspiracy vids on loony tube you mug |

You could have easily ignored this thread, especially if you were 'talking' to your 'friend' in Australia, but like all stalkers you want a response, a reaction, you just can't help yourself, and when you get one you go off on one of your abusive rants. You are a sad, pathetic individual.

You are a sad, pathetic individual. He is George, and what's more, I feel sorry for Skippy having to listen to his drunken rants  |

im storking both of you and 6 others apparently. howbout that
the sad individual is the one that starts freds about silly tv programmes on a gambling forum. all i did was signal its tedium. and the one that gets irate is you. in frustration at being impotent and having no response, which is why you resort to the storking nonsense. and you aint alone in that failing imagine being on the same wavelength as leafy, the biggest dolt in forum history. enough to make anyone pause for thought |

When I see a thread title, which is clear what the thread is about and I suspect is likely to be tedious (IMO), I tend to just ignore it.
But you just had to have a peek, didn't you, you old stalker. And if I do happen to open one that I suspect is tedious, a quick glance and I'm off without comment. But not you, you just couldn't help yourself, even at 4.39 in the morning, you sad facker. |

By:
Btw, for those not familiar with ITV X, the next episode of The Rainmaker is actually being shown at 3 am on Tuesday morning.

By:
you are desperate and embarrassed. a few zz is a common sight on multiple freds. easily ignored. but you are uptight and hyper-sensitive, hence the ad hominem abuse, always the sign of a loser
as is the 'storking' that you embarrass yourself with go back to your fred, unstorked and dont stray as you get ironed every time. and everyone can see it. which is one reason you rarely venture from it fact |

So you admit to monitoring which threads I may or may not be posting on? Okay, you're not stalking me. |

By:
how dare you. outrageous andd typical of a sad pathetic loser.
 capitulation noted |

By:
now you are making stuff up
no. i look at every fred between races, like everyone else, except those started by unbearable you admit you dont give up you mug. daft boring fred gone on too long, and to your detriment |
|
By:

An unequivocal admission that you're actively monitoring which threads I'm posting on. I rest my case. Ta. |
