The Wheel fans left furious over unusual scheduling conflict and repeats being aired

dailystar.co.uk:

The Wheel has spun itself a riddle with bizarre scheduling.Last Saturday, the latest episode of Michael McIntyre's gameshow was shelved by the BBC and a repeat was shown in its place.Viewers were disappointed when they tuned in and realised it was an old episode.One said: "Absolutely p*** poor from the #bbc to show a repeat of #thewheel at half eight on a Saturday night."This is not good enough and not what we expect from the licence fee."Another moaned: "Sod off BBC.

It's Sat night, primetime viewing and you've got a repeat on."In another odd move, the new episode was finally aired last night – at 11.25pm.It boasted big-name guests, including Strictly judge Shirley Ballas, TV chef Ainsley Harriott and DJ Jo Whiley – but it was still given a graveyard slot in the schedule.That means millions of fans didn't realise it was on and missed it.

This Saturday, another repeat is being shown.The BBC didn't comment on the move last night.It comes two weeks after the show celebrated beating Ant and Dec's Saturday night show Limitless in a primetime ratings' battle.Their new ITV game show Limitless Win was beaten in the Saturday night ratings' war by The Wheel a few weeks back.A source revealed that Ant and Dec's Limitless - where contestants compete for a limitless cash prize for the first time in TV history - only pulled in an average audience of 4.4 million.The ITV show was pitted against The Wheel on BBC One but beat it by a million viewers.The game show later dropped to 3.7million and fell further to 3.5million a week later.McIntyre's fun-packed celebrity game show got 3.7 million - meaning it beat Ant and Dec for the first time.A source said: "This will be very bad.
