Overview
- The Neighbourhood, which shifts to 10:45 p.m. on Thursday, gives up ITV’s 9 p.m. hour to a Long Lost Family repeat and a Beat The Chasers special.
- ITV said the full series is already available on ITVX as a box set, with late-evening broadcasts continuing on ITV1.
- Reported figures show a drop from about 1.2 million viewers at launch on April 24 to roughly 500,000 by episode three.
- The series puts six real households in a purpose-built Derbyshire set to compete for £250,000, yet critics from outlets like The Guardian and The Telegraph faulted a lack of jeopardy.
- The scheduling change points to a streaming-first strategy and a reallocation of primetime to safer repeats as box-set releases draw viewers away from live TV.
