Welcome to The TV Shelter.

We are sorry to say that as of the 8th April 2014, The TV Shelter will no longer be open to new posts, threads or members. Like that famous Monty Python sketch, this forum has joined the choir invisible.

However this will continue to remain as an archive so that visitors can mindlessly plunder through old threads to look at PIFs, TV listings and other miscellanea that made this place truly unique.

And if you still can't get your fix of TV nostalgia visit Facebook's TV Heaven or even TV Ark, the website that spawned the original forums.

And finally a long standing has made a successor to the TV Shelter, which to a few is reminiscent of when an ITV franchise would change to another. The forum is called The TV Lounge and should keep the spirit running that it's predecessors carried.

We hope you enjoy your visit.

This sounds brilliant news to me (and everyone else here) but has anyone wondered what they'll replace it with?

Don't really care what they choose to put on ITV2 but I always felt that showing this stuff on ITV1 was an abuse of a privileged broadcasting slot.

Ah, but ITV are also closing a load of local newsrooms to save cash - The Grade giveth, The Grade taketh away.......

Fantastic! I know they find it difficult to fill the over night slot but ITV play is dire. A film or two may be nice but I bet we end up with repeats of Corry with a deaf sign person in the corner. I would suggest to ITV some cult classics may be in order for the small hours like they have been doing on Men & Motors. They must be able to sell some advert space - surely!

yep i knew that, Simon McLean

only the Granada, Welsh and London areas are unaffected

Tyne Tees and border will merge.
Meridian (the entire function) and Thames Valley will merge
ITV West (formerly HTV West) and Westcountry will merge

Slightly off topic here but Godfather I have been looking at the regions that are to be merged and the ones that aren't. Whats happening with the Central, Yorkshire and Anglia areas or are they covered under Granada which is one of the unaffected ones?
