what is the point in that extra 10 mins when they only show 3 0r 4 minutes of late night gossip? they have a five minute break from 11 then use like 2 minutes. Its so unnecessary, they could easily add 5 minutes and make it a 75 minute slot, so it has some cohesion.

It's a new rule from Ofcom. The show is allowed to add an extra ad-break (which makes the show money) at 11pm, that's why it runs on until 11.10.

must have had a small budget this year. Not only have they cut half the shows and live feed, they feel the need to stretch an hour show to accomodate 4 ad breaks. pretty cheap and tacky if you ask me

doesn't bother me in the slightest, if you dont want to watch the extra 5 minutes, don't watch, no?

agreed the last ad break is a total waste of time. Don't think I have ever seen such small "parts". Bearly starts and its stops
