Fair point. People will watch Saturday night TV if they're in anyway
but nobody ever stays in to watch it (with the likely exception of
Doctor Who), so most Saturday night programmes are just game shows
like Family Fortunes and Millionaire. There's no point putting on a
potential ratings-grabber if nobody's going to see it.
