    Quite enjoyed watching the old Sweeney and Professionals re-runs

    Being replaced by ITV Play "A new participation channel where YOU the viewer get to play along live on TV and could win fantastic prizes"

    A 24 hour game show channel then whoopee cant wait (grrrr)

Men and Motors will be replaced by ITV Play, which will launch shortly after. Men and Motors will continue to broadcast on Sky, NTL & Telewest, offering the same mix of men's programming with following highlights in April....... "

    Shocking descion from ITV IMHO. The ratings for ITV4 have been poor so why not replace that?
