Popular Channel 5 Show Disappears Mid-Series in Latest Shake-Up

Channel 5 Shakes Up Schedule Again

Channel 5 has once again made a major schedule shake-up, this time affecting one of its most popular programmes, The Hotel Inspector. The current series has been dropped from airing, with only three episodes having been broadcast so far.

Unusual Move for Channel 5

This unexpected decision follows a trend at Channel 5 of altering or dropping programmes mid-series. The Hotel Inspector, hosted by Alex Polizzi, has been a ratings winner for the broadcaster and is one of their longest running shows.

Expert Eyes on Failing Hotels

In The Hotel Inspector, Alex Polizzi visits poorly-rated hotels and provides expert advice on finances, decor, and additional services to help them become successful again. The show debuted in 2005 and has been a hit with fans ever since.

Continued Changes at Channel 5

Channel 5 has been making last-minute editorial and scheduling changes throughout the year. Last month, they even decided to give astronaut Tim Peake's new programme a brand new name while it was still on air.

Previous Switch-Ups

This is not the first time Channel 5 has made such switch-ups. Clare Balding's missing dog programme also underwent a significant change for its final episode, with a new title being adopted. Despite the change, Clare occasionally referred to the show by its former name.
