On 18 September 2016, Steve November has a problem. At 9:00pm that night, the slot arrives in ITV’s schedule that would normally be filled by the season premiere of Downton Abbey.
As Director of Drama for the ITV network, November has to find a replacement – Downton is ending, with the last ever episode to air this coming Christmas Day. And, given Downton’s blockbuster ratings performance, it’s going to be a fiendishly difficult act to follow.
The move will see a 10% increase in programming investment for the channel, which moves up the EPG to channel 121.
New one-off drama Birthday, adapted from Joe Penhall’s sell-out play, will air on Tuesday evening.
Stephen Mangan stars as Ed, a pregnant man waiting to give birth on an NHS maternity ward, accompanied by his high-flying executive wife (Anna Maxwell Martin).
The broadcaster has made a commitment to increasing high-quality arts programming across Europe.
