Surely they are aware of what they're doing here?

ITV bosses today released their updated schedule for Saturday after Ant McPartlin's arrest on suspicion of drink driving and subsequent return to rehab has forced them to pull Saturday Night Takeaway.  They have made the completely inadvisable decision, however, to include Fast Five in the rescheduling, which will air at 22:15, just over an hour after Saturday Night Takeaway would have finished. https://twitter.com/thevoiceukpress/status/975784636537364482 If you need me to explain why this is bad, or insensitive, then here you go: the clue is in the name The Fast and the Furious. You know what the films are about, right? Understandably, ITV have been completely ridiculed on social media for the move: https://twitter.com/ThisisClive/status/976072478199107585 https://twitter.com/EmmaCLJones/status/976139354346270721 https://twitter.com/jamesv_t/status/976065309470855169 https://twitter.com/MrsPhilPerry/status/976147357455745025 https://twitter.com/Tractorgirl_77/status/975880243780177920
