ATV World is grinning smugly that it has managed to steal Cracker (World, 9.30 pm) from beneath TVB Pearl's nose.
The station saw something good - a highly-acclaimed series with an established following - and decided to go for it by outbidding its rival.
Its commitment to quality can only be applauded.
That said, you would think it could get its scheduling right. My colleague, Richard Cook, on the Post Magazine, spent yesterday afternoon frantically changing his listings and column for this coming week, one hour before the magazine was due to be printed.
White Ghost, the Cracker episode filmed to much publicity in Hong Kong, was scheduled to appear on Sunday; he had, naturally, gone to great lengths to comment on it.
Days before airing, the station discovers it has the running order of the third series back to front.
