ITV is investigating why the wrong episode of Slow Train Through Africa with Griff Rhys Jones was aired on Friday night (April 10) .

The show launched last week with the fourth episode, rather than the first.

The series follows Rhys Jones's journey southwards from north Africa.

But from the first episode, seen by 2.4 million people, it appeared his journey began in Namibia, in the south west of the continent.

An ITV spokeswoman said to Broadcast Now: "The episode that played out last Friday did not correspond to the running order as billed, and we're looking into how this happened."

The series will now be broadcast in its original order, but with fourth episode left out.

And somehow it took them a whole week to notice.

Who can ever forget when ITV went to a commercial break during a football match and missed the goal...

Really, who gives a gooseberry fool?

The thing is for once it's actually not a bad TV show!

I'd imagine the 2.4 million people who tuned in expecting to see the first episode but got the fourth...

It was this one where ITV went to the adds and missed Everton scoring.

I loved this ad though by tic tacs re-enacting the goal as the ad when the goal was missed was because of their ad being shown.

They missed an England goal at a major tournament I remember that.

They employed Adrian Chiles to host football. Anything else they do pales into insignificance after that stupidity.

They lost any respectability long before that when they dropped Gladiators and replaced it with strawberry floating Popstars.

I'm shocked anyone noticed.

It was really embarrassing, as DOND had been doing really bad in the ratings, so they launched 'Couples Week', made a big hoo-hah - lots of adverts etc, then come the big launch on Monday, showed the same normal episode as the Friday. :lol:
